Virtual reality therapy is revolutionizing pain management by offering painiacs non-invasive and non-addictive ways to effectively manage pain. Today, I’m talking with Josh Sackman, President and Co-Founder of Applied VR, about the new app Ease VR. Josh has been featured in Wired, Forbes and MIT Technology Review and has spoken at international conferences such as South by Southwest and Health 2.0, as well as The White House about the use of virtual reality technology in healthcare. AppliedVR is the recognized leader in therapeutic VR, with a clinically validated solution that has launched in over 225 hospitals across the US and in 8 countries worldwide. The folks at Applied VR are working to change pain management so that patients have access to safer, more engaging, and effective digital tools that reduce suffering. LINKS TO LEARN MORE:
