Key result
Visuo-respiratory paradigms using virtual reality may foster insights into respiratory mechanisms and lead to the development of immersive digiceuticals to alleviate dyspnea.
Why the study?
Breathing has unique characteristics among autonomic functions, generating rich afferent traffic, linking to bodily movements, and possessing dual automatic and voluntary control related to consciousness.
This review proposes that visuo-respiratory paradigms using virtual reality could lead to immersive digiceuticals for alleviating respiratory suffering.

May support VR-based dyspnea interventions; leaves open clinical translation pending prospective trials.
Betka et al. (2022) conducted a review in Respiratory suffering and dyspnea. Immersive VR-based digital health tools (digiceuticals) was evaluated. Visuo-respiratory paradigms using virtual reality may foster insights into respiratory mechanisms and lead to the development of immersive digiceuticals to alleviate dyspnea.
