ParticipantI am wondering whether anyone has any experience or research related to the use of VR. Specifically in the case example there were many barrier to the patient complying with treatment and I am wondering whether this technology might benefit?

ParticipantHi Paul
are you asking about Virtual Reality? I know it has been used very successfully with people who have pain, especially from burns to distract them during treatment. If this is what you are asking about we can get some references. If it’s not what you were asking I still think it might be a really interesting idea!

ParticipantHi Lisa,
Would you mind sharing the references on virtual reality? One of the homes in my area is currently doing a study on VR with people with dementia, and it is fascinating. I’d love to learn more. Thank you!
