Everyday, many patients spend long periods of time in hospitals rooms, often with reduced mobility. Unfortunately, these patients frequently face boredom in addition to the typical anxiety that accompanies hospital visits.

To address this issue, oVRcome enlists the help of Vanderbilt student volunteers, who visit hospitals and provide virtual reality experiences to patients. In addition to being an exciting source of entertainment, VR has been demonstrated to reduce stress, pain, and anxiety for patients.
