Patient Hero: The ER in VR is a virtual reality (VR) application to help people who purposely avoid seeking medical attention (nosocomephobia), for those who want to develop a better bond with their healthcare providers, and for anyone looking to learn about the process of going to the Emergency Department. Elements of gamified learning and virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) are used to create an interactive experience to equip patients with knowledge and lessen their fears.
