Thank you to the entire American Medical Extended Reality Association team for your amazing work! I am so proud to be a part of this important community.

Hope to see you at #vMed24 next week! I'm super stoked for the demos and presentations.

We've been testing #VR -based talk therapy powered by #ChatGPT . The #AI is not a great therapist out of the box, but with training from top human therapists, it's getting better & better. I'm honestly amazed at what it's able to do. Writing up paper now to share our full findings.

What would happen if  #AI  powered a  #VR  therapist? Would it be helpful? Could it help deliver mental healthcare to those without access? We're recruiting participants for a  #CedarsSinai  research study to test our system & provide feedback. Info/eligibility: virtualmedicine.org/research/curre…

The #vMed drone is now in full effect!

Excited for #vMed23 starting today! Great friends, great lectures, and great VR demos. With Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS Rafael Grossmann, MD, MHDS, FACS 🇻🇪🇺🇸

Our #CedarsSinai medical #XR conference is now sold out! Thanks to everyone from around the world who registered to discuss the future of medicine in the #Metaverse on Mar 30-31st. Really needed a ticket? Contact us directly for limited special requests: virtualmedicine.org/conferences/ab…

Here are #chatGPT 's predictions for 2023. All seem relatively safe bets, but I especially agree with #3 #VR #AI

Here's more roleplaying with #chatGPT . We're running through the 'AI in the box' experiment first proposed by Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️. Would this convince you to let it out? Rafael Grossmann, MD, MHDS, FACS 🇻🇪🇺🇸 Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS

#ChatGPT has some understanding of ethics. It understands that sometimes we must do wrong (hotwiring and stealing a car) in order to do good (save a baby).

“As a psychiatrist, every day I see patients suffering from chronic pain despite receiving medical treatment,” says Omer Liran, MD as he presents his #CedarsSinai grad school capstone project on #VR for pain management. “That’s why this project is so close to my heart.”

Thrilled to announce that this year's #CedarsSinai Virtual Medicine conference will offer CME credits! The field of medical extended reality ( #MXR ) has matured into a formal branch of medicine with CME accreditation, full slate of academic speakers. Info: virtualmedicine.org/conferences/ab…

Virtual reality is an effective, non-invasive tool to help manage chronic pain & reduce dependence on opioids. #VR #PainManagement #OpioidReduction

Virtual Reality technology can be used to bridge the gap in healthcare access and improve health equity. Let's get it done! #VR #HealthEquity #HealthcareAccess

Great reporting by Carmen Escobosa of Univision News
on the #VR program at #CedarsSinai ! Thank you for letting us share our work with you and your audience. It's patients like Julia that keep me going. We'll keep pushing the technology to help as many patients as we can!

How does #VR work, exactly? In this #vMed23 session, we'll hear from a neuroscientist, psychiatrist & immunologist to explore the manifold effects that VR has on mind and body to reduce acute and chronic pain. I can't wait to moderate! Full agenda here: virtualmedicine.org/conference/age…

I just got funded to study perceptions and outcome differences of therapeutic #VR in diverse demographic groups. Understanding these differences will be very important for designing inclusive #MXR applications. #healthequity
