  • Publication number: 20220008745
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using virtual reality, augmented reality and/or mixed reality content for diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions are provided. The system may comprise a VR device for displaying the VR content to the user and one or more biometric monitors for monitoring the user's biometrics before, during and/or after exposure to the VR content. The system may further include a processor and one or more modules for analyzing the user's biometrics. The method may include the steps of measuring the user's initial biometric data, exposing the user to selected VR content, measuring the user's biometric data during and/or after exposure to the VR content, analyzing changes in the user's biometric data resulting from the selected VR content, and determining whether the selected VR content as a positive effect on the skin condition of the user.
