Zusammenfassung:Medical applications include medical education, surgery, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatry, and psychology, making it an excellent tool for addressing the issues that make the health care journey for patients more agreeable: alleviating pain, dissipating fear, offering more empathy and care.
