PatientVR wows audience with virtual reality at Our Community Cares event

An event filled with “wows,” smiles, and plenty of praise was exactly what our team experienced when attendees got their first glimpse of what virtual reality with PatientVR can feel like.

“Nine out of ten people we meet have never experienced VR before, and witnessing their reactions puts huge smiles on their faces, which makes our team all the more excited,” says Mike Vasavada, Director of Mobiddiction.

Virtual reality (VR) is transforming patient care in hospital settings, and PatientVR is helping lead the way with immersive experiences designed to distract patients from pain, ease anxiety before procedures, and provide therapeutic support in a non-invasive way.

By creating a calming environment, VR can improve overall patient well-being and may even support faster recovery times. PatientVR is at the forefront of this innovation, delivering tailored VR experiences specifically designed for healthcare environments. What sets PatientVR apart is its patient-centred approach, which incorporates feedback from healthcare professionals and patients to continually refine and adapt the experience to meet the unique needs of hospital settings.

Kris Gauci, founder of Our Community Cares, chaired and opened the event with an inspiring overview of OCC’s initiatives over the past year, as well as upcoming programs supporting the Nepean region through activities that benefit the local community, healthcare facilities, and hospitals. OCC is supported by local businesses and community members who help raise awareness and run fundraising activities throughout the year.

Mobiddiction is proud to support Our Community Cares as one of our valued community partners, doing such wonderful work across the Penrith and Nepean region. The PatientVR team was there to support the event and showcase our virtual reality platform. Thank you to Kris Gauci and her wonderful team at Our Community Cares Penrith, as well as Nepean Hospital guests Maryann Ciccone and Dr Cindy Hastings from the Nepean Blue Mountains LHD for their support.
