CARE IMX: FUTURE IMMERSIVE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE IN MEDICAL AND HOME SETTINGS

News

About CARE IMX

The rising accessibility of immersive media technologies opens the opportunity to use them easily in in-hospital and home environments for healthcare. The possibility to completely immerse users or patients in virtual environments, or to augment their surroundings, while tracking their movements and physiological reactions, provide new ways to induce or analyze user experiences. In the healthcare context, immersive media give new opportunities for diagnosis through the study of patient behaviors in controlled environments, as well as rehabilitation, by enabling patients to train in specific and personalized controlled tasks. In an at-home context, immersive media give opportunities to monitor and train mental and physical skills in order to improve users’ health and/or well-being.

Care IMX is a half-day workshop of the IMX 2023 Conference, bringing together interdisciplinary medical, technological and social science researchers.

Call for Papers

We are looking for submissions on the various topics related to care IMX:

Participant should submit a 4-page short paper or 2-page position or demonstration paper, outlining their perspective or experience with respect to the workshop topics In order to promote collaboration with the industrial community, we will allow practitioners to submit a short Prezi, Keynote, Powerpoint, video presentation, or demonstration that would allow them to efficiently delineate and express their main points, in place of a paper.

Keynote: Virtual Reality in Mental Health – A Self-Counselling Approach

Extensive research into virtual reality and its applications started in the 1990s. To date there have been over 1,700,000 scientific publications and patents that mention the terms “virtual reality”, and about 5% of these specifically include the term “mental health”. Early work concentrated on specific phobias such as fear of heights and flying, and then expanded into social phobia and general anxiety disorders, and more complex syndromes such as depression. It has most commonly been used in research in the context of exposure and cognitive behavioural therapy. The evidence suggests that the results are at least as good as conventional in vivo treatment. VR has also been used in the study and treatment of psychotic illnesses such as paranoia. In this talk I will review research in this field and move on to discuss a particular paradigm that makes use of VR for self-counselling, including its role in helping people to overcome obesity.
