Smileyscope: Virtual Reality to Alleviate Pain
Show Notes

Welcome to The Art of Medicine, the program that explores the arts, business, and clinical aspects of the practice of medicine! I’m your host, Dr. Andrew Wilner. 

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Paul Leong, a pulmonologist and sleep physician from Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Leong observed that his patients often needed to submit to uncomfortable and sometimes painful procedures in order to receive the best diagnosis and treatment. To help his patients, he searched for a strategy to enable them to obtain the care they needed without so much discomfort. 

Ultimately, Dr. Leong founded Smileyscope, a virtual reality approach to decrease pain from medical procedures! During this 30-minute interview, Dr. Leong will tell us where he got the idea, how he developed Smileyscope, and where it’s available.
