We’ve all heard about the progress VR is making in healthcare, but that was never more clear than when we stopped by the HTC VIVE booth at the HIMSS annual conference this year. While there we had a chance to talk with Dan O’Brien, GM Americas at HTC VIVE, and he introduced us to some of the healthcare partners that were developing healthcare applications for their VR and AR devices. These applications included: VR surgical models, helping the aging process, VR Therapy, a radiology reading room in VR, and immersive VR to replace anesthesia.
Check out the video demo below to learn more about the healthcare VR solutions from the following companies we saw at the HTC VIVE booth:
- Sean Copeland, Director of XR Programs at Surgical Theater
