“…Finally, the third type of VR is a fully-immersive Head-Mounted system where users' vision is fully enveloped, creating a sense of full immersion (Ma and Zheng 2011). In general, within the context of VR technology in health care, research mostly focuses on the specific needs of each population with promising results (Alizadehsalehi et al 2020(Alizadehsalehi et al , 2021Bielsa 2021;Holzwarth et al 2021;Pedram et al 2021;Plotzky et. al.…”

Emerging research confirms the need for technologically enhanced solutions to support non-pharmacological interventions which can improve the quality of life, the mental and physical health of demented people. Several types of research examined if virtual reality can be an effective solution. This paper aims to present the cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analysing, and refining the VR system in real-world clinical settings. Seven people with moderate to severe dementia were recruited. The experiment required the patients to attend three virtual reality iterations of rapid prototyping with user testing. All three iterations involved training activities with upper body movements similar to their usual physical training. A mixed-methods design measured affect and emotional behaviour using the Observed Emotion Rating Scale and the Visual Analog Scale. Content analysis was conducted following observations and interviews. During each iteration of rapid prototyping with user testing, quantitative measurements of performance, independence and time were recorded. Eye tracking and movement information were captured by the system. Finally, a simplified version of the presence and usability scales evaluated the system. The results of this study provide further evidence that virtual reality can play a significant role in the improvement of people’s with dementia physical training and emotional health when is appropriately designed. The results present the vital factors which should be incorporated in a virtual reality system which are: 1) a simple interactions modality; 2) visible visual targets and continuous feedback; 3) personalized virtual environments; 4) personalized range of movements.

“…In comparison to live exercise training, VR enables the instruction of a greater number of personnel at a lower cost, and potentially faster and more frequently. Additionally, VR training is more acceptable and pleasant for trainees, as Pedram et al (2021) discovered that trainees perceived the benefits of VR training's social subsystem to greatly outweigh the costs. Trainees viewed VR training as a success and also recommended it to their colleagues.…”

Children's unexpected cardiac arrest warrants cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by kindergarten teachers. Yet, recent research revealed trained personnel reporting poor transfer of acquired skills during real-world emergencies with conventional CPR training. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) training induces a greater sense of presence and agency than conventional CPR training and may be more effective in terms of increasing trainees' intention and initiative to perform CPR in real-world emergencies. A quasi-experiment was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the IVR-based CPR training method in terms of enhancing the intention to perform CPR. The trial enrolled 50 participants, 25 of whom examined a child patient in an IVR virtual scenario, using an AED, and performed two rounds of two-minute chest compressions. The remaining 25 participants were trained using a video with consistent content on a monitor. A generalised estimating equation analysis demonstrated that the IVR training method significantly increased prospective kindergarten teachers' self-efficacy for performing CPR, positive attitudes towards CPR, and CPR knowledge. This advantage was also maintained after the five-week follow-up. Thus, CPR teaching via IVR looks to be an excellent | 2051 EFFECTIVENESS OF IVR-BASED CPR TRAINING TECHNIQUES

“…One of such theoretical standpoints views these collaborative systems as socio-technical systems (Ogie et al 2019;Perez et al 2015). The socio-technical systems (STS) theory postulates that all work systems comprise of interdependent technical and social subsystems, which must be jointly optimised to maximise the system performance (Pedram et al 2021). These social and technical subsystems often operate under the influence of environmental forces.…”
