In recent years, technology<\/strong> has played a crucial role<\/strong> in improving various medical practices. A clear example of this is the use of virtual reality<\/strong> to reduce fear and pain<\/strong> during pediatric procedures<\/strong>. Innoarea Projects<\/a><\/strong>, in collaboration with Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera (CEU UCH)<\/a><\/strong>, has developed an immersive virtual reality experience that has proven to be highly effective<\/strong> in pediatric vaccination. Below, we will explain in more detail the project and its results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Virtual Reality Experience for Pediatric Vaccination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innoarea Projects<\/a><\/strong> embarked on developing a virtual reality experience<\/strong> aimed at alleviating the fear and pain<\/strong> experienced by children<\/strong> during vaccination<\/strong>. This technology was implemented in collaboration with the research team from the Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy at Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera<\/strong>. The project was conducted at the Tres Forques Health Center in Valencia, where a clinical trial<\/strong> involving 162 children took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual reality experience created by Innoarea Projects<\/a><\/strong> immersed children in an interactive and engaging environment<\/strong> during the vaccination process. To be more specific, the experience involves a series of fun minigames<\/strong> where children must complete puzzles<\/strong> and interact with animals. Equipped with virtual reality goggles<\/strong>, children were able to explore virtual worlds and participate in activities that distracted their attention<\/strong> from the medical procedure. This immersive distraction<\/strong> was compared with standard distraction techniques used in the control group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
