Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment featuring immersive audio-visual components. Its applications are virtually limitless and can be integrated with other methods to create and analyze innovative scenarios. VR offers novel possibilities for bridging gaps caused by personnel shortages during critical phases of healthcare therapy.

The use of VR in health science represents an emerging paradigm for delivering therapy to patients with psychological disorders. This technology enables the replication of real-world stimuli within a controllable virtual environment. Studies have shown promising results for VR as a supplemental tool that facilitates psychotherapeutic presence and enhances treatment engagement.

We possess the capability to combine VR with reliable physiological input sources – such as electrodermal activity (EDA), electrocardiography (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and electroencephalography (EEG) – and to analyze these data using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. This integrated approach supports a comprehensive understanding of mental and physical health status.
