Virtual Reality is used in surgery, especially in more complicated tasks that require precision and skill. Virtual models of human anatomy and realistic virtual environments allow healthcare professionals to gain insight without working on a real human body. This is useful for both experienced professionals and students performing new, high-risk procedures.

Through medical training simulators, students test their knowledge and develop their skills by recreating situations in Virtual Reality. On the other hand, Virtual Reality training offers medical professionals the best online and practical training that allows them to provide uncompromising patient care. Ultimately, this results in fewer cases of negligence, which reduces liability insurance costs.

Medical products and machinery need to meet the needs of the patient and meet highly stringent requirements. Virtual Reality helps in the manufacturing of machinery to speed up the validation of designs. In this way, the functionality of the machine can be evaluated, as well as ergonomic assessments to ensure comfort and accessibility. All of this helps to perfect medical equipment before its production.
