Brief Summary

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

The goal of this substudy (main study NCT04498585) is to determine the feasibility of applying virtual reality stimulation to patients in the intermediate care unit. Patients on this ward are generally more awake and alert than patients in the intensive care unit, thereby they are able to provide feedback about their experience. As the intermediate care unit is not without stress, examining the physiological parameters (e.g., heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, etc.) could also provide telling information as to the calming effect of virtual reality. The movements of these patients are also recorded using accelerometers which will provide valuable information about the characteristics of the movements that patients make while confined to their beds. These movements can act as a reference for further investigation into movements related to delirium which is a secondary outcome measure of the main study.
