VR for industry:
Healthcare
Virtual reality is redefining what’s possible in medicine. From training surgeons to helping patients manage chronic pain, VR has quickly become one of the most impactful technologies in modern healthcare.
Case study example
A regional hospital in Queensland uses VR to train junior doctors in emergency interventions such as intubation and chest drain insertion. Without needing real patients or high-cost simulators, staff can practise high-pressure scenarios again and again—building confidence and competence in a low-risk setting.
Why it works in VR
Healthcare requires a blend of technical skill, clinical judgement and empathy—often developed under pressure. VR offers a repeatable, immersive environment to build these qualities safely, with rich sensory feedback that textbooks can’t replicate.
What’s next
Integration of haptic gloves and surgical instruments
Real-time feedback and scoring powered by AI
VR-powered telehealth clinics
Broader adoption in pain and neuro-rehabilitation
Greater accessibility for ageing and remote populations
Use cases
Medical training: Students and junior doctors practise complex procedures in lifelike simulations before operating on real patients.
Surgical simulation: High-fidelity environments allow surgeons to rehearse rare or complex surgeries with realistic feedback.
Patient therapy: VR is used in exposure therapy for phobias, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. It also assists in physical rehabilitation and pain management.
Health education: VR helps patients understand diagnoses and procedures with visual walkthroughs.
Remote consultations: VR platforms are beginning to support immersive, spatial telehealth interactions.
Key benefits
Risk-free learning
Accelerated skill development
Improved patient outcomes
Enhanced therapy engagement
Reduced costs for training and resources
Challenges VR helps solve
Lack of access to live training scenarios
High cost and risk of traditional training
Poor patient engagement with conventional therapies
Geographic barriers to healthcare education and mentorship
What we can do for you
Using today’s hardware and software capabilities, we can deliver healthcare-focused VR products such as:
Custom surgical or procedural training simulations for medical schools and hospitals
Patient education tools that walk through treatments or diagnoses in 3D
VR therapy environments for anxiety, PTSD, or rehabilitation
Portable headset setups for rural or remote deployment
Multi-user clinician training with analytics and feedback
Safe-space simulations for preparing patients (e.g. children) for surgery
All of our experiences are designed for ease of deployment, intuitive use, and long-term maintainability—whether for a large urban hospital or a single-room clinic in the field.
