VR is helping to make daunting medical treatments more bearable for patients
78% Informative
In a new study, 90 patients were given VR headsets for a 12-minute session at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center’s infusion clinic in Nashville .
Patients in the VR group were shown narrated tours of places such as Venice , Agra and the Ecuadorian Amazon.
The results of the study were published recently in the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing .
The findings suggest VR could be an effective and accessible distraction tool for patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy.
Even if patients don’t bring their own devices, for a clinic, the cost of entry is low, “a few hundred bucks to get started,” Stansel said.
