#DailyDealflow: Every year, almost 800,000 people in the U.S. face the challenges of strokes, causing long-term issues and significant costs. Introduction: If you're a healthcare professional dealing with stroke patients, you know there's a crucial need for better and more innovative solutions. The financial burden, totaling $53 billion between 2017 and 2018, highlights the urgency for improved ways to help with stroke recovery. Now, there's an exciting development called "Spellcasters," a virtual reality (VR) therapy tailored for stroke survivors. It involves therapeutic arm exercises and spellcasting in a virtual world, following the proven method of repetitive practice. This VR experience provides instant feedback and even has a multiplayer option for collaborative rehabilitation. Competitive Benefits: "Spellcasters" uses VR to redefine how we approach neurorehabilitation, making therapy more engaging and adaptable. The multiplayer feature creates a supportive community, potentially boosting motivation and improving outcomes for patients. Call to Action: If you're a healthcare professional, consider exploring the potential of "Spellcasters" to transform stroke rehabilitation. Let's work together to integrate this innovative VR therapy into our practices, improving patient care and contributing to advancements in stroke recovery. Calling all #NeurorehabilitationSpecialists, #MedicalResearchers, #StrokeRehabilitationTherapists, #PhysicalTherapists, and #OccupationalTherapists. We’d love to collaborate with you.

The intersection between health and technology is a huge growth area - and is saving lives. Virtual reality is being used to train doctors to spot signs of sepsis, enabling healthcare professionals to train experientially in a safe and realistic environment, without endangering patients. ... #healthcare #virtualreality #vr #healthtrends

One of our research partners at Logan Hospital, Dr Leslie Gan, presented at the Logan and Beaudesert Health Service Research Symposium 2024, last week. Here she is talking about the #DIAMONDproject's Attention Atlas. The #AttentionAtlas (AA) is a novel virtual reality attention assessment platform assessing 'neglect' in visuospatial attention. Deficits in visuospatial #attention, known as 'neglect', are common following brain injury, but underdiagnosed and poorly treated. This can result in long-term cognitive #disability. In clinical settings, neglect is most often assessed using simple pen-and-paper tests, which cannot characterise the full spectrum of neglect. Could the Attention Atlas fill this gap?

Stephanie E. Crowe, Bahareh Shahri, Thammathip Piumsomboon, Simon Hoermann, and Annalu Waller, all affiliated with the University of Canterbury and the University of Dundee, explore the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in brain injury rehabilitation. Their research addresses how traditional communication between therapists and patients can be effectively adapted to digital formats, crucially impacting the therapeutic alliance (TA), which relies heavily on interpersonal bonds and communication. Through observations and semi-structured interviews, the study highlights notable shifts in patient-therapist interactions with the introduction of VR: informal dialogue decreased, yet shared laughter and therapist feedback saw an uptick. Despite the visual disconnection imposed by VR headsets, therapists maintained engagement through guiding gestures and verbal communication. Interviews underscored the importance therapists place on rapport-building, emphasizing mutual reliance for expertise and reassurance. This research suggests that while VR can enhance traditional rehabilitation practices, it also presents challenges in maintaining effective collaboration and communication. Future VR systems must be designed with a human-centered approach, incorporating features that address these interactional shifts to ultimately improve therapeutic outcomes for acquired brain injury (ABI) rehabilitation.
