Virtual Reality (VR) technology application has become more affordable, immersive and portable.This is also happening in the health intervention domain.While the usage of the VR applications is still dominated by man, we conduct a literature review study to see the stateof-the-art in the application for recent VR technologies for women's health intervention.This study is done since women are more susceptible to some disease than men, feel pain more easily, more susceptible to autoimmune diseases, and experience anxiety and phobia more easily.It will help future studies to lookup the big impact of VR health intervention for women.The result of the literature review shows that there are three types of VR technology are used in the application (non-immersive, semi-immersive, and full-immersive), there are four category of health interventions done through VR (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, diagnosis-treatment), and the domain of the disorder are focused mostly to psychological and physical aspect.
