VR Healthcare Solution of the Year celebrates the companies that have made significant strides in revolutionizing healthcare through the use of VR. The award recognizes solutions that can demonstrate how their product or service has solved a healthcare issue and provide evidence-based results.
Planning and research are key, as judges are looking for innovative and original solutions that showcase originality, user interactivity, accessibility, and quality production.
In addition, judges will also focus on the product or service’s rollout and scalability, as well as its ease of use and adoption. Innovation is also a critical factor, and nominees must demonstrate their solution's impact on the healthcare industry through key results and milestones.
