Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is hosting a conference of experts in therapeutic use of virtual reality and how it is transforming health care on Friday, Oct. 1 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
And fittingly, this VR conference will be held virtually online. The daylong conference is designed for physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and community members, and is free to attend.<\/p>\n
A preview of the new Hoag Center for Advanced Visualization and Immersive Therapeutics will be presented at this symposium.<\/p>\n
Hoag excels at advanced care delivery, moving the needle forward in how we take care of people, Dr. Robert Louis of Hoag said. In bringing together experts from around the world, we hope to share and learn from one another about how to think about VR development to improve the patient experience.<\/p>\n
