This blog is about my journey through med school. It's also about sharing thoughts, and understanding medical concepts. And it's about games, Science Fiction and Fantasy with a medical setting.

Isla Calma - Virtual Reality at the Dentist
I read an abstract on this virtual reality application called Isla Calma. The idea is to let patients play a 3D-game while being subject to unpleasant procedures like biopsies, dentist work and such. According to the developers it can also be used to treat anxiety and stress. They did some research which showed that people like to play the game while at the dentist. It made them think less of the pain or fear involved with the visit! I definitely like the idea!
At the moment it only seems to be available in Spain at certain dentists. SO if you want to try it you need to go to the dentist... in Spain, which in itself is also quite nice :)
