Why Medical VR? A Personal Mission for Ted Schilowitz

Schilowitz’s passion for healthcare innovation is deeply personal. After two life-threatening heart surgeries, he spent an extended period in hospitals, experiencing firsthand the anxiety, stress, and discomfort that so many patients endure.

"With immersive technology, we have the opportunity to transform the hospital experience—giving patients a sense of relief, comfort, and even joy during their most difficult moments," said Schilowitz. "VR isn’t just for entertainment; it has the power to enhance healing and well-being in ways we’re only beginning to understand."

His experience in shaping the future of entertainment and media will now be applied to improving the hospital experience, reducing patient distress, and accelerating recovery outcomes through Novobeing’s evidence-based VR platform.

The Future of Patient Care with Medical VR

Medical VR is gaining widespread recognition as a powerful tool in mental health and pain management. With more than 60 VR and AR-based medical devices approved by regulatory agencies and over 300 published studies highlighting the effectiveness of VR in clinical settings, the potential for immersive technology in healthcare is undeniable.

How Novobeing is Leading the Way

Novobeing is pioneering the integration of VR into patient care, offering clinically validated therapeutic programs designed to:

• Reduce anxiety and stress in hospitalized patients
• Support pain management through immersive distraction techniques
• Enhance emotional well-being with guided meditation and relaxation experiences
• Improve recovery outcomes by making hospital stays more engaging and less distressing

Studies show that addressing psychological distress can lead to shorter hospital stays, lower medication use, and reduced healthcare costs​. As we continue to expand our impact, Schilowitz will play a key role in driving innovation, expanding adoption, and advocating for the future of medical VR.

A Vision for the Future of Healthcare

In his new role, Schilowitz will help shape Novobeing’s long-term vision, leveraging his deep expertise in immersive media, emerging technology, and storytelling to drive the next phase of our growth.

"Novobeing’s platform is redefining what’s possible in patient care. Our goal is to create a future where immersive technology is standard in every hospital room, helping patients heal faster and more comfortably," said Schilowitz.

With his leadership and our expanding clinical footprint, we are more committed than ever to revolutionizing the patient experience and making hospitals a place of healing, engagement, and hope.
