Austria: Use of Virtual Reality in Hospital
Virtual Reality glasses are used for the little patient Valentina in the hospital Barmherzige Schwerstern in Ried/Austria.
Valentina is abducted into dream worlds via Virtual Reality (VR) while the doctors perform a hand operation. In contrast to the use of HoloLens by PHILIPS, this is a completely different scenario of VR in medicine.
Mr. Florian Stummer from the University of Linz, who supervises the use, calls it a smart innovation with empathy. I can only agree with him!
