Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect and impact of a technology which creates a virtual reality (VR), personalized representation of a patient's endoscopic findings in comparison our standard practice (SP). Our study will compare the level of knowledge, understanding and satisfaction the patient and family have between those receiving SP and those receiving both SP and VR.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard Practice

Patients and families will be shown images of their endoscopic procedure per standard practice.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Standard Practice

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients and families will receive handouts with printed images of their endoscopic findings, as per standard practice at Boston Children's Hospital.

Virtual Reality

Patients and families will be showed the results of their endoscopic procedure via a virtual reality application called HealthVoyager, in addition to standard practice images.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HealthVoyager

Intervention Type OTHER

HealthVoyager is a virtual reality application that allows providers to create customized representations for patients and share the results of endoscopic procedures via an interactive platform. The app can show both normal and abnormal endoscopic findings and anatomy. Families will also receive a web link so that they may access the procedure results via the app at home on their smartphone or tablet.
