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 team behind Osso VR, the VR surgical training platform, says that the software is now in use by more than 1,000 surgeons a month around the globe. The platform, which was created to provide surgeons with an immersive, repeatable environment to safely practice their craft, is now used by more than 20 teaching hospitals …

The Royal Women’s Hospital will be home to a new, in-situ simulation education initiative, following a generous $1.6 million grant from Gandel Philanthropy and an $800,000 grant from the Melbourne Medical School at the University of Melbourne.
In situ simulation is increasingly popular for all the right reasons – highly realistic training with opportunities for team and systems testing. We’ve recognized there are risks, especially disruption of service and physical safety. But what about those patient and families ‘exposed’ to ISS? What do they think about it? What are their risks? And what should we do about it? Are …
In this short article, we explore how using real medical equipment in simulations can better prepare your learners to manage a ventilated patient, monitor vital signs, and perform defibrillation.
Download Citation on ResearchGate | Self-Reflection of Video-Recorded High-Fidelity Simulations and Development of Clinical Judgment | Background: Nurse educators are increasingly using high-fidelity simulators to improve prelicensure nursing students' ability to develop clinical judgment. Traditionally, oral debriefing sessions have immediately followed the simulation scenarios as a method for student
Watch a team of physicians, nurses, and surgeons simulate a high-risk procedure, called ECMO, on a critically ill child during a training session at Boston Children’s Hospital. ECMO is a machine that temporarily takes over a child’s weakened heart and lungs, giving him or her time to heal. To increase the child’s chances of survival, the team has to make every moment count.
The study highlights the potential of new technologies to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, which affects more than 525,000 people in the UK. In 2014, Professor John O’Keefe of UCL was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for ‘discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain’. Essentially, this means
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.
Colorado State University has deployed a new VR lab; designed to accommodate up to 100 students simultaneously, the lab’s headsets run custom software which allow students to visualize life-sized virtual cadavers and medical imagery in a shared virtual space. The so-called Immersive Reality Training Lab lab is part of a new CSU facility called the Health …
As part of their education, nursing students at the University of Adelaide gain hands-on experience through life-like mannikins that display all the signs and responses of real people and actors employed as standardised patients who portray health problems.
The university’s state-of-the-art simulation lab, Adelaide Health Simulation (AHS), replicates hospital
The scene shows fish nibbling at a virtual arm to help distract from different needle-based procedures. So far staff have found the system to be effective and easy to use.
In order to meet the needs of modern-day learners, you need to deliver on their terms. In this article, we explore why virtual simulation, a method of treating patients via eLearning, might be the missing piece in your nursing curriculum.
