Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT) are one of the facilitators that enhance knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals. However, organising a face-to-face (MDT) meeting for the discussion of patient treatment plans can be time-consuming. Virtual reality software is widely used in healthcare nowadays to save their time and protect life. Therefore, the use of virtual reality multidisciplinary team meeting (VR MDT) software may help enhance knowledge sharing between healthcare professionals and make meetings more efficient.

Delivering high-quality prehospital emergency care remains challenging, especially in resource-limited settings where real-time clinical decision support (CDS) is limited. Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as a promising healthcare technology, offering potential solutions to enhance decision-making, care processes, and EMS training.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool in health promotion and prevention psychology. Its ability to create immersive, engaging, and standardized environments offers unique opportunities for interventions and assessments. However, the scope of VR applications in this field remains unclear. Objectives: This scoping review aims to identify and map the applications of VR in health promotion and prevention psychology, focusing on its uses, outcomes, and challenges.

Virtual reality (VR) is a type of extended reality (XR) technology seeing increasing adoption in healthcare. There is robust evidence articulating how consumer-grade VR presents significant cyber security and privacy risks due to the often ubiquitous and wide-range of data collection and user monitoring, as well as the unique user impact of attacks due to the immersive nature of the technology. However, little is known about how these risks translate in the use of VR systems in healthcare settings.

Physical activity interventions for people with dementia have shown promising effects in improving cognition and physical function or slowing disease-related decline. Immersive virtual reality (iVR), using head-mounted displays, facilitates realistic experiences by blurring the boundaries between VR and the real world. The use of iVR for people with dementia offers the potential to increase active time and improve dementia therapy and care through exercise interventions. However, the feasibility of using VR use in people with dementia, considering changes in motor, cognitive, psychological, and physiological parameters, remains insufficiently investigated.
