ShineVR Chronic Pain

 

The world’s first scalable, data-driven, hyper-personalised, immersive therapeutic platform for Chronic Pain.

 

Chronic pain is one of the costliest health problems in the world. It affects 20% of the world’s population. Increased medical expenses, lost income, lost productivity, compensation payments, legal charges and opioid use disorder are some of the consequences. A recent study has identified a link between opioid use disorder and chronic pain.

ShineVR has been piloted with a chronic pain patient which has resulted in no pain perception during use, and a 33% reduction in pain perception after use.

“There's a huge need for non pharmacological treatments for patients with chronic pain. CBT and other psychological approaches to pain management have been shown to be really effective. There's a growing body of research evidence showing that the effects of CBT can be magnified through the use of VR. Shine VR has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes in terms of perception of chronic pain.”

Research Papers

CBT is effective for Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP)

Study

Evaluation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Improving Pain, Fear Avoidance, and Self-Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusion

“CBT is beneficial in patients with CLBP for improving pain, disability, fear avoidance, and self-efficacy in CLBP patients.”

Study

Long-term results of an intensive cognitive behavioral pain management program for patients with chronic low back pain: a concise report of an extended cohort with a minimum of 5-year follow-up

Conclusion

“Selected and motivated patients with longstanding CLBP improve fast after an intensive combined physical and psychological program in daily functioning, pain and quality of life. Positive 1-year results are maintained, and healthcare utilization was still reduced at a minimum of 5-year follow-up.”

Digital CBT works

Study

Randomized-controlled trial assessing a digital care program versus conventional physiotherapy for chronic low back pain

Conclusion

“In conclusion, this study supports the comparable effectiveness of a fully-remote digital intervention for CLBP patients compared to high-intensity, evidence-based, in-person physiotherapy. Similar improvements were noted in both groups, as well as high adherence and satisfaction, with lower dropout rates in the digital group.”

Increased retention of information/neuroscience around matching activation zones

Study

Neuroscience of Virtual Reality: From Virtual Exposure to Embodied Medicine

Conclusion

“But why is VR so effective? Here, the following answer is suggested: VR shares with the brain the same basic mechanism—embodied simulations.”

VARK Presentation model and Bloom's Taxonomy proven to increase efficacy of eHealth eLearning

Study

A Health eLearning Ontology and Procedural Reasoning Approach for Developing Personalized Courses to Teach Patients about Their Medical Condition and Treatment

Conclusion

“In this paper, we present a novel methodological framework for developing a personalized course to teach patients about their medical condition and associated treatment. We uniquely combine an eLearning ontology with precompiled plans to allow for personalization across levels of comprehension, learning styles based on the VARK presentation model, and Bloom’s taxonomy. We demonstrate the framework’s generality and versatility using two use cases and assess its validity and perceived usefulness with collaborators, including three clinical specialists and six patient representatives.”
