Abstract:
A biofeedback virtual reality (VR) system and methods are provided for improving, optimizing, or minimizing the physiological or psychological effects of a medical condition, such as a physiological or psychological condition of a patient. The biofeedback VR System monitors one or more physiological parameters while presenting an immersive VR environment. The system and method comprise a closed-loop biofeedback system where a user (i.e., patient) observes a VR Experience provided by the VR System. The VR System monitors one or more physiological parameters while guiding the user to an improved (or optimized) physiological state through improvement of one or more of the physiological parameters. In some embodiments, a social experience is included in the VR, where the user engages with one or more other users in the VR Experience.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of treating a patient using a virtual reality experience, the method comprising:\n providing a virtual reality system, the system comprising a virtual reality computing and display system, which provides one or more virtual reality experiences to a patient, each individual virtual reality experience having one or more conditions that can be controlled or altered by the patient; providing one or more physiological sensors for positioning on a patient body, each sensor, individually being capable of monitoring at least one physiological signal from the patient body to produce physiological data; transmitting the virtual reality experience to the patient; monitoring the one or more physiological signals from the patient body; transmitting one or more physiological signals to the to the computing system, the computing system converting the physiological signals to physiological data and altering the virtual reality experience in response to the physiological data; and varying the virtual reality experience of the patient in response to the received physiological data of the patient in a biofeedback loop until a set time or goal for each individual virtual reality experience is met.
