Summary

This small study tested whether an AI-powered virtual reality app could safely provide mental health support to 22 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who also had mild anxiety or depression. The goal was to see if the digital session was practical and acceptable, not to prove it works. Researchers measured safety, patient satisfaction, and changes in pain scores before and after the session.
