Immersive sensory projections

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will benefit from an immersive sensory environment in the hospital room. This IHP immersive sensory environment consists of the following elements: * light frescoes on the theme of nature, of the canopy type, diffused by a generative circadian cycle. * a soundtrack made up of nature sounds and sounds of life outside the hospital, broadcast in an immersive (moving sounds in the room), random (non-repetitive sounds over time) and generative way. * essential oils

Procedure: Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit

No immersive sensory projections

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard (control) group: Patients will not have any Immersion Health Project-type immersive sensory projection in the hospital room.

Procedure: Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit

Interventions

Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit for medical reasons or surgery, conscious or unconscious under mechanical ventilation. Resuscitation patients are then cared for in a continuing care unit.
