“…This recognition of the potential impact of VR technology has led to the emergence of a significant, albeit still maturing, research literature that documents the many clinical and research targets where VR can add value relative to traditional assessment and intervention methods. A short list of the areas where Clinical VR has been usefully applied includes fear reduction in persons with specific phobias (Morina et al, 2015; Opris et al, 2012; Parsons & Rizzo, 2008; Powers & Emmelkamp, 2008), treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (Beidel, Frueh, Neer, & Lejuez, 2017; Botella et al, 2015; Difede & Hoffman, 2002; Difede et al, 2007, 2014; Maples-Keller et al, 2017; McLay et al, 2011; Rizzo et al, 2010, 2013, 2017; Rothbaum, Hodges, Ready, Graap, & Alarcon, 2001; Rothbaum et al, 2014), cue-exposure for addiction and relapse prevention (Hone-Blanchet, Wensing, & Fecteau, 2014; Yoon et al, 2014), depression (Falconer et al, 2016), paranoid delusions (Freeman et al, 2016), discomfort reduction in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (Schneider, Kisby, & Flint, 2010), acute pain reduction during wound care and physical therapy with burn patients (Hoffman et al, 2011), other painful procedures (Gold et al, 2006; Mosadeghi, Reid, Martinez, Rosen, & Spiegel, 2016), body image disturbances in patients with eating disorders (Riva, 2011), navigation and spatial training in children and adults with motor impairments (John, Pop, Day, Ritsos, & Headleand, 2017), functional skill training and motor rehabilitation in patients with central nervous system dysfunction (e.g. stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc.)…”

Numerous reports indicate that the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) military personnel has created a significant behavioural healthcare challenge. These findings have served to motivate research on how to better develop and disseminate evidence-based treatments for PTSD. The current article presents the use of Virtual Reality (VR) as a clinical tool to address the assessment, prevention, and treatment of PTSD, based on the VR projects that were evolved at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies since 2004. A brief discussion of the definition and rationale for the clinical use of VR is followed by a description of a VR application designed for the delivery of prolonged exposure (PE) for treating Service Members (SMs) and Veterans with combat- and sexual assault-related PTSD. The expansion of the virtual treatment simulations of Iraq and Afghanistan for PTSD assessment and prevention is then presented. This is followed by a forward-looking discussion that details early efforts to develop virtual human agent systems that serve the role of virtual patients for training the next generation of clinical providers, as healthcare guides that can be used to support anonymous access to trauma-relevant behavioural healthcare information, and as clinical interviewers capable of automated behaviour analysis of users to infer psychological state. The paper will conclude with a discussion of VR as a tool for breaking down barriers to care in addition to its direct application in assessment and intervention.

“…While future studies can target more narrow segments of the blood clinic patients, the breadth of the current study serves to illustrate the diverse experiences of child patients and has provided insights into the further refinement of breathing based distraction games. Furthermore, the number of patients included in the study follows sample sizes for exploratory medical research on children undergoing venipuncture and injections [12,17,25,30,50] and was sufficient to understand initial responses to breath-based biofeedback games.…”

Blood sampling is a common and necessary procedure in the treatment and diagnosis of a variety of diseases. However, it often results in painful and stressful experiences for children. Designed together with domain experts, Pufferfish is a breath-controlled biofeedback game technology with bespoke airflow sensor that aims to calm children during blood sampling procedures. An initial randomized controlled trial was conducted in which 20 children aged 6-11 were assigned to one of two conditions involving either passive distraction (watching a video) or active distraction using the Pufferfish prototype. Medical staff rated Pufferfish significantly more useful in facilitating the blood sampling procedure compared to passive distraction. Qualitative feedback from patients, parents, and medical staff identified aspects that impact the acceptance of breath-based active distraction. Our study highlights the potential of non-pharmacological assistive technology tools to reduce fear and pain for children undergoing painful or stressful medical treatment.

“…Empirical evidence to support the educational effectiveness of electronic games in HE and PE is increasing; computer games improved psychological therapy outcomes in 69% of cases [3]. The potential for video games to improve health outcomes in the areas of psychological therapy, physical therapy, and chemotherapy in adolescent and teen cancer patients has been shown [3,[7][8][9][10]. Several video games have been created to distract people from acute or chronic pain [7].…”

BackgroundAlthough video gaming has been associated with many negative health consequences, it was hypothesized that a mobile online game would help to increase compliance with cytotoxic chemotherapy and decrease the incidence of chemotherapy side effects in patients with breast cancer. ObjectiveThe potential efficiency of video games to help side effects and improve life quality and life span for metastatic breast cancer patients needs to be demonstrated. MethodsA total of 76 patients with metastatic breast cancer agreed to participate in an education-controlled trial of mobile game healthcare management. All participants were randomly assigned to a chemotherapy+mobile game play group (mobile game group) or a chemotherapy+education group (education group) at a 1:1 ratio. This study was designed as a 3-week prospective trial. ResultsThe mobile game group showed increased drug adherence scores and game playing time compared to the education group. The mobile game group also reported decreased personal total physical side effects (χ .0, p<0.01) compared to the education group. In addition, the mobile game group also reported decreased severity of physical side effects including (F=12.37, p<0.01), decreased appetite (F=9.33, p<0.01), numbness in the hand or foot (F<1.0, p<0.01), stomatitis (F<1.0, p<0.01), and hair loss (F<1.0, p<0.01) compared to the patients in the education group. Over the course of 3 weeks, the education group showed greater decreases in scores for quality of life (QoL) compared to the mobile game group. ConclusionsOur findings indicate improved drug compliance, QoL and decreased prevalence rates for physical side effects when using a mobile game for breast cancer patients. These results suggest that the mobile game, ILOVEBREAST, may be helpful in the management of breast cancer.Trial Registration : Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT03205969
