Leveraging Psychology and Brain Science to Optimize Retention and Behavior Change

The Brain Science of Healthcare Patient and Provider Satisfaction and Why VR Provides an Ideal Solution

VR experience is compelling and realistic. The patient feels a sense of “presence,” a sense that he was actually there meeting actual people.

The Brain Science of Patient Satisfaction and Why VR Provides an Ideal Solution

A closer look at how AR and VR are being used in healthcare training.

How xR Technologies Will Accelerate Healthcare Training

This webcast focuses on the relationship between healthcare education and training and patient and provider satisfaction. We argue that high-quality training for patients and providers is synergistic, leading to mutual understanding and empathy, a strong working relationship that benefits both parties, and enhanced patient and provider satisfaction. We evaluate traditional approaches to patient and provider training, usually text-based, from a learning science perspective—the marriage of psychology and brain science. We show that text-based healthcare training content targets one learning system in the brain, is generally ineffective, and is especially ineffective in children, older adults, and in stressful or anxiety-producing situations (common in healthcare).
Next, we explore virtual reality (VR) approaches to healthcare education and training. We show that VR training approaches incorporate a broad set of learning systems in the brain in synchrony, including learning systems that are less affected by age, stress, or anxiety. We conclude that immersive technologies, like VR, provide cost-effective, scalable high-quality educational training tools for healthcare patients and providers that enhance satisfaction and performance.
In this webcast, you will learn about:

the emerging technology of virtual reality as applied in healthcare
the psychology and brain science behind VR technology
the potential for this technology to revolutionize education and training for patients and providers
some current use cases of this technology.


 

Extended reality (XR) technologies come in two major forms: virtual reality (VR), in which the learner is immersed in a virtual environment, and augmented reality (AR), in which the learner is in a combined real and virtual environment. The learning science—the marriage of psychology and brain science—is clear: XR technologies have the potential to provide cheaper and more effective healthcare training than traditional approaches. In this webcast, we’ll review the psychology and brain science of medical training and show how XR technologies reduce the cognitive load associated with learning and recruit learning systems in the brain that are not activated with traditional healthcare training. Taken together, this speeds learning and strengthens the memory for learned information.
In this webcast you will learn about:

the emerging technologies of virtual and augmented reality
the psychology and brain science behind these technologies
the potential for these technologies to revolutionize medical training
some current use cases of these technologies.
