Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Due to the potential for disorientation and reduced physical mobility, patients receiving palliative and end-of-life care may be unable to fully enjoy an immersive experience using a virtual reality (VR) headset. To reduce the possibility of disorientation that may arise from using a VR headset with 'LIFEView', our research team will use the 'LIFEView' prototype software loaded on a laptop and connected to a mobile high-definition 50" TV for inpatient PCU and LTC facility use, or to a patient's personal TV within their residence in the community. This setup will also improve accessibility to 'LIFEView' as a result of its relatively low-tech requirements (i.e. TV + laptop), and allows for an opportunity for patients and their loved ones to share cherished memories and stories.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
These technologies may require modification to meet the needs of PEOLC patients that are at risk for delirium, a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by fluctuating disruptions in awareness, focus and cognition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Delirium can be experienced by up to 88% of patients at the end of life (Hosie et al., 2013). Moreover, patients in PEOLC settings may also have limited mobility or may be bedbound. Due to the potential for disorientation and reduced physical mobility, patients receiving PEOLC may be unable to fully enjoy an immersive experience using a virtual reality (VR) headset. To reduce the possibility of disorientation that may arise from using a VR headset with 'LIFEView', our research team plans to use the 'LIFEView' prototype software loaded on a laptop and connected to a mobile high-definition 40-42" TV for inpatient PCU and LTC facility use, or to a patient's personal TV within their residence in the community.

'LIFEView' intervention
The 'LIFEView' session(s) involves the use of audiovisual software by Motitech AS (technology provided by and used with permission from Motitech AS). For its primary uses as Motiview, the audiovisual software was coupled to a mobile user-adapted cycle-trainer. Since a secondary benefit of the virtual cycle trip may include reminiscence which may in-turn facilitate conversation of past experiences, the audiovisual software is being adapted for use in reminiscence therapy for a palliative care population.
As there is an extensive library available to participants and 'LIFEView' sessions could potentially be longer than feasible for research personnel to conduct, each 'LIFEView' session will be limited to up to 3 videos per session or up to 1 hour of videos per session, whichever is a shorter duration. Additional post-study 'LIFEView' sessions can be provided upon request from participants.
