REALICA offers immersive distraction and relaxation experiences to support people undergoing cancer treatment or living with frailty. Virtual environments, audio content and guided relaxation provide a different focus of attention at selected moments during care.
Typical areas of application
Oncology and infusion therapies
short sessions during chemotherapy and other treatments, compatible with monitoring and care.
Repeated and prolonged treatments
moments of relaxation during sessions and ongoing care pathways.
Prolonged hospital stays
welcomed experiences during periods of waiting or rest while awake.
Care for people living with frailty
support during bedside care, venous access and wound dressings, when appropriate and desired.
An approach adapted to the person
Content and duration are agreed with consideration for preferences, fatigue, symptoms and the ability to communicate. The patient can request a break, stop or choose to repeat the experience. The aim concerns the quality of the care experience, integrated with the clinical plan and relationships with family members and staff.
