Sven Garber and Braden Catlett from the Defense Health Agency’s Web & Mobile Technology Program Management Office observes a visitor interacting with a virtual reality gaming application that raises awareness about PTSD during the July 29, 2023, Military Medical Innovation: The Future is Now event at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Garber and Catlett describe the game as a fun, engaging activity that generates a conversation about PTSD. As part of the game, the player is subjected to physical PTSD symptoms in a virtual environment; visitors can experience a fraction of what those with PTSD deal with in their daily lives. The goal of the application is to drive discussion about and empathy toward those with PTSD.
As the technology continues to grow, additional virtual reality and virtual augmentation programs are being developed by DHA WMT for military medical training and informational purposes.
