Indications

Before a procedure

During a procedure

Central and peripheral blocks
Acts under local anaesthesia
Orthopedic surgery: hand, knee, hip
Oncology: lumpectomy, mastectomy, prostatectomy
Port, catheter, puncture, injection, angioplasty, varicose veins, perfusion, dressings
Bronchial endoscopy, digestive endoscopy, ureteroscopy, lithotripsy

After a procedure

In practice

The solution can be pre-presented to the patient in an anesthesia consultation using the marketing materials provided by Healthy Mind.
The principle and the objective of the solution are explained to the patient just before its use, the caregiver can use the caregiver's speech provided.
The patient chooses the therapeutic theme according to his or her preferences and the caregiver sets the immersion and keeps control of it during the session.
The duration of the session, up to 80 minutes, can be reduced or extended at any time via the control interface.
All equipment is disinfectable following the hygiene protocol provided by Healthy Mind.

Virtual Reality Assisted Anesthesia (VRAA) during Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Report of 115 Cases— Analysis of Physiological Responses

Authors:

Mosso Vázquez J.L., Wierderhold B.K., Miller I., Mosso Lara D., Wierderhold M.D.

Results:

Significant decrease in pain perception (-22%) and visceral response (-8% respiratory rate, -32% salivation) in the virtual reality group compared to the control group during an upper gastroscopy.

Testimonial

The virtual reality immersion allows to focus the patient on a soothing universe and activate the diffuse noxious inhibitory control, like hypno-analgesia, but with a greater ergonomics and without the need for personnel trained in these techniques. The Healthy Mind solution allowed me to propose, instead of a general anaesthesia, a pleasant and relaxing experience for not very painful but anxiety-provoking.
The experiment is conclusive!
