Emergency departments are high-stress, high-intensity environments where patients often experience acute pain, anxiety and long waiting periods. Effective distraction and pain-management tools can make an immediate difference to patient comfort and overall care experience.
PatientVR provides a calming, clinically informed virtual reality experience designed to reduce stress, ease pain perception, and support positive distraction. By immersing patients in soothing, interactive environments, PatientVR helps shift focus away from discomfort, allowing clinicians to perform assessments or procedures with less distress and greater patient cooperation.
For emergency teams, this means:
• A practical, non-pharmacological tool to support pain, phobia and anxiety management
• A more settled, reassured patient during treatment or long wait times using distraction techniques
• A faster way to deliver comfort, especially when medication isn’t the first option and there are long wait times involved
• Positivity and support for patient well-being (and their families) in one of the most challenging stages of their healthcare journey
PatientVR integrates seamlessly into ED workflows, offering quick deployment, no controllers, and experiences crafted specifically for young patients. It helps transform moments of fear and discomfort into moments of calm – right when patients need it most.
