Description

Strategic Intelligence: Virtual Reality in Medical (2025)

Summary

VR is becoming increasingly popular in the medical industry, and has the ability to transform the industry in several ways. VR allows surgeons and medical professionals to practice procedures in a risk-free, immersive environment, enhancing skills and improving patient outcomes without needing real-life cadavers or patients. Additionally, VR can help engineers and designers visualize and interact with medical device prototypes before physical manufacturing, which can speed up design iterations, reduce costs, and improve usability testing. In regards to patient treatment and therapies, VR is used in physical therapy and pain management, helping patients recover from injuries or manage chronic pain through immersive exercises and distraction techniques.

Scope
  • Virtual reality (VR) has several applications in medical, and is becoming increasingly popular.
  • VR can be used for medical training, device testing, and patient care, among other applications.
  • While it is beneficial, there are some challenges to overcome, including cost.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the various ways VR can be used, how it can benefit several parts of the medical industry, and the challenges associated with it.
  • Understand what the future of VR looks like, and how it can further advance several therapy areas in medical.
  • Learn about what companies are doing in the VR space, and what companies to watch.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
