Medical students and healthcare professionals can repeatedly practice complex surgical procedures in a risk-free environment using VR simulations. This not only helps improve practical skills but also reduces error rates when dealing with real-life cases. Additionally, VR enables the exploration of anatomical structures in 3D, supporting deeper and more lasting theoretical learning.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In treatment, VR is effectively used for pain management, anxiety disorders, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Patients can undergo controlled exposure therapy in virtual environments, helping them reduce stress and achieve mental relaxation. In physical rehabilitation, VR-supported exercises increase patient motivation and accelerate the recovery process. In this way, VR holds a significant place in the future of healthcare technologies.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
