Spintex Medical Center pioneers first VRT for medical treatment

A top-class healthcare facility, Spintex Medical Center, heralds a new era in healthcare delivery with the launch of its cutting-edge Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) treatment system. This groundbreaking system is designed to revolutionise stroke rehabilitation, pain management, palliative care and stress relief.

Through the use of motion-sensing VR headsets, patients are transported to novel and emotionally enriching environments, offering a refreshing departure from traditional treatment methods.

Virtual reality therapy (VRT) uses specially programmed computers, visual immersion devices and artificially created environments to give the patient a simulated experience that can be used to diagnose and treat psychological conditions that cause difficulties for patients.

Harnessing the power of VR technology, the Spintex Medical Center aims to redefine patient care by providing immersive, realistic and three-dimensional experiences.

Chief Executive Officer of Spintex Medical Center, Dr. William S.K Anarfi, emphasised the transformative potential of VR therapy, stating: “Our VR devices provide patients with a unique opportunity to escape the confines of their hospital room and embark on a journey of healing and relaxation”.

As the first hospital in Africa to introduce state-of-the-art virtual reality systems, Spintex Medical Center leads the way in utilising cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care. The immersive experiences offered by VR therapy have been shown to accelerate healing, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being.

Doctors at the Spintex Medical Center have observed remarkable results from patients undergoing VR therapy. Moments of cognitive and physiologic immersion signify the profound impact of VR on patients’ well-being, with many experiencing significant reductions in pain and stress.

Patient testimonials further underscore the transformative effects of VR therapy, with individuals reporting relief from acute pain and stress after just a short session. By providing a therapeutic escape from the challenges of illness and hospitalisation, VR therapy offers a ray of hope and healing for patients at Spintex Medical Center.
