OVERVIEW
MADE FOR children
Children often find a hospital visit to be a stressful and painful experience. Research has shown the use of VR can significantly reduce anxiety and pain in paediatric patients1.
DR.VR™ Junior has been created as a deployable medical device to help children today.
why does it work?
The overwhelming amount of information in the brain increases the cognitive load to such an extent that it reduces the brain's ability to process pain and anxiety2. Our job, therefore, becomes to create immersive environments that ‘convince’ the brain that simulated worlds are real.
built on evidence
VR has been researched for decades, with evidence that shows success in many areas of healthcare.
There is growing interest in VR research with the number of published scientific papers on the topic rising by more than 50% in a single year from 2019 to 2020.
91% [of patients] reported lower anxiety levels after using the headset.
HELPING IN PAEDIATRICS ACROSS THE UK
Developed as a Class 1 Medical Device, DR.VR™ Junior enables quick, easy and monitorable deployment of VR therapy in Paediatric settings. If you work with children experiencing pain and/or anxiety, DR.VR™ Junior Virtual Reality Therapy will be beneficial.
Research show success in a range of specialisms and departments including A&E2, Phlebotomy3, Orthopaedics4, Pre-elective surgery5, Burns6, Oncology7 and more.
INFECTION CONTROL
Infection control, even before COVID-19, has always been a priority for successful healthcare deployment of VR. DR.VR™ Junior uses the latest PICO G2 VR Headset, recently redesigned to improve infection control and reduce the risk of cross-infection between users.
In partnership with Cardiff University, Swansea Trinity Universities, ATiC, Rescape has developed a research-proven, infection control protocol to protect users and clinicians. Full training with video instructions are supplied and can be accessed on the tablet.
