Stanford Chariot Program

Smarter technology, greater care

The Stanford Chariot Program makes a hospital visit feel as fun as blasting off into space. Our technology improves healthcare and the medical education of the doctors of tomorrow. Innovative virtual reality and tailored tech experiences capture a patient's imagination and alleviate their pain and anxiety, whether they’re undergoing anesthesia or getting a blood draw.

Our program is entirely philanthropically funded. Your generous gift will support our research and bring the latest virtual and augmented reality technology to more patients.
