Improving care delivery with immersive technology
The VA is working to improve care delivery with immersive technology. A program called VA Immersive is implementing this technology across VA facilities. Immersive technology, such as virtual reality headsets, can be used in various clinical specialties.
This technology has several potential uses, including neurological risk assessment and pain management. It can also be used to treat anxiety and PTSD, as well as aid in addiction recovery and physical therapy. Further details about the VA Immersive program and its uses are available from the source.
The program is part of the VA's efforts to enhance Veteran care and improve their experience.
