Brief Summary

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

This project is designed to have patients participate in a virtual environment with various tasks such as breathing exercises, games to help the brain, and techniques that promote relaxation while hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The participation in research will last about 5 days and take about 15 to 45 minutes each day.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a research study about interacting and engaging in strategies to promote relaxation, improve mood, and stimulate thinking in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the hospital; called PARTNER. PARTNER is played by using a readily available Virtual Reality headset while patients are in the ICU. The researchers hope to learn if engaging with exercises for emotional health and cognitive function reduces delirium and loneliness in the hospital. If patients agree, the patients will be asked to play PARNTER, with a Virtual Reality (VR) device to connect them to a virtual environment with games and/or relaxing scenes while in the ICU. The Virtual environment may include things such as breathing exercise, mindfulness training, and relaxation techniques.
