论文摘要
在本文中，我们介绍了新颖的虚拟现实（VR）和增强现实（AR）治疗方法，以改善姑息治疗中患者的心理健康，这是基于对临床心理学家的访谈，该临床心理学家成功实施了对香港医院系统中姑息治疗患者的VR辅助干预措施。我们的VR和AR辅助干预措施是对传统姑息治疗疗法的改编，这些疗法同时促进患者与家人和朋友的沟通，同时由于身体虚弱和COVID-19的相关限制，在医院孤立。我们提出的第一个系统是一个网络，元评估的平台，可用于姑息治疗患者，可与治疗师，家人和朋友一起创建定制的虚拟环境，起着“生命评论”和“回忆疗法”的沉浸式和协作版本的作用。第二个提议的系统将调查在AR环境中使用混合现实电视和触觉的使用，这将使姑息治疗患者能够在虚拟空间中身体和家人身体感受到亲朋好友的感觉，从而增加了在该环境中的存在和沉浸感。
In this paper we introduce novel Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) treatments to improve the psychological well being of patients in palliative care, based on interviews with a clinical psychologist who has successfully implemented VR assisted interventions on palliative care patients in the Hong Kong hospital system. Our VR and AR assisted interventions are adaptations of traditional palliative care therapies which simultaneously facilitate patients communication with family and friends while isolated in hospital due to physical weakness and COVID-19 related restrictions. The first system we propose is a networked, metaverse platform for palliative care patients to create customized virtual environments with therapists, family and friends which function as immersive and collaborative versions of 'life review' and 'reminiscence therapy'. The second proposed system will investigate the use of Mixed Reality telepresence and haptic touch in an AR environment, which will allow palliative care patients to physically feel friends and family in a virtual space, adding to the sense of presence and immersion in that environment.
