VIRTUAL REALITY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT REHABILITATION

Abstract

Background. Modern information technologies (machine learning, big data processing, virtual (VR) and augmented reality, etc.) open up new opportunities for specialists in various fields of activity. VR is actively developing and represents a promising area of knowledge in neurology and psychiatry. VR offers an alternative to creating stimuli that are as close to real as possible. The purpose of this work is to conduct an analytical review in the subject area and formulate prerequisites for the creation of adaptive virtual reality technologies on the path of patient rehabilitation. Materials and methods. A search request for scientific and technical literature was carried out in open Russian and international databases. More than 100 publications in the field of research were analyzed, formulating the prerequisites for creating adaptive virtual solutions. Results. The results of the study showed that VR opens up new opportunities for an individualized approach to the rehabilitation of patients, allowing more accurate assessment of progress and adaptation of rehabilitation programs to each patient. Conclusions. Virtual reality can also be used to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs and measure progress based on qualitative measurement indicators, which in turn helps determine the effectiveness of ongoing patient treatment interventions.
