Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of patients who receive the AR game who are able to initiate the game and activate any targets with 1% error rate
Success defined as at least 80% of patients who receive the AR game being able to initiate the game and activate any targets with 1% error rate
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Inpatient opioid use
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
Outpatient opioid use
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
Average daily inpatient pain score
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
Number of opioid requests (rescue analgesia)
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
Quality of life assessment
The patient's postoperative inpatient hospital stay, average 7 days
- +5 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (1)
Adverse events
Through study completion, average 4-month time period
Study Arms (2)
Non-AR Group
SHAM COMPARATORPatients allocated to the control group will be able to interact with the iPad and visualize objects and decals in the walls but not able to initiate the AR technology. In other terms, patients in this group will be provided with the same iPad to the AR group patients with the only exception that the AR technology will be off and will only see objects through the device camera in normal reality.
AR Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients randomized to the AR group will be able to use the iPad and SpellBound app to initiate the AR experiences in the game.
Interventions
An augmented reality game for mobile devices with AR experiences disabled as an control
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Ages 3-18
- English speaking parents/legal guardians and patients
- Undergoing major surgery for cancer requiring postoperative hospitalization defined as ≥2 hours of duration of surgery and requiring postoperative hospital admission of at least one night
- Expected to be prescribed postoperative inpatient opioids
- Have never taken opioids or have had no daily opioid use within the last 30 days
- Sufficient cognitive capacity to comprehend and interact with the game. This is defined as ability to utilize mobile technology (use iPad with or without assistance) and activate and respond to AR experiences within the app as determined by the clinician.
