Testimonials
DR. ANAT ENGEL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT WOLFSON MEDICAL CENTER
"The VR experience was amazing. It lets medical staff grasp the situation from the patient’s point of view in a very powerful way. I think the tool should be a requirement for medical students. It’s a very important tool and I have no doubt it will be used broadly."
DR. AVIAD COHEN, SENIOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT AT ICHILOV MEDICAL CENTER
"I can’t even count the number of times I had to deal with similar situations. OtheReality helped me understand the patient’s point of view and changed the way I interact with patients."
SENIOR PSYCHIATRIST AT ICHILOV MEDICAL CENTER
