Novobeing is addressing a significant problem in healthcare: poor patient experience during hospital stays. Their solution involves using virtual reality technology to transport patients to calming environments, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Beyond the direct benefits to patients, this also aims to improve HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) scores, as patient satisfaction increases.

CEO and co-founder, Sid Desai, shares how their research studies are validating these benefits for hospitals systems, with exciting recent results from Massachusetts General Hospital providing further evidence. The company’s initial focus is on patients undergoing stem cell transplant procedures, who often face prolonged hospital stays and isolation. Novobeing’s VR technology offers a way to improve their mental well-being and overall experience.

With several hospital systems already testing Novobeing’s solution, Sid discusses the exciting opportunities, including the potential to reduce pharmacological interventions. As the healthcare industry embraces Medical VR, the vision of fully patient-centered care comes closer to reality. Novobeing is well placed to play a central role in this evolution, meaning this story is sure to leave you informed and inspired.
