“…This type of research is helping to foster and develop new scientific pathways and symbiotic collaborative relationships, ironically much like the developing brain does. Furthermore, new technologies (like immersive reality platforms—Freeman et al, ; Bouchard et al, ) are offering novel ways of providing treatments.…”

Background/objectives: Virtual Reality (VR) is a developing technology, which seems to have extensive applications in different areas such as entertainment, sports, gaming and simulation. In the current scenario, due to Computer-generated imagery and content aim at simulating a real presence through senses capability, it has functional applications in the medical field. So, there are requirements to study its applicability in the medical field. Methods: Relevant papers on VR in the context of the medical field are identified and studied. This paper is a literature review based analysis, where we are trying to find how this technology is going to solve a medicalrelated problem in saving the life of the patient and what are the significant applications. Results: VR provides a simulated environment to interact with the 3D world. Medical professionals are developing and implementing this technology for training, diagnosis and virtual treatment during a critical situation. The study sees that there is good potential for VR in the medical field. We also studied the processes involved in implementing this technology in the medical field. Finally, this paper identifies fourteen major applications of VR in the medical field with description. This technology is helping to create quality healthcare services during complicated cases. Conclusions: VR is used effectively for better surgical technique. It creates detailed virtual models of a patient's anatomy. It helps physicians to effectively move around and view virtual 3D images from different angles. This technology is currently applied in cardiology and Neurology for monitoring and improves patient outcomes. It plays a significant role to help physician related to trauma and other fractures. VR is an emerging technology which can also be used in hospitals and clinics for rehabilitation & training approaches. The applications of this technology are in virtual guides and to fulfil different other virtual goals in the medical field. It seems like an efficient technology to teach body fitness and help create a positive impact on doctors and the patient. This technology leads to creative and exciting discoveries in the medical field.

“…While there are concerns about potential lack of accountability in the m-health field, and that online communications could miss non-verbal cues that can ultimately impact empathy and patient satisfaction [12], it is also evidence that web-based programs can facilitate disclosure [13], and such online interventions are as effective or even more efficient than traditional interventions in mental health [14,15]. Furthermore, evidence shows that telepsychiatry is as accurate as in person psychiatry and online users experience the same degree of satisfaction as face-to-face users [16].…”

Background: Globally, there is increasing recognition that new strategies are required to reduce the disability due to common mental health problems. As 75% of mental health and substance misuse disorders emerge during the teenage or early adulthood years, these strategies need to be readily accessible to young people. When considering how to provide such services at scale, e-health technologies show promise in augmenting traditional clinicbased services. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and accuracy of an online assessment of clinical staging for use in a prototypic Internet-based early intervention youth mental health service system, known as the Mental Health eClinic. Methods: An online version of clinical staging for early intervention youth mental health services, was compared directly with clinician assessments within two Sydney-based primary care service hubs (headspace Camperdown and Campbelltown). Two hundred and four (N=204) young people were recruited in the study. Eligible participants completed both faceto-face and online assessments which were randomly allocated and counterbalanced at a one-to-three ratio. These assessments were: (1) a traditional 45 to 60-minute headspace face-to-face assessment performed by a Youth Access Clinician; and (2) a self-report online survey followed by an online 'video-visit' assessment with a clinician taking approximately 15 minutes. All assessments were completed within a two-week timeframe from initial presentation. Results: Of the 72 participants who completed the study, 72% were female and the mean age was 20.4 years. Sixty eight percent (49/72) of the participants were recruited from headspace Camperdown and the remaining 32% (23/72) from headspace Campbelltown. Inter-rater agreement of participants' clinical stages, as determined after the face-to-face assessment and after the online assessment, demonstrated fair agreement (κ=0.39, P<0.001), with concordance in 68% of cases (49/72). In 26% of cases, the face-to-face assessment appeared to downrate the lifetime history of mental health problems. By contrast, the online evaluation placed greater weight on past history of mental health disorders (P=0.001), as well as any previous suicide planning (P=0.002) and current substance misuse (P=0.03). Conclusions:The online application of clinical staging presents a technologically-advanced and clinically-efficient method for determining key clinical service parameters. It has the potential to be adapted to varied settings in which young people are connecting with traditional clinical services and assist to provide optimal care.
