Virtual Reality (VR) is being used in healthcare training to revolutionize the industry. VR training boosted surgical performance by
230%. One institution supporting the tech revolution is George Washington University, which uses VR for neurosurgery and thoracic surgery training. Surgeons can examine the brain of a patient virtually before performing the surgery. Additionally, VR can be applied to increase empathy, diminish pain, enhance physical therapy treatments, improve memory and cognitive functions, and treat mental health. VR is rapidly advancing and stands to transform many industries, including healthcare, and benefit society. The established book,
