“…In addition, technical aspects and device security should be overseen, including hardware and software compatibility as well as the implementation of data security policies. Creativity in the design of VR learning experiences needs to be promoted to create interesting and immersive learning situations (Tchao et al, 2023). Interactivity and student engagement are also key foci, ensuring that the VR experience provides space for active participation and exploration (Bawanch and Almanshan, 2023).…”

“…Students become more active and engaged in the learning process because they can control their own experience (Georgiou and Eleni, 2018). Research conducted by Tchao et al (2023) also suggests that student learning outcomes can improve overall because the use of VR media creates a learning experience that is more real, interesting, and relevant to the learning content being taught.…”

“…The use of VR also allows students to establish an emotional connection with the subject matter. The use of VR in the cognitive dimension not only improves students' understanding of difficult concepts but also opens the door for deeper exploration and more meaningful learning experiences (Tchao et al, 2023). The use of VR provides opportunities for students to be more actively involved in the learning process, stimulate curiosity, and develop a more holistic understanding of the subject matter (Sariy et al, 2018).…”

“…The use of innovation and technology in the learning process is becoming increasingly relevant to improving learning effectiveness (Aisa and Linta, 2020). The learning process requires self-learning tools so as to increase student interest in learning and increase learning effectiveness (Tchao et al, 2023). One innovation that attracts attention in this context is the use of virtual reality (VR) technology as a learning tool.…”

Abstract. The increasing demand for the use of technology in learning requires adjustments to the use of technology in learning. The learning process requires innovative media to increase learning motivation. One of the innovative learning media is virtual reality media. The application of VR media in learning provides many benefits, especially in material that is complex, abstract and cannot be observed directly, such as the digestive system material which discusses the digestive organs and bioprocesses that occur in the body. The purpose of this literature review is to determine the learning potential of using learning media in an effort to increase learning motivation and student learning outcomes on digestive system material. The research method used is a systematic literature review of several Scopus indexed articles published from 2018 to 2023 through content analysis. The results of the assessment study show that the use of virtual reality media in learning has great potential to increase student motivation and student learning outcomes in terms of cognitive, affective and psychomotor.Keywords: virtual reality, learning motivation, learning outcome, digestive system.

ObjectiveThis systematic review aims to describe the involvement of persons with epilepsy (PWE), healthcare professionals (HP) and caregivers (CG) in the design and development of medical devices is epilepsy.MethodsA systematic review was conducted, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligibility criteria included peer‐reviewed research focusing on medical devices for epilepsy management, involving users (PWE, CG, and HP) during the MDD process. Searches were performed on PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, and a total of 55 relevant articles were identified and reviewed.ResultsFrom 1999 to 2023, there was a gradual increase in the number of publications related to user involvement in epilepsy medical device development (MDD), highlighting the growing interest in this field. The medical devices involved in these studies encompassed a range of seizure detection tools, healthcare information systems, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) technologies reflecting the emphasis on seizure detection, prediction, and prevention. PWE and CG were the primary users involved, underscoring the importance of their perspectives. Surveys, usability testing, interviews, and focus groups were the methods used for capturing user perspectives. User involvement occurs in four out of the five stages of MDD, with production being the exception.SignificanceUser involvement in the MDD process for epilepsy management is an emerging area of interest holding a significant promise for improving device quality and patient outcomes. This review highlights the need for broader and more effective user involvement, as it currently lags in the development of commercially available medical devices for epilepsy management. Future research should explore the benefits and barriers of user involvement to enhance medical device technologies for epilepsy.Plain Language SummaryThis review covers studies that have involved users in the development process of medical devices for epilepsy. The studies reported here have focused on getting input from people with epilepsy, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. These devices include tools for detecting seizures, stimulating nerves, and tracking brain activity. Most user feedback was gathered through surveys, usability tests, interviews, and focus groups. Users were involved in nearly every stage of device development except production. The review highlights that involving users can improve device quality and patient outcomes, but more effective involvement is needed in commercial device development. Future research should focus on the benefits and challenges of user involvement.

Epilepsy presents challenges in seizure management and cognitive deficits despite medical advancements. Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool in epilepsy care, offering innovative approaches beyond traditional therapies. This narrative review explores current trends, challenges in implementation, and future directions of VR applications in epilepsy management. Systematic searches of PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar identified relevant studies from 2000 to February 2024. Key findings highlight VR’s potential in stress reduction, seizure prediction, cognitive training, and patient education. VR environments provide immersive experiences that alleviate stress and anxiety associated with epilepsy, potentially improving patient well-being. Moreover, VR-based biofeedback systems show promise in enhancing seizure prediction through real-time physiological data monitoring, aiding in early intervention strategies. Cognitive deficits, such as impaired memory and attention, significantly impact daily functioning in epilepsy patients. VR-based cognitive training programs offer tailored interventions to address these deficits, promoting neuroplasticity and functional independence. However, challenges such as photosensitivity risks and variability in VR technology must be addressed to ensure safe and effective implementation. The review explores the need for standardized protocols and longitudinal studies to validate VR’s efficacy across diverse patient populations. Future research should explore advanced VR technologies and focus on integrating VR into clinical practice to optimize epilepsy management strategies.
