Pain-VR : Virtual Reality for Pain Relief

Pain VR is a virtual reality project developed for pain relief for patients who have to go through certain medical treatments. The system is designed to be immersive, age-specific for catering to the needs of the various age groups of patients, which are channeled into three categories: children aged 2-16, adults aged 17-50, and older adults above 50. Those specific groups receive tailored content, including interactive games with AI-driven cartoon characters for kids, AI therapist-guided interactions for adults, and spiritual guidance through revered figures and holy books for older adults. Apart from the core experience in VR, all users get the presence of an AI therapist, which fosters personalized emotional and psychological support for each. The project uses multi-sensory engagement and real-time feedback to provide an all-encompassing therapeutic experience aimed at alleviating physical discomfort and emotional pain. Pain VR is a non-pharmacological alternative for traditional pain management by using advanced VR technology and AI.
