"As a 'smart knee' that transmits data rolls out, medical specialists and engineers predict sensors will be added to artificial hips, shoulders and spinal implants."

Smart implants that can communicate with your healthcare provider and other smart devices. Interesting.

In the future, implants, prostheses and artificial body parts will be able to send vital physiological information/data about how they are doing to healthcare providers.

"Virtual reality can help people see their favourite band perform, hang out with friends or relax on a beach without leaving home. It is also pushing some people to speak in front of crowds or revisit war zones, processing fears or traumatic memories for the sake of their health."

Virtual reality isn't all about games, fun, entertainment and the "Metaverse hyper-hype."

Scientists are already exploring the healthcare benefits of VR in helping victims of trauma or those with phobias that affect their lives.

They are taking exposure therapy to a whole new level with the help of virtual reality.
