Dozens of hospitals and health systems across the country are using Meta's virtual reality headsets to train clinicians on complex procedures, CNBC reported Sept. 9.
Kettering Health Dayton (Ohio) has a designated virtual reality lab where clinicians and residents can use the Meta Quest 2 headset to walk through simulations of complicated surgeries. Residents can also take the headset home for more practice.
Meta is looking to launch the Quest 3 headset as soon as next month. Apple is also preparing to break into virtual reality with its Vision Pro headset expected to debut next year.
Los Angeles-based Cedars-Sinai intends to use the technology to provide relief to patients with gastrointestinal issues, anxiety, addiction and premenopausal conditions, according to the report.
