How virtual reality is changing healthcare
As healthcare changes, we find out how virtual reality is being used to improve how we treat conditions and make training for doctors and nurses across the world more accessible.
By 2024, virtual reality is expected to reach a value of $1.2bn in the healthcare sector alone 鈥� and it鈥檚 already seeing adoption in major public healthcare bodies like the UK鈥檚 National Health Service. But many private businesses are the ones leading the change and working closely with hospitals, universities and pharmaceutical giants.
We speak three businesses in three different parts of the world to find out what they鈥檙e doing to change healthcare. We hear from Matthew Wordley, CEO of the Wales-based company Rescape Innovation, Vini Gusmao, who leads the Brazillian company Medroom, and also speak to Kensuke Joji, CEO of Jolly Good VR, based in Japan.
