Virtual reality for inclusion in community health

Design of a virtual tour as a tool for inclusion in community healthcare, developed for the Comprehensive University Clinic of UNEVT, within the framework of the TIAPYC Node. The proposal integrates technological innovation and territorial relevance through the use of 360° photography, institutional narrative, and accessibility strategies. The study is based on the recognition of inequalities in access to healthcare services in rural areas of the State of Mexico and draws on concepts such as digital literacy and emerging technologies with an educational focus. It also considers previous experiences with the use of virtual reality in clinical settings, although the present case has not yet been evaluated with users. Furthermore, the importance of technology transfer models with social impact is discussed. The virtual tour is projected as a replicable tool that strengthens the relationship between the university and the community and promotes digital and territorial inclusion.

Abstract

Design of a virtual tour as a tool for inclusion in community healthcare, developed for the Comprehensive University Clinic of UNEVT, within the framework of the TIAPYC Node. The proposal integrates technological innovation and territorial relevance through the use of 360° photography, institutional narrative, and accessibility strategies. The study is based on the recognition of inequalities in access to healthcare services in rural areas of the State of Mexico and draws on concepts such as digital literacy and emerging technologies with an educational focus. It also considers previous experiences with the use of virtual reality in clinical settings, although the present case has not yet been evaluated with users. Furthermore, the importance of technology transfer models with social impact is discussed. The virtual tour is projected as a replicable tool that strengthens the relationship between the university and the community and promotes digital and territorial inclusion.
