=== Training for healthcare professionals ===
With the rise of [[COVID-19]] in 2020, opportunities for clinical training and education were greatly reduced due to the lack of availability of clinical educators and the need to establish [[social distancing]] by avoiding in-person interaction.<ref>Goh P, Sandars J, 2020, [[doi:10.15694/mep.2020.000049.1|'A vision of the use of technology in medical education after the COVID-19 pandemic']], MedEdPublish, 9, [1], 49</ref> However, in recent years, there has been a resurge in funding, thus, many institutions have developed simulations to teach their medical students. Particularly in the field of [[diabetes]], a study named DEVICE (Diabetes Emergencies: Virtual Interactive Clinical Education) allowed non-specialist clinics to undergo training so that they can better identify and treat diabetes patients.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal |last1=Mallik |first1=Ritwika |last2=Patel |first2=Mayank |last3=Atkinson |first3=Ben |last4=Kar |first4=Partha |date=2021-07-01 |title=Exploring the Role of Virtual Reality to Support Clinical Diabetes Training—A Pilot Study |journal=Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology |volume=16 |issue=4 |pages=844–851 |doi=10.1177/19322968211027847 |issn=1932-2968 |pmc=9264436 |pmid=34210183}}</ref>
