# Virtual Medical Patient Experiences SimforHealth Will Debut Its Doctor-Training VR at CES 2017 By Joey Haar | Published 2017-01-03 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simforhealth References: [simforhealth.fr](http://simforhealth.fr/en/our-solutions/) SimforHealth, a French medical technology startup, is bringing a new virtual solution for the healthcare industry to CES 2017. The company has created a method for training doctors using virtual reality, putting them through the experience of dealing with a patient before having to approach that experience in the real world. SimforHealth's first ever virtual medical patient will deal with a case study in pneumology. Naturally, such a focus is only for the sake of the prototype; the hope is that SimforHealth's VR medical training will be popular and successful enough to eventually include scenarios for a host of diseases and ailments. The pneumology scenario was developed with the help of the University Hospital in Nice's Center for Medical Simulation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Education](https://www.trendhunter.com/education) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Medical Training:** SimforHealth is pioneering the use of virtual reality technology to train doctors, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in a simulated environment. - **Virtual Patient Experiences:** SimforHealth's virtual medical patient experiences provide doctors with a realistic and immersive learning tool, enhancing their abilities to diagnose and treat patients. - **Simulation-based Medical Education:** SimforHealth's virtual reality solutions are revolutionizing medical education by providing doctors with a safe and controlled environment to practice and refine their skills. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare Technology:** The integration of virtual reality technology in medical training has the potential to transform the healthcare industry, offering more efficient and effective learning opportunities for healthcare professionals. - **Medical Simulation:** SimforHealth's virtual medical training solutions can disrupt the traditional medical simulation industry by offering a more immersive and interactive experience for medical students and professionals. - **Medical Education:** The application of virtual reality in medical education presents disruptive innovation opportunities, allowing for more engaging and realistic training experiences that can greatly enhance medical students' learning outcomes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virtual Reality Medical Training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simx.md) - [Spatial Computing-Powered Training Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/injection-simulator.md) - [VR-Based Pain Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smileyscope.md) - [Metaverse Treatment Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xrhealth.md) - [VR-Powered Therapeutic Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrpowered-therapeutic-treatments.md) - [Gamified VR Therapy Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/behavr.md) - [Back Pain-Focused VR Therapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appliedvr.md) - [Healing VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healing-vr-experiences.md) - [AR-Enabled Heart Modelling Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-leap-2.md)
