  • Children's Hospital Los Angeles' Interventional Radiology team - one of the most universally visited specialties at the hospital - is working to minimize negative medical experiences using virtual reality (VR) technology.

Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is pioneering the use of virtual reality (VR) to revolutionize minimally invasive procedures for pediatric patients. By integrating VR technology, CHLA aims to reduce anxiety, pain, and the need for anesthesia, thereby enhancing patient comfort and recovery. The hospital has developed VR experiences that distract and engage children during procedures like endoscopies and catheterizations, allowing them to escape into immersive environments. This initiative not only improves the patient experience but also potentially decreases procedure times and costs. The VR system at CHLA includes custom content tailored to different age groups, ensuring that the technology is both effective and age-appropriate. This innovative approach reflects CHLA's commitment to advancing pediatric care through cutting-edge technology.
