World of Virtual Reality (VR) in Healthcare

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Computational Intelligence Techniques for Virtual Reality in Healthcare

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 875))

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) technology is widely used in scientific, engineering and educational applications all over the world. The technology is also widely advancing day by day, but, the applications in medical fields are limited. Medical technology is one of the most advancing technologies which are evolving due to unlimited need of health requirement. Further, Computational Intelligence (CI) contributed much promising aspects of many healthcare practices such as treatment, disease diagnosis, direct follow-ups, rehabilitation setups, preventive measures and administrative management practices etc. Dental sciences have witnessed many developments. In many ways, VR based surgery practices are governed by computer assistance. The conjunction of these two technological aspects to a larger extent can solve various issues in modern healthcare systems. With the introduction of newer healthcare technology, the medical issues nevertheless happen to be overcome. Nevertheless the scope in this kind of study is boundless.
