How virtual reality applies to healthcare

"We're already using virtual and extended reality technologies as a tool for procedural support, it reduces the anxiety or distract during mild to moderately painful procedures." For example, some cancer patients need a procedure called a lumbar puncture, where medicine is injected into the spinal fluid. It's moderately painful. Most adults get it awake, but because it can be distressing for children, patients at Children's Colorado almost always get it asleep.

But going under anesthesia isn't easy. Patients fast for eight hours beforehand, and the anesthesia requires more prep time and staff than the lumbar puncture itself. With the recovery time afterward, a 20-minute procedure can eat up a whole day.

Using virtual reality as a calming distraction, several patients are now getting lumbar punctures awake. Everyone has been enthusiastic using it!  - James Thomas, MD. Pediatric Anesthesiologist
