“…Through these virtual tasks, schizophrenia, epilepsy, depression, ASD, and AD can be distinguished from healthy controls. In the task, the computer application can modify the simulated environment according to the responses and actions of participants ( Riva et al, 2020 ). Hence, the interaction with the virtual object can be repeated and adjusted countless times.…”

The biosensor is an instrument that converts the concentration of biomarkers into electrical signals for detection. Biosensing technology is non-invasive, lightweight, automated, and biocompatible in nature. These features have significantly advanced medical diagnosis, particularly in the diagnosis of mental disorder in recent years. The traditional method of diagnosing mental disorders is time-intensive, expensive, and subject to individual interpretation. It involves a combination of the clinical experience by the psychiatrist and the physical symptoms and self-reported scales provided by the patient. Biosensors on the other hand can objectively and continually detect disease states by monitoring abnormal data in biomarkers. Hence, this paper reviews the application of biosensors in the detection of mental diseases, and the diagnostic methods are divided into five sub-themes of biosensors based on vision, EEG signal, EOG signal, and multi-signal. A prospective application in clinical diagnosis is also discussed.

“…It is a tool whose attributes fit perfectly with contemporary adolescent culture, which is radically different from that of just two generations ago. Additionally, given that adolescent obesity is often attributed to the excessive use of technology, we may be able to use technology as a means to reduce this very problem [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Development of an Extended-Reality (XR)-Based Intervention to Treat Adolescent Obesity

Public health policies aimed at obesity reduction are more often directed toward adults than children. This is alarming given that rates of childhood obesity have been steadily increasing, and, if not treated early, adolescents with obesity may develop comorbidities into adulthood. Lifestyle-based interventions are the cornerstone of childhood obesity treatment. Recently, extended-reality (XR)-based interventions have been incorporated into the treatment of obesity, and parents and adolescents perceive virtual reality (VR) interventions as a promising approach to increasing physical activity levels and improving eating habits. VR is a tool that fits perfectly with contemporary adolescent culture, which is radically different from that of just two generations ago. It is plausible that an XR-based intervention for treating adolescents with obesity could have a profound influence on obesity management over the long-term. An understanding of adolescents’ preferences, wants, and needs must be considered in the development of new interventions. We suggest that VR interventions can provide a new approach to weight management for children and adolescents and provide recommendations to assess adolescents’, caregivers’, and primary care providers’ needs. These needs could then be used for the development of an XR-based intervention aimed at inducing sustained lifestyle changes in adolescents with obesity.

“…[12][13][14] Older patients, obese patients, and patients with stroke in particular have demonstrated benefits from VR PT. 2,[6][7][8][9][10][11]15 Virtual reality is an effective way to prevent falls among the older patients because it increases balance, mobility, and motor coordination with good acceptability and accession and is associated with increased quality of life. 2 Virtual reality-augmented PT improves balance and gait ability in stroke survivors and leads to improved upper limb function and activities of daily living compared with conventional PT.…”

Objective: Virtual reality facilitates physical therapy via improved engagement. Although shown to benefit specific patient populations, such as stroke patients, it is less established in otherwise healthy adults and children receiving outpatient physical therapy. The primary objective was to compare total physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality with physical therapy-guided movement alone without virtual reality. Design: This pragmatic, randomized, crossover study compared physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality with physical therapy-guided movement alone without virtual reality in outpatients (ages 6-80 yrs). This community sample had variable physical therapy indications (injury, postoperative, chronic pain), and in pre-existing conditions, therefore, participants served as their own controls. Participants received 10 mins of both physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality and physical therapyguided movement alone without virtual reality separated by 5 mins. The primary outcome was differences in aggregate movement of physical therapy-guided exercises. Secondary outcomes explored OMNI rating of perceived exertion and participant and physical therapist satisfaction. Paired t tests, χ 2 tests, and regression models were used to analyze differences. Results: The 41 participants (17 pediatric and 24 adult) moved significantly more during physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality compared with physical therapy-guided movement alone without virtual reality (1120.88 vs. 672.65 m, P < 0.001), regardless of which intervention was completed first. Physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality treatment was associated with more movement of the target limbs, lower body (P < 0.001), and upper body (P < 0.05). The OMNI rating of perceived exertion scores did not differ between those who started with physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality or physical therapy-guided movement alone without virtual reality, and physical therapist and patient surveys endorsed physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality. Conclusions: Patients completed more physical therapy-guided movement during physical therapy-guided movement supplemented with virtual reality than physical therapy-guided movement alone without virtual reality, and therapists and patients supported its use. Future studies will examine finer tracking of movements.
