Virtual reality technology for the clinician

Summary form only given. Virtual reality technology has progressed substantially in recent years, with system costs diminishing. Adoption has been mixed, and sometimes without a strong body of research, which certainly poses safety risks for the patient and professional challenges for the clinician. While building a strong body of data that would lead to “best practices” will take time, this Workshop can assist by giving a broad and unbiased coverage of the technology and predicting trends for the future. Practical issues with adoption will also be discussed, as well as cost considerations.
