Using Virtual Reality to Improve Outcomes Related to Quality of Life Among Older Adults With Serious Illnesses: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Using Virtual Reality to Improve Outcomes Related to Quality of Life Among Older Adults With Serious Illnesses: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

The use of VR in health care for serious illness care has been expanding to address pain, anxiety, and other needs in palliative care and hospice settings [17,18]. There is a need to understand the quality of research and VR’s efficacy, especially in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), as it applies to older, seriously ill adults. Several recent reviews have explored content salient to our interest, although not in the specific context of applying VR to palliative care and serious illness [19-21].

Investigating Data Diversity and Model Robustness of AI Applications in Palliative Care and Hospice: Protocol for Scoping Review

Investigating Data Diversity and Model Robustness of AI Applications in Palliative Care and Hospice: Protocol for Scoping Review

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal element in health care at large, leading to significant advancements across various medical domains, including palliative care and hospice services [1,2]. Palliative care and hospice services focus on improving the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses: palliative care provides relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness, while hospice care offers comfort for patients in the final stages of a terminal illness.

Examining the International Palliative Care Systems in Rural Areas: Protocol for a Comparative Case Study

Examining the International Palliative Care Systems in Rural Areas: Protocol for a Comparative Case Study

Past health care models focused on disease-directed care in which the recognition of the terminal nature of a patient’s condition occurs late, resulting in delayed hospice and end-of-life care [12]. However, the changes in managing chronic and life-limiting conditions to enhance the quality of life have resulted in a new model in which palliative care service is initiated at the time of diagnosis.

Health Communication About Hospice Care in Chinese Media: Digital Topic Modeling Study

In most situations, hospice care is offered at home, but it can also be offered in private or public health facilities, such as hospitals, specialized hospice facilities, or nursing homes. It is usually provided by a comprehensive unit consisting of nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains, volunteers, physicians, and hospice medical management or directors [3]. The first modern hospice was founded by Cicely Saunders, a British nurse, in 1967.
