VR. e-therapies.
New technology is changing the way we think about the delivery of psychiatric services. But new isn’t necessarily better. Can care really be transformed? What does the literature say?
VR: more than just a presidential photo op?
In a two-part Reading of the Week series, we look at technology and psychiatry.
This week, Virtual Reality.
Next week, e-therapies.
This week, we consider a new paper that looks at virtual reality to treat pain in hospitalized patients. The authors find that people utilizing VR have less pain as compared to controls. This finding leads us to another recent paper on VR; in this second study, patients with social anxiety are treated with a VR intervention.
