Virtual Reality–Based Habituation to Care - Fondation Saint Hélier | SPX Awards 2026

Discover the 10 shortlisted projects of the #SPXAwards2026! An official competition organized by Shared Patient Experience empowering #PatientExperience initiatives in three impactful categories. 🧠 Virtual Reality–Based Habituation to Care for People with Disabilities 🔍 The “Virtual Reality Habituation to Care” project is led by the Saint-Hélier Lab, bringing together clinicians and researchers in close partnership with patient associations, healthcare and medico-social organisations, independent professionals, and institutional partners such as the National Health Insurance and the Malakoff Humanis Handicap Foundation. The project uses immersive virtual reality to prepare people with disabilities, particularly those with autism spectrum disorders, for medical procedures that may generate anxiety or refusal of care. Through 360° scenarios viewed with a VR headset and guided via a tablet, users can progressively discover a care situation before experiencing it in real life. Co-designed with users, families and healthcare professionals from the Handiaccès 35 program, the solution currently includes 4 scenarios covering 9 common types of care and can be adapted to individual sensitivities, even when the real care setting differs from the filmed environment. A first study assessing acceptability among professionals and caregivers has just been completed and highlights the strong added value of a ready-to-use solution, as professionals do not necessarily project themselves into creating their own scenarios. Early feedback is very positive, with patients who previously experienced repeated care failures now able to access care in improved conditions, leading to a significantly better care experience. 👩‍⚕️A project by ‪@associationsaint-helier3420‬ 🏆Category "Patient experience as a driver of innovation" 🗳️ Did you like this project?
