The importance of virtual reality (VR) in healthcare is growing — the focus is shifting from gaming technology to its use as a tool for therapeutic applications in everyday clinical practice.
In the Bayern Innovativ podcast, Dr. Tanja Jovanovic (Bayern Innovativ GmbH) and Martin Koppehele (Co-CEO of Magic Horizons GmbH) discuss the use of immersive technologies to support patients, particularly in situations involving pain, anxiety, and stress in clinical settings.
The central topic is how digital, non-pharmacological methods can enhance clinical processes. Innovative applications of particular importance include:
- preoperative patient sedation
- reducing anxiety and stress in hospitals
- support in pain management
- psychological relief in rehabilitation settings
- improving the patient experience in the hospital
The podcast highlights that medical virtual reality is gaining importance within modern care approaches — not as a replacement, but as a complementary intervention.
