Reading 08

Introduction:

As we are seeing more and more now days, its fair to say that we are heading into a new dawn of technology. We are seeing technology really evolve so far even in just the last 10 years alone. For example it used to be this mad conspiracy that we would some day have self driving cars, yet here we are today and Tesla has given us the opportunity to do just that. Its the same with VR/AR Technology. In the field of medicine, particularly rehabilitation it used to be all "In House" as such, all done with physical tests and objects and monitored down on a notebook. where's today through the advancements of technology we are now seeing rehabilitation programs taking advantage of this and are now using "Virtual Spaces" to conduct their programs.

Conclusion:

Conclusion on VR/AR Technologies being used for rehabilitation purposes is this. I think that its a great idea and its amazing that its been going on some 20+ years and will continue to improve as technology develops. What I really like about it is, how well adaptable it all is depending on the patients needs. The freedom to have a clinic set up somewhere, or simply having a setup in the patients house even. Aswell as that the technology allows for fully unique scenarios depending on the patients needs. So this can help a lot if some clinics might not be able to "Physically" cater to all patients.
