Area of Science:

Medical Technology
Virtual Reality Applications
Sensory Stimulation Research

Context:

Patients on enteral nutrition often lack sensory experiences from food.
This deficit can negatively impact appetite and recovery.
Existing methods for nutritional support lack multi-sensory engagement.

Purpose:

To develop an immersive virtual reality (VR) sham feeding device.
To integrate audio, visual, and olfactory stimuli for a more realistic dining simulation.
To test the usability of this novel VR device in patients.

Summary:

A multidisciplinary team developed a VR sham feeding device using 3D modeling and a virtual engine.
The device presents realistic dining scenarios, chewing sounds, and food aromas.
Usability testing with 10 patients showed positive feedback on visual clarity, sound appropriateness, and olfactory realism.

Impact:

The VR device successfully integrated multi-sensory stimuli and passed usability tests.
It expands VR applications in healthcare, particularly for patients unable to eat orally.
Potential applications include surgical patients, those with eating disorders, and appetite loss, improving recovery and patient experience.
