The use of Virtual Reality for the development of applications that can help in the treatment of different pathologies and the training of health professionals has been increasing gradually in the last decade. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of the articles describing virtual reality applications for the health area, published in the last five editions of the Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality (SVR). Seven research questions were defined to identify the current panorama and possible trends. The results of the research present quantitative data regarding the number of published works, universities and states involved, types of treatments and training performed, as well as presenting data regarding the technologies used and the incidence of games.
