– XRHealth announced it will provide Israel\u2019s Sheba Medical Center\u2019s Coronavirus patients in quarantine with virtual reality telehealth services.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The XRHealth platform will provide relief from isolation, stress, and anxiety for those quarantined at Sheba for possible Coronavirus exposure. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u00a0XRHealth<\/a>, a Boston, MA-based provider of extended reality and therapeutic applications, today announced it will be providing virtual reality (VR)<\/a> telehealth<\/a> services to the Sheba Medical Center<\/a> in Israel to help the hospital treat incoming\u00a0coronavirus-exposed\u00a0patients\u00a0quarantined at the hospital and, eventually, to monitor them after they return home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRHealth will be providing VR headsets that are set up with the company\u2019s specialized extended reality technology solutions and data analysis. These headsets will also include apps that will allow patients to take virtual tours of numerous geographical destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combatting\nthe Coronavirus Outbreak with VR Telehealth Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"XRHealth<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As part of\nthe partnership, Sheba will be using telemedicine as the primary means of\ninteracting and treating the group of Israelis on site. Those who have had exposure\nwith the COVID-19 virus will be grouped in a special quarantined area on campus.\nUtilizing multiple technologies, including the VR headsets,\nSheba staff will be able to continuously monitor those quarantined while having very limited physical\ninteraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ability to strap on a headset, lay back, relax and virtually visit any location they want will help patients to remain connected with the world and cope with feelings of isolation while being quarantined,\u201d said Eran Orr, CEO of XRHealth, the first certified \u201cextended reality\u201d medical company in the world. \u201cOur VR treatment platform also has programs that assist in working though stress and anxiety, which obviously are also prominent concerns for those being treated for coronavirus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Sheba\nMedical Center has publicly embraced telemedicine in the past to treat patients remotely. Late last year, Sheba announced a partnership\nwith XRHealth to establish the first fully VR-based hospital, utilizing XRHealth\u2019s technology throughout each\ndepartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

XRHealth<\/strong> Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRHealth recently became the first company to set up virtual\nreality telehealth clinics in the United States. Certified VR telehealth clinicians are providing care in ten states\nwith additional states coming on board in the coming months. XRHealth utilizes the power of virtual reality to rehabilitate patients via an immersive and engaging experience in the comfort\nof their own home. XRHealth combines therapeutic software with VR technology solutions that can treat a variety of health\nconditions. VR therapy transports patients to an\nenvironment where they can view and experience treatment as a fun activity,\nincreasing patient participation in prescribed therapeutic treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
