Used in over 200 hospitals and healthcare units, medical and therapeutic VR has shown amazing results for a range of conditions.
At the Dutch healthcare facility Heeren Loo, which houses 100,000 residents, medical staff undertook a virtual therapies study with a group of 55 residents with learning disabilities, suffering from very high-stress levels. 82% showed and reported a considerable improvement after experiencing the Dolphin Swim Club VR on a regular base.
“Project Braveheart”, was conducted by doctors at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. A total of 40 patients, awaiting treatment for congenital heart diseases took part, using VR goggles to follow a tour guiding them along the exact path that they’d take on the day of their procedure.
Results showed that they felt less stressed.
Patients a Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, led by the local university, were given VR headsets so they could immerse themselves in a scenario far from the clinical environment. Many claimed that with the VR distraction, they felt less pain when having bandages changed.
