This week we explore Virtual Reality (VR) and how VR can be incorporated into palliative care with studies documenting people reporting effectiveness in pain and symptom management and its psychological impact. VR can provide people with meaningful and uplifting experiences, thereby enhancing their emotional well-being, improving emotional state by fostering social connections and boosting self-esteem.

VR can transform the experiences of people at the end-of-life, providing them with comfort, support, and meaningful engagement during their final stages. The immersive and interactive nature of VR allows people to experience moments of joy, relief, and connection, which are crucial for emotional well-being. https://bit.ly/4czbiU6
