Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly being used in healthcare as an (adjunct) intervention to treat patients. Therapeutic VR could be used for a variety of treatment goals, including patient education, distraction or exposure therapy. The developers plan to produce reporting guidelines for therapeutic VR interventions for patients in healthcare. The group has completed a systematic literature review to identify potential items for the reporting guidelines, based on >100 scientific publications of VR in healthcare studies. Preparation for a modified, three step, e-Delphi study among experts is underway and this will be followed by a consensus meeting to finalise the guideline.
The developers plan to publish this reporting guideline in 2025, as an open access document.
