Virtual Reality to be Used in Heart Repairs

Trials of an early version of the technology, which only used ultrasound scans of the heart to create the VR heart, found that surgeons preferred it for understanding the anatomy of their patient’s hearts. It is hoped that by giving surgeons a better understanding of this and offering them an opportunity to practise and perfect operations, this technology will also help to improve the experiences of thousands of patients and their families each year. The method uses a number of scans that are routinely used to plan surgery to create a three-dimensional, beating digital double of the heart. Do you think that Virtual reality will negatively impact human health?
