New Trend: VR in Medical Training

Published Date: August 27, 2024

Virtual reality technology is rapidly transforming the landscape of medical training. With the aging population and the rising demand for efficient and cost-effective healthcare services, controlling the cost of medical training has become a critical challenge for the industry, directly impacting overall healthcare pricing. VR-based simulated medical training offers an innovative and effective solution, significantly reducing training expenses while greatly enhancing efficiency and professional standards, driving progress in the healthcare sector.

A comparative study reveals that healthcare professionals trained with VR have a significantly lower error rate during surgical procedures, decreasing to one-sixth of that of those without VR training, thereby directly improving the quality of patient care. Additionally, VR training substantially reduces resource consumption, allowing medical institutions to train more healthcare professionals despite limited financial and human resources, meeting the ever-growing market demands.

While Europe and the United States have accumulated years of experience and introduced well-established products, the Asian market still holds immense growth potential to be tapped. Vismed aspires to leverage cutting-edge technologies to further enhance the realism and effectiveness of simulated medical training, fill market gaps, and promote innovation and widespread application.
