The Toronto-based company partnered with [Boston Children's Hospital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heali) to develop a VR experience that will help children, undergoing medical procedures such as colonoscopies, better understand the immediacy of their condition and situation. Health Voyager uses the patient's clinical data and produces a virtual model of their insides. With the help of standard 3D goggles, kids can get a guided tour of their own anatomy. The [VR health experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-reality-therapy), provided by Klick Health's application, allow children to have some agency during diagnosis and procedures. Thus, Health Voyager fosters a certain respect for the little patient and eases the occasional emotional hardship, experienced by parents who are tasked with explaining a medical condition or procedure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Reality Healthcare:** Opportunity to develop more VR applications for healthcare to improve patient understanding and engagement. - **Personalized Medical Education:** Disruptive innovation potential in creating personalized educational experiences using VR technology in the medical field. - **Pediatric Healthcare Technology:** Exploring the use of technology, such as VR, to improve pediatric healthcare experiences and empower young patients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Opportunities for healthcare providers and developers to integrate VR technology into patient care and education. - **Education:** Potential to revolutionize medical education by incorporating VR-based interactive learning tools and experiences. - **Pediatric Healthcare:** Innovation possibilities within the pediatric healthcare sector to enhance patient understanding and emotional well-being through VR technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Healing VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healing-vr-experiences.md) - [VR-Powered Therapeutic Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrpowered-therapeutic-treatments.md) - [Virtual Medical Training Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara.md) - [Metaverse Treatment Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xrhealth.md) - [All Ages Therapeutic VR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-bahia.md) - [VR-Powered Therapy Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rey-1.md) - [Virtual Reality Insurance Consults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergo.md) - [Back Pain-Focused VR Therapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appliedvr.md) - [VR-Powered ADHD Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-eyetracking-game.md)
