“…VR technology has been proved to be able to stimuli for patients who has difficulty in imagining scenes and/ or are too phobic to experience real situations since long time ago [56]. The 'Immersive' characteristic of VR technology can substantially improve movement training for neurorehabilitation [54] [9] [34] [3]. The report of the early research of utilizing VR to treat claustrophobia patient [7] has inspired our work, since the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a typical sealed space.…”

In this paper, two mHealth applications are introduced, which can be employed as the terminals of bigdata based health service to collect information for electronic medical records (EMRs). The first one is a hybrid system for improving the user experience in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber by 3D stereoscopic virtual reality glasses and immersive perception. Several HMDs have been tested and compared. The second application is a voice interactive serious game as a likely solution for providing assistive rehabilitation tool for therapists. The recorder of the voice of patients could be analysed to evaluate the long-time rehabilitation results and further to predict the rehabilitation process.

This is the preprint version of our paper on REHAB2015. This paper proposed a novel immersive entertainment system for the users of hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber. The system is a hybrid of hardware and software, the scheme is described in this paper. The hardware is combined by a HMD (i.e. virtual reality glasses shell), a smartphone and a waterproof bag. The software is able to transfer the stereoscopic images of the 3D game to the screen of the smartphone synchronously. The comparison and selection of the hardware are discussed according to the practical running scene of the clinical hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Finally, a preliminary guideline for designing this kind of system is raised accordingly.
