Virtual Reality (VR) is a 3D world created with the use of computer technology, either resembling closely the real world, or presenting an image of another, fictional environment. In other words, it is a generated environment in which we can completely immerse ourselves.

VR TierOne is a therapeutic story conveyed to the patient using the latest technology – Virtual Reality. It consists of eight therapeutic sessions – with each lasting about 20 minutes.

To do this, we have to use our solution: VR TierOne, it consists of a special VR headset that displays a three-dimensional (3D) image, and after we put it on, it isolates us completely from the elements of the outside world.

VR TierOne brings the patient in a special created virtual space and provides strong positive therapeutic suggestions, which improve the patient’s mood and reduce the level of anxiety, increasing hope for improvement and strengthening the motivation for rehabilitation.

The VR TierOne designed by us consists of two parts: a medical VR device and a therapeutic cycle – the therapeutic cycle was uploaded to the device.

The device is designed as a “plug and play” system, so after plugging it in, you can launch it with a single button. The device does not require calibration. It takes just several minutes to learn how to use it – we have created it in such a way that it is very easy to use.

Yes. The device has been successfully tested and proven to be effective. Additionally, VR TierOne is a medical device. Details of scientific research can be found in the SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH tab of this website.

GDS, PSQ and HADS are measurement tools applied in research on the effectiveness of the VR TierOne solution in the area of depression, stress and anxiety reduction. You will find further details of each of them below.

GDS (Geriatric Depression Scale) is a scale for assessing depression in the elderly designed in the 1980s. The creator of the Geriatric Depression Scale is Jerome Yesavage a geriatric psychiatrist from California. GDS helps diagnose depression in people during their autumn years. The scale consists of 30 questions which can be answered either “yes” or “no”. The maximum GDS score is 30 points. Using the scale, we can diagnose: no depression, mild depression and severe depression. The application of the reliable GDS research tool allowed us to conclude that in patients undergoing rehabilitation with the use of VR TierOne, the symptoms of depression were reduced by 37%.

PSQ (Perception of Stress Questionnaire) is the research tool created by professors Mieczysław Plopa and Ryszard Makarowski. The Polish tool is based on the 1980s PSQ by an American doctor practicing in Italy – Dr. Susan Levenstein. The PSQ questionnaire consists of 27 statements relating to the areas of external stress, intrapsychic stress and emotional tension. The examined persons determine the degree to which a given statement applies to them. The higher score in the PSQ the higher the perceived stress level. The questionnaire study was conducted before and after the intervention with the use of VR TierOne. The use of the PSQ tool in research on the effectiveness of VR TierOne allowed to discover a decrease in the level of stress in patients by 28%.

HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) is the tool created in the 1980s by British psychiatrists. The scale consists of 14 items, half of which are related to anxiety and half to depression. It is an established research tool, commonly applied by physicians to determine the level of anxiety and depression in a patient. The questionnaire is intended for self-completion by the patient. It is precisely constructed – a concise and understandable measurement tool for the patient and a convenient measuring tool for the researcher. It takes 2-5 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The HADS assessment performed after VR TierOne intervention demonstrated a 37% decrease in patients’ anxiety.

The set includes an instruction manual. It is a step-by-step explanation of how to operate the VR TierOne device. Its operation is intuitive, the therapeutic session for the patient is initiated via the touch activated interface. Our staff will conduct training after purchasing the device. If you are a patient who wants to take advantage of VR TierOne therapy, you do not have to worry about anything – the medical staff will start a therapeutic session for you.

The device interface is extremely clear and intuitive. Even people with no experience in the use of medical devices and computers, whatsoever, have no problems with using it. The device is started and stopped with a single button.

The device comes with a manual in three languages: English, German and Polish.

The VR TierOne device weighs 35 kg.

Yes. Thanks to VR headsets, the patient receives visual stimuli with the help of goggles, and the auditory stimuli – i.e. spatial sound – with use of headphones. Thanks to the involvement of both senses, the patient is more easily subjected to the phenomenon of total immersion.

The minimum requirements for the room are: height 99 in, width 158 in, length 158 in.

The screen diagonal size of the monitor is ~ 24 inch, the height of the device is 86 in, the width is 0.91 m, the length is 36 in, the arm range is 40 in, the length of the power cable is 197 in.

Proper care and removal of any dirt or soiling will enable you to prevent device failure. Regular care of the components, by keeping them clean allows you to check the condition of the device and maintain its efficiency and safety.

Caring for the VR headset:

• Never grab or lift the headset by the transmission cable.
• Protect the goggle lenses from scratching.
• Protect the goggle lenses from exposure to sunlight.
• Wipe the optics of the goggles with moist cleaning wipes.
• Use goggle adjustments – knobs and straps, do not use force solutions.
• After the session is over, hang the goggles on the dedicated hanger at the VR portal.
• Use disposable hygienic masks under the VR goggles, they protect users and prevent the inside of the goggles from getting dirty with makeup and sweat.
• The soft cover inside the goggles can be removed and cleaned under running water. Dry the cover before reassembling.

Caring for the VR headset cable:

• Do not bend the goggles data cable, a possible break is dangerous.
• Do not let the hanging part of the VR headset cable located outside the slide arm guide twist or bend.

Taking care of the device/VR portal:

• Always operate the device with clean, dry hands.
• Remove dirt from the device using a damp cloth.
• Do not use detergents for cleaning, do not pour water on the device.
• To prevent overheating of components, do not block ventilation ports.
• Keep the virtual therapy room clean.
• Avoid relocating the VR TierOne device when cleaning the room.
