Abstract
Virtual reality system and method improve clinical outcomes. The virtual reality system includes a virtual display device capable of providing virtual reality images to a patient; one or more actuators capable of providing physical experience to the patient; and a controller. The controller is capable of: automatically selecting a treatment model based upon one or both of (a) a received identity of a medical treatment applied to the patient and (b) a received identity of a targeted disease of the patient; and coordinating the virtual display device and the one or more actuators to provide a synchronized immersive virtual reality environment for the patient to experience based upon the treatment model.
