| description | Virtual Reality (VR) is standing out against the world of healthcare and it has accelerated the field of rehabilitation therapy and medical training. Multifaceted research activities have been carried out to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of each AI-enabled medicine in the clinical service; yet, most studies come with limitations (e.g., the applications of these tools are only limited to specific medical fields, little emphasis on long-term effectiveness, and a lack of comparative studies of AI applications with traditional methods). This research aims to address these challenges by providing a novel, integrative framework for healthcare training and rehabilitation based on a multimodal and adaptive VR-based system. This includes the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), haptic feedback, and real-time biometric monitoring for immersive and effective applications. A comparative, objective analysis could be performed to evaluate the effectiveness, interest and affordability of the VR-based methods against the traditional rehabilitation and training methods. We will also explore the ways in which VR can be used for benefits beyond entertainment, including the effect that VR has on psychology and cognitive function/neuroplasticity. This study addresses the barriers to VR adoption and scalability, providing a framework and implications for widespread implementation in hospitals and medical institutions. To showcase the potential of cutting edge VR technologies to enhance medical education, lead to better patient recovery outcomes and sustain rehabilitation gains over time. |
