Virtual Reality in Healthcare

‍

The presentation will address a question that

has become central to Dr. Ferrer Costa’s work:

what does it take to move immersive

technologies beyond successful clinical pilots

and integrate them into routine healthcare

practice?

Since 2015, Dr. Ferrer Costa’s research has

focused on primary care and expanding the

application of Virtual Reality in healthcare

professional education and mental health. His

current projects include developing educational

programs that utilize VR for clinical skills

training, chronic pain management, and mental

health therapies, aimed at enhancing

healthcare delivery and training, reducing

practitioner burnout, and improving patient

outcomes across multiple domains.
