Feasibility and Design of a Virtual Reality tool to support lung cancer patients' treatment preparedness: EveryBreathMatters
DescriptionLung cancer patients face several challenges during treatment that impact their adherence to the prescribed regimens. VR can potentially enhance patient education, treatment preparedness, and comfort with the treatment environment by creating computer-generated virtual environments. This study uses patient and provider data collected through interviews to design a VR tool, EveryBreathMatters. Designed tool has a layered content including 4 modules providing patients with information on cancer treatment options, related side effects, mental health support and well-being, and links to possible sources to navigate.
