Integration of Virtual Reality in Pharmacy Practices: An Approach for Patient Care

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is a medium that describes the usage of a three-dimensional, computer-generated, interactive, immersive simulation environment. It is becoming an invaluable tool in patient care and pharmacy practice, providing engaging and interactive experiences that improve therapeutic outcomes and education. Virtual reality can offer innovative approaches to therapeutic interventions, education, and adherence support, allowing patients to better understand their prescriptions and picture intricate treatment procedures. In the same vein, VR can improve pharmacist skills, encourage a more patient-centered approach, and facilitate safer, more effective healthcare delivery by bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. From this perspective, the aim of this short review was to provide scoping highlights to the integration of VR technology in pharmacy practice and for patient education, counseling, and clinical care in pharmacy practice.
