About the Virtual Medicine (vMed) Conference

For decades, scientists have been discovering the surprising health benefits of extended reality (XR) for a wide range of chronic conditions. Nearly 20,000 studies reveal that XR technologies like virtual reality (VR) can help manage pain, lower anxiety, support mental and physical health, and train healthcare providers. XR is helping to deliver babies, supporting patients with PTSD, and enhancing treatment for conditions ranging from irritable bowel to hypertension.

Developed by the Cedars-Sinai Virtual Medicine program and now in its seventh year, the annual vMed conference is a two-day, CME-accredited symposium that convenes the brightest minds in Medical Extended Reality (MXR) to explore what happens when medicine meets the Metaverse. Over 60 international speakers will discuss best practices for implementing MXR into clinical practice, explore evidence supporting the efficacy of XR applications, discuss the regulatory landscape of MXR, hear from patients who received XR therapeutics, and study uses of XR for simulation and training.
