Wearable technology, such as smart bracelets or watches, is already all around us in sports and for recreative purposes, but can also be of added value in healthcare. In this episode, Bert Bonroy explains how wearable technology and virtual reality applications can be used in healthcare settings, for example for monitoring or managing stress. In particular, he discusses how it can help nursing staff, but also patients during hospitalisation or students, and which interventions can help to relieve their stress e.g. through VR-supported relaxation or mindfulness.
