Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients randomized to the study group, will be provided with the VR headset and sensors. The VR exposure will take place before the ET procedure, during their routine pre-transfer waiting period, in a private room. The patient will be able to choose between three different calming VR environments (3 scenes: beach sunset, palm tree patio or redwood forest) and will be exposed to the chosen VR environment for a continuous duration of 15-30 minutes. The VR exposure will be passive, and the patient can control her observation inside the environment by herself, simply by moving her head. During this period, at any time and for any reason, the patient can discontinue the use of the VR session simply by self-removing the helmet
