Tandem VR: Synchronized Nature-Based Experiences in Virtual Reality for Hospice Patients and Their Caregivers

Prisma Health-Upstate·interventional·Posted Jan 2, 2024·Updated Apr 6, 2026

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Tandem Virtual Reality for Hospice and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Background: Nature-based virtual reality (VR) and other outdoor experiences in head-mounted displays (HMDs) offer powerful, non-pharmacological tools for hospice teams to help patients undergoing end-of-life (EOL) transitions. However, the psychological distress of the patient-caregiver dyad is interconnected and highlights the interdependence and responsiveness to distress as a unit. Hospice care services and healthcare need strategies to help patients and informal caregivers with EOL transitions.
