It's been two weeks since our last news digest, and the digital world continues to move along at hyperspeed, or so it seems when the needs for adaptation and transformation are so great. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of communication in this remote landscape where we all really need to connect. This need to connect is not just between workmates, family, friends, but also between doctors and patients, as well as doctors to doctors. The health field has long been a proponent of using virtual reality and it’s now coming into maximum effect.

CNN reports that  VR is being used in the US and other countries to facilitate medical training in real-life simulations like fast evaluations of a patient’s symptoms and from correctly donning PPE to wearing it to perform regular procedures. All while socially distancing. 

"One simulation puts the user alone in an isolation room, where they can see nurses and doctors come in and out, says the founder of Virti, one of the different programs being used a Cedars-Sinai hospitals in Los Angeles, “(and this way) they can get an idea of how scary it is for patients. It's easy to forget the basics of communicating through the masks, so scenarios like this help with bedside manner."
