Ability of a Virtual-reality Based Solution Aiming to Reduce Patient Burden Related to Repetitive Intravenous Perfusions. A Proof-of-concept Study in Hemophilia Patients Receiving Prophylactic Factor VIII or Factor IX Infusions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Virtual-reality (VR) Based Solution for Hemophilia. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The main aim is to describe how the treatment burden and challenges of participants, relatives, and doctors during regular Factor VIII and Factor IX infusions to treat hemophilia evolve using a virtual-reality (VR) based solution. The study also aims to find out how well the VR based solution is tolerated and how satisfied the participants, relatives, and doctors are with it. The VR-based solution includes a mobile phone app and a 3D mask. Participants will use the VR-based solution while receiving prophylactic Factor VIII and Factor IX infusions for 4 weeks at home. Participants will visit the clinic for the last infusion; at this time data will be collected from participants, relatives, and doctors

Timeline
Interventions
VR-based solution comprises a mobile phone application including explanation on the different steps to be followed to perform infusions in satisfactory conditions, notably as regards safety, as well as VAS for pain and anxiety to be completed at each Factor VIII or Factor IX infusion between inclusion and the Week 4 visit. It also comprises a 3D mask (to be used before or during infusions) including simulation of the infusions themselves (before infusion) and a relaxing and distracting content (during and after infusions).
