Method of recommending vr activities based on patient assessment responses
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240032833A1) outlines a method for recommending virtual reality (VR) activities based on assessment responses from a patient. The process involves receiving assessment responses related to the patient's mental or physical conditions, determining a patient status category based on these responses, accessing data on various VR activities, selecting a subset of activities suitable for the patient's conditions, and providing these activities as recommendations. The method also includes updating the recommendations based on new assessment responses and biometric measurements, adjusting assessment responses based on discrepancies with biometric data, and considering patient profiles for personalized recommendations.
Furthermore, the method includes calculating assessment response values, normalizing biometric measurements, and selecting VR activities based on the patient's status category and available data. The process involves adjusting assessment responses based on biometric measurements, generating patient status categories, and providing tailored VR activity recommendations. Biometric measurements can include heart rate, respiration, temperature, voice tone, eye movement, and neural activities, among others. The method aims to enhance the effectiveness of VR therapy by personalizing recommendations based on patient assessments and biometric data, ultimately improving the overall patient experience and outcomes.
