Meta's VR technology is gradually penetrating into the medical field, providing new possibilities for training doctors and treating patients. Doctors have recently used virtual reality (VR) devices to simulate surgeries in advance, a method that has proven to be more effective than traditional guidance. Many medical schools have even incorporated VR into their training courses. In addition, VR is also used to relieve pain by allowing patients to experience pain relief in an augmented reality environment.

Can assist with surgical simulation, but is still a niche application
In Dayton, Ohio, a doctor named Jake Shine practiced the indonesia telegram surgery with another attending physician through Meta Quest 2 before performing reverse total shoulder replacement (Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty). "Through this process, you can really fine-tune some steps and learn what to do," Shine said. In the end, the operation was successfully completed, and he even said that it was more efficient than asking the attending physician to provide guidance under real conditions.
"CNBC" reported that for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, consumer VR is not only expensive but also niche. Meta Reality Labs, which is responsible for VR, has suffered losses of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars since last year. But today’s case demonstrates its value in healthcare. Many medical schools are incorporating VR into their training. Kettering Health Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, recently made VR a required component of its first-year orthopedic residency curriculum.
