| All countries around the world seek to implement modern technologies in all areas of life including medicine where the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of those countries which aspire the medical efficiency that characterizes it around the world by applying technologies in medicine and healthcare field which in turn will contribute to achieve its 2030 vision as it chiefly depends on technology. There are too many technologies which serve healthcare sector one of them is the use of (VR) Virtual Reality which has contributed positively in several healthcare applications such as medical training, treatment and Disease Awareness. So, our paper aims to evaluate the usage of VR technology in healthcare Sector of Saudi Arabia. We conducted our study on sample of doctors of Saudi Arabia hospitals through interview and online survey in which some factors have been taken under consideration such as the motivations of use it, obstacles they faced, suitable field to use it and their opinions toward it. The preliminary finding of this study shows that more than fifty percent of physicians have already used VR technology and the majority of them were optimistic to use it. Moreover, we use a cause and effect diagram to illustrate the limitations of using VR technology and we proposed some solutions to overcome these limitations. We are going to discuss more about the results and further details. | ||||
