“Could it be that in little more than a decade, occupational, physical, behavioral and psychological therapists will not have a one-on-one relationship with their patients? That is the prediction of Prof. Gigore Burdea, a pioneer in the field of virtual rehabilitation and director of the Rutgers University Tele-Rehabilitation Institute, who spoke recently at an international conference at the University of Haifa.
With developments in virtual reality, there will be no longer be a number of therapists for each patient, but one therapist for many patients, Burdea said.”
