Virtual reality in specialist palliative care: a feasibility study to enable clinical practice adoption

Virtual reality in specialist palliative care: a feasibility study to enable clinical practice adoption | Simulation in Health Sciences Education | Scoop.it
It is feasible to use VR therapy in palliative care; however, further evidence about its efficacy and effectiveness is needed. Palliative care practitioners considering VR use should carefully consider several factors, to ensure that this technology can be used safely and effectively in clinical practice.

The benefits to crossing this bridge are manifold. Whether it’s training in a simulated emergency room, intensive care unit (ICU), or birthing unit, or practicing critical decision making via online simulation, simulations impart incredible knowledge and experience without putting patients or healthcare workers at risk. Experiential learning is what every healthcare professional needs, but often what so few have access to.

Virtual Reality Used To Treat Mental Health Problems

Virtual Therapy: VR is taking off in the film and gaming industries, and now the medical profession are taking interest. New software is helping patients around the world to relieve mental health conditions like PTSD and Alzheimer's.

At Oxford University a new study has phobia sufferers immersed in claustrophobic or stressful situations. Professor Daniel Freedman explains, "After just 30 minutes of VR...there were large reductions in paranoia". As a sensory stimulator, carers say Alzheimer sufferers enjoy reduced agitation when using the therapy. Trialed in 50 US hospitals, it has also become a key tool in treating soldiers with PTSD

The advent of eHospital software represents a remarkable leap in medical education, offering students an immersive virtual environment to hone critical skills and prepare for careers in healthcare. Its impact, which proved invaluable during the pandemic, is poised to persist beyond in-person classes' resumption.  This innovative approach not only bridges the gap between theory and practice but also highlights the transformative potential of technology in medical education.

VIRTUAL REALITY MAKING HOSPITAL LESS SCARY FOR CHILDREN

VIRTUAL REALITY MAKING HOSPITAL LESS SCARY FOR CHILDREN | Simulation in Health Sciences Education | Scoop.it

A hospital visit for the young ones is a scary prospect and it’s often not the procedure itself they fear. Studies have shown that kids worry about being separated from their loved ones and are frightened about what they will encounter during their time in hospital. As many as 2 in 3 kids will suffer from anxiety which can manifest in many ways including sleep disturbance, uncharacteristic behaviour and even depression. The more prepared kids are for their procedures the easier it is and VRemedies helps patients get ready for their visit in a fun, informative and interesting way. 

Using a virtual reality headset, child patients are given their own private preview of what to expect during their hospital visit. A friendly robot guides sick children through procedures such as radiation therapy, theatre – from pre-operation to recovery - MRI and CT scans and X-Ray. Because of its video game-like format and use of technology that is familiar and unthreatening to young people, VRemedies can help make upcoming visits considerably less daunting. Virtual reality technology allows children to be introduced to doctors and other medical professionals plus they can see and hear the clinical equipment and machines they will encounter on the day of their treatment. The robot goes through the procedure first so the child can watch and then they are encouraged to participate themselves.

Virtual reality could expand therapy options in remote areas. By @Shiva_pedram_ | Simulation in Health Sciences Education | Scoop.it
In recent years, experts have focused on finding better ways to improve remotely delivered mental health care.

Now, virtual reality (VR) may pave the way for myriad new opportunities.

Using VR for remote therapy involves conducting “face-to-face” sessions in a virtual environment. This mode of treatment could make counselling more accessible to those living and working remotely.

My colleagues and I published a paper exploring VR’s potential in providing counselling for people in regional areas.

While face-to-face therapy remains the optimal treatment method, we discovered VR-based therapy was more effective than Skype-based counselling.

There are many other ways in which AR can be utilized in schools, universities, and in e-learning. AR could work with other technologies like VR to create something known as mixed reality. The real world is only a starting point from which exploration begins. The sky is the limit, both when it comes to topics that can be explored in AR settings and the demonstrations or knowledge presentations that can be crafted through the use of the technology.
