Mobile-Enabled Virtual Reality Visualisation Improves Learning And Training In Health Care

Abstract

Working in the health care sector required high skill sets and intensive training. Emerging technologies with realistic visualisation and practical such as virtual reality (VR) are being applied to the training process of the health care practitioners. Many researches have done studies in virtual reality and its implementation in education, more specifically in learning and training of a certain skill and enhancing user learning experiences. However, these studies usually remained in the development or research stage and have not widely implemented in real-life training due to various reasons. This research aims to review the effectiveness of virtual reality in the health care sector, its current solutions to the problem within different areas and analyse different VR research processes to encourage more practical implementation of VR. A literature review was performed to review 15 papers that implemented VR technology in learning and training skill for healthcare practitioners, rehabilitation and diagnoses as well as other aspects of virtual reality that can be considered within the health care sector.
