SINGAPORE - Virtual reality has commonly been associated with gaming and entertainment, but it has also been making waves in hospitals and clinics across the world in recent years.
The global market for virtual reality in healthcare was valued at US$2.14 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach US$33.72 billion by 2027, according to a Verified Market Research report in July. All the participants reported that their overall hospital experience was improved by wearing the headset, while 94 per cent said they felt more relaxed.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Shamim Umarji, who led the study, said:"Many patients feel quite anxious about the prospect of being awake during surgery, so it's fantastic to see the positive impact virtual reality can have on the patient experience. As surgeons we occasionally lose sight of how daunting the operating theatre can be."
