Notes:
Virtual reality (VR) treatments for health and wellness refer to the use of virtual reality technology to provide therapeutic benefits to individuals. VR treatments can be used to address a wide range of health and wellness concerns, including physical rehabilitation, mental health issues, and chronic pain management.
VR treatments typically involve the use of VR headsets or other hardware to create immersive virtual environments that users can interact with. These virtual environments may be used to provide a variety of different types of therapeutic experiences, such as relaxation, meditation, or exposure therapy.
VR treatments can offer a number of benefits, such as increasing access to care for individuals in remote or underserved areas, providing a safe and controlled environment for therapy, and promoting the development of coping skills and other therapeutic skills. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and limitations of VR treatments, such as the potential for motion sickness or other side effects, and the need for appropriate safeguards to ensure patient safety and well-being.
Virtual reality (VR) therapy is a type of digital medicine, which refers to the use of digital technologies, such as the Internet, mobile devices, and wearable devices, to deliver healthcare services and support. Digital medicine includes a wide range of approaches and technologies, including telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth (mobile health), and eHealth (electronic health).
VR therapy is a specific type of digital medicine that involves the use of VR technology to provide therapeutic benefits to individuals.
