Gaming addiction is already a problem, experts worry about VR addiction. Additionally, The risk is higher for dementia patients who have trouble identifying and engaging with the real world. The virtual world may be appealing to patients with severe disabilities.

New treatment procedures take time to design, implement, and approve. Because virtual reality technologies are still in the experimental stage, they lack suitable trial runs.

4. Inadequate training is provided

While the illustrative component of virtual reality is incredible for educational reasons, its usage for skill training falls short of real-world experience.

The Future of VR in Healthcare

The popularity of virtual reality is increasing, and this trend is expected to continue. By the end of 2017, there will be over 2 million non-Google VR devices in use, and 37 million by the end of 2020. The virtual reality sector is still in its infancy, and growth is expected to be upward only from here.

This tendency is projected to continue to improve as new technologies and faster Internet speeds become available. In effect, By 2020, the VR sector is expected to reach a huge $30 billion in revenue, with over 135 million VR headsets expected to be used on a monthly basis by 2025.
