VR as a Palliative Tool
Hadar Kfir
This thesis began with a simple observation — the hospital atmosphere is typically a negative one, and many patients experience panic, anxiety and even chronic pain. These emotional responses affect the healing process and can influence the effectiveness of the treatment. This thesis proposes a virtual reality platform that will allow the patient to build an environment that provides comfort and distraction while also offering an opportunity to socialize while being safe.
