Notes:
Clinical virtual reality (Clinical VR) refers to the use of virtual reality technology in a clinical setting to diagnose, treat or rehabilitate patients. Clinical VR is an emerging field that has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by providing patients with immersive, interactive experiences that can be used to improve their physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.
Virtual Patient Simulation (VPS) is a form of clinical virtual reality (VR) that uses computer-generated simulations to create virtual patients with realistic symptoms, conditions, and responses to treatments. This technology allows healthcare professionals to practice and improve their diagnostic, therapeutic, and communication skills in a safe, controlled environment.
VPS can simulate a wide range of clinical scenarios, such as medical emergencies, routine check-ups, and complex surgeries. These simulations can include virtual patients with realistic physiology, physiology, and other medical conditions, as well as virtual environments that mimic real-world settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and emergency departments.
Some examples of the use of VPS include:
- Using VPS to train medical students and residents in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions
- Using VPS to train nurses and other healthcare professionals in patient communication and care
- Using VPS to train emergency responders and first responders in handling medical emergencies
- Using VPS to evaluate the performance of healthcare professionals and identify areas for improvement
- Using VPS to research the effectiveness of different diagnostic and treatment strategies.
VPS can be used in different settings, such as medical schools, hospitals, and research centers. It can also be used in both pre-licensure and continuing education for healthcare professionals. The technology is still developing and it is being studied for its effectiveness in training healthcare professionals and improving patient outcomes.
The references below mentions that VPS can simulate a wide range of clinical scenarios, such as medical emergencies, routine check-ups, and complex surgeries, and can be used to train medical students, residents, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. It also mentions that VPS can be used to evaluate the performance of healthcare professionals, to research the effectiveness of different diagnostic and treatment strategies, and to foster emotional connections between learners and virtual patients. The text also highlights the use of VPS in the training of interpersonal skills, as well as the use of VPS to improve self-efficacy and diagnostic accuracy for common behavioral health concerns. Additionally, the text also mentions the use of VPS in dental surgery planning, prosthetic design and in clinical trials.
