First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tested whether a virtual reality (VR) app is practical and welcome for use on psychiatric inpatient wards. Researchers worked with patients and staff to design and improve the app, then offered drop-in sessions for 16 patients to try it. The goal was to see if VR could help ease symptoms and improve the ward experience, not to cure any condition.
