Researchers in the Pain Studies Lab, including neuroscientist Dr. Zahra Ofoghi, biomedical engineers Armin Froozanfar and Sara Khalilipicha, and computer scientist Efe Erhan, have updated one of the lab鈥檚 immersive VR systems for this purpose. Initially built and continually tested since 2011, the team upgraded their project according to their on-going co-design work with patient-partners and findings from their clinical, technical, and design research.¹

Taking a patient-centred systems approach, the Virtual Meditative Walk integrates VR with biosensors, data visualization, and artificial intelligence (AI), all of which work together to help patients learn to better understand and manage their persistent pain via Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). As it evolved, the VMW was continually tested among diverse people, in clinical and home contexts, in short and longitudinal research studies, and across disciplines ranging from health to computer science and design.¹

Logan and Gromala met at a Consensus Meeting at Sick Kids in Toronto and, with approximately 30 pediatric pain experts, they co-developed guidelines for researchers and clinicians as they adopt VR for clinical use. At the recent vMED conference at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, for example, presenters demonstrated that the number of research papers about VR has grown in the past 10 years to over 30,000 papers worldwide.²
