ANSI/DSI VRST1.1 (2020) : Usage of Therapeutic Virtual Reality for Anxiety Reduction In Healthcare

ANSI/DSI VRST1.1 address the opportunity that Therapeutic Virtual Reality (TVR) presents, as it has been proven to be effective in treating many cases of anxiety in healthcare. This Standard addresses many concerns that can occur if TVR is applied incorrectly, including TVR’s potential to lead to patients getting exposed to nausea-inducing content. Another concern that this Standard directly addresses is the fact that seemingly innocuous content, when displayed in Virtual Reality can also be shocking to which also can have a negative effect on the quality of care. Additionally, infection control protocols for TVR are described.
