Brief Summary

The purpose of virtual medicine is to minimize direct contact and impact on human body during treatment. Taking into consideration the increasing accessibility of high quality electronic devices, their immense computing powers, and the continuously developing Internet infrastructure, the advancement in this area is only a matter of time. The project aims to analyze physiological reactions to stimuli in virtual reality in order to select appropriate stimulations for a group of pulmonary and cardiac patients.

Conditions

Virtual Reality

virtual reality; VR; HRV; thermal imaging

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Thermal Imaging

  The thermographic camera Flir 435-0006-03 will be used for measurements. The forearm and hand area will be observed. Photographs will be taken with a sequence of 30 seconds.

  30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Heart Rate Variability

  30 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Healthy volunteers

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants between 21 and 25 years, the Faculty of Physical Education and Physiotherapy of the Opole University of Technology Students

Diagnostic Test: stimulation in virtual reality

Interventions

stimulation in virtual reality DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

HTC VIVE pro was used to stimulate patients in virtual reality. The glasses enable high resolution and high fluidity (90Hz) images to be displayed. The display used inside the glasses, OLED class, allows for accurate color replication. Numerous sensors placed in the glasses (such as gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer) supported by dedicated processors processing data from the sensors, instantly transfer the movement of the head of the rehabilitated person to virtual reality. Such a set allows to achieve full immersion in the virtual world. Various scenarios will be presented during the stimulation, such as beach, snow landscape, darkened room, rollercoaster ride. It was planned to submit 3 scenarios with a total stimulation time of up to 20 minutes.
