Virtual Reality in Healthcare: Enhancement of Patient Care through a Smart Combination of Physical and Virtual Worlds
From the development of innovative life-saving techniques to next-gen training of doctors, virtual reality has a plethora of applications in the healthcare sector. Virtual reality is being used extensively in the medical sector to train and support healthcare professionals and enhance patient outcomes. Virtual reality is redefining the healthcare sector as it is helping the surgeons plan out their interventions and offer better care management and real-time care solutions to the patients.
VR in medical training
elevates the teaching and learning experience as virtual reality cameras allow
the surgeons to stream operations globally and allow the students to be present
in the OR through VR glasses. This allows them to practice and brush up on
their surgical techniques in a controlled environment. For instance,
students-in-training at Case Western Reserve University are taught medical
procedures and human anatomy using VR devices such as HoloLens. Another
research study showed that incorporating the VR technology into surgery
training boosted the performance of surgeons-in-training by 230%. It also
enhanced the speed and accuracy of surgical procedures.
The rising prevalence
of chronic healthcare conditions, neurological disorders, and the increasing
need for state-of-the-art healthcare facilities are driving the growth of the
market. The expansion of virtual reality in the healthcare market can be
accredited to the increasing demand for innovative diagnostic procedures and
advancements in the field of IT. Moreover, government initiatives and funding
to incorporate virtual reality technology in the healthcare segment, coupled
with the rapid deployment of these technologies, is boosting the growth of the
market. Additionally, the integration of VR tech in rehabilitation, surgery,
patient care management, pain management sessions, telesurgery, and
visualization of anatomy, among others, is propelling the growth of virtual
reality in the healthcare market.
The prominent players
of the market are Google, CAE Healthcare, Atheer, Oculus VR, Siemens
Healthineers, 3D Systems, Virtually Better, DAQRI, Psious, Mindmaze, Medical
Realities, Augmedix, Philips Healthcare, VirtaMed, and Firsthand Technology.
SyncThink, a leading neuro-technology company with expertise in eye-tracking devices, incorporates VR goggles to test for visual impairments. The company’s device, Eye-Sync, won a Breakthrough Device Designation award from the U.S. FDA. Osso VR, a virtual surgical training platform, closed recent financing round at USD 14 million in September 2020 to expand its surgical and medical device training virtual reality platform. Osso VR saw a massive surge in the adoption of its platform during the COVID-19 pandemic as medical device manufacturers and healthcare professionals turned towards remote monitoring tools that followed the social distancing norms.
