Recently, Firsthand , a Los Angeles technology company, tested the following clinical trials when testing SnowWorld 2.0, a VR game for relieving pain in burn patients:
The scale of the clinical trial was 40 people, each receiving 60 VR treatments. Only one person said that there was no reduction in pain, and other patients said that VR can reduce their pain by 60%-70%. When you have completed your first VR treatment, ask them how they feel, reducing their pain by 30%-50%.
The average analgesic effect of morphine is 30%. In other words, VR treatment can replace morphine for the first time to get rid of some “painful feelingsâ€.
SnowWorld was first used in 2008 to treat soldiers who were burned during the war. The pain of wound care and rehabilitation is generally unbearable, and it can't be suppressed with morphine.
Physiological pain can not be reduced, only " distraction therapy " can be used to alleviate the psychological pain of patients. There is no better way than VR. The patient wears a helmet to play SnowWorld while the doctor is taking care of it.
The game is set in an ice and snow environment, when the player flies over a magical canyon, the penguin and the snowman will throw snowballs at him. The background music is Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al", which is light, lively and adds immersion.
It makes you feel that you are not careful, it is cold and right.
The effects of VR treatment were measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measuring changes in hemodynamics induced by neuronal activity.
Scanning the "red area" in the patient's brain is significantly reduced, indicating an effect.
The VR treatment program dates back to the 1970s and originated from the Human-Computer Interaction Technology Laboratory at the University of Washington (HITLab).
HITLab is one of the few oldest VR research laboratories in the world. Even after 20 years, their research projects have not changed— using VR in medical treatment , specializing in treating some post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Phobia (fear of fear, fear of heights, fear of the crowd, fear of insects, autism).
The founder of HITLab is Tom Furness , who is 73 years old this year and is known as the " father of virtual reality. "
Dr. Furness has not yet founded HITLab Lab
Former Director of Visual Display Systems at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Developed the third HMD in the world at the time (the "Sword of Damocles" and "Sensorama" at the same time)
The helmet-mounted external monitor designed for pilots is more like the current AR helmet.
In 1989, Dr. Furness left the Air Force Base and went to the University of Washington to create HITLab to continue researching VR computing equipment.
The company's founder Firsthand Howard Ross (Howard Rose) was a graduate student HITLab laboratory, under the leadership of Dr. Furness, human-computer interaction research.
Ross has publicly stated that he is very fortunate to join HITLab as one of the creative explorers.
In 1995, Ross left HITLab to form Firsthand, focusing on VR healthcare and education .
In addition to SnowWorld, they also developed two experiences:
The World of Iraq is used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in the Iraq war;
Attacking Transformers motivates children to learn better health habits.
what! This story is so long, how is it still not finished?
By the way, in 2014, in order to break the risk, Firsthand set up a new company, DeepStream VR , which aims to create the future of VR in the healthcare field.
In 2015, with the emergence of high-end headlines such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, VR hardware devices were much better than the treatment devices of a few years ago.
DeepStream VR also uses the most advanced VR technology, launched SnowWorld 2.0 version, and launched a new name called "Cool" , cold and cold.
It looks richer in color, has more scenes and animals, and supports Vive controller interaction.
In addition, DeepStream VR has launched a meditation application called Glow!, which uses mindfulness to treat pain.
It immerses the player in a distant, forest of fireflies filled with fireflies, with a pair of "golden bubble hands", holding hands to attract fireflies, and opening hands to release fireflies.
There is a heart shape on the pulse on the hand to display the reading from the heart rate monitor. The more relaxed you are, the more you can attract fireflies and the lower your heart rate.
When you are in the most relaxed state, you can attract all the fireflies, then put them in a lantern floating in the air to make it glow and heat!
Jun Mordor think they are very creative.
But most importantly, they have been clinically tested to replace morphine and become a new "drug-grade" solution!
