Abstract

Healthcare organizations continue to pursue ways of offering higher-quality care to face the demand and expectations in promoting and maintaining health and in disease prevention. Currently, in neuroscience, there is an undergoing paradigm shift towards immersive neurofeedback mechanism. This will improve the user’s (or patient’s) ability to control brain activity, medical diagnoses, and rehabilitation of neurological or psychiatric disorders. Indeed, several psychological and medical studies have confirmed that virtual immersive activity is enjoyable, stimulating, and can have a healing effect. The new paradigm consists of an immersive room and three input devices: Emotiv headset (wireless non-invasive acquisition of brain waves), Kinect camera (gesture recognition), and wireless microphone (voice/speech recognition); towards immersive treatment and better quality health system in the near future.
