Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a significant tool in medical training and education. Specifically, there has been a major leap in innovation in surgical simulation and surgical real-time enhancement. [ 149 ]
Virtual reality is a comparable tool that allows learners to identify mental health symptoms, develop effective relationships and respond to mental health needs. [ 7 ] The following is a presentation titled “The Use of Immersive Virtual Reality to Enhance Mental Health Assessment Skills” which was presented at a Simulation Symposium.
The first group of these services is known as primary care services in the domain of digital health. These services include wireless medical devices that utilize technology such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, as well as applications on mobile devices that encourage the betterment of an individual's health as well as applications that promote overall general wellness.

The virtual reality simulator from the 2022 study, depicting (from left to right) fixed point hemostasis, peg transfer, picking beams and colon resection. VR technology has emerged as a potential tool for medical training, particularly due to the shortage of skilled surgeons.
Virtual reality therapy (VRT) was pioneered and originally termed by Max North documented by the first known publication (Virtual Environment and Psychological Disorders, Max M. North, and Sarah M. North, Electronic Journal of Virtual Culture, 2,4, July 1994), his doctoral VRT dissertation completion in 1995 (began in 1992), and followed with the first known published VRT book in 1996 (Virtual ...
Health technology is defined by the World Health Organization as the "application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives". [1]
The term virtual patient is used to describe interactive computer simulations used in health care education [1] to train students on clinical processes such as making diagnoses and therapeutic decisions. [2] Virtual patients attempt to combine modern technologies and game-based learning to facilitate education, and complement real clinical ...
The need for a "uniform mechanism to educate, evaluate, and certify simulation instructors for the health care profession" was recognized by McGaghie et al. in their critical review of simulation-based medical education research. [5] In 2012 the SSH piloted two new certifications to provide recognition to educators to meet this need. [6]
