Virtual Reality Gains Traction in Mental Health Care

VR is gaining steam in the medical community, amongst mental health professionals and as a supplement to medication-based treatment. Early results are incredibly promising; adapting proven therapy techniques to virtual reality seems to be an obvious starting point with huge upside. The trick will be getting so-called digital medicine approved as a legit form of care by regulators and insurance companies.

Until health care providers are able to bill insurers for VR-based treatments, so-called digital medicine will only be a option for those with deep pockets and/or access to practitioners willing to treat people for free.
