A PCET patient uses AppliedVR virtual reality. Pain Consultants of East Tennessee welcomed Jeannette Tsuei, then director of product for AppliedVR, for two days of usability testing of a virtual reality experience designed for pain management.

Participants tried the platform and shared feedback to help AppliedVR identify opportunities for improvement.

Exploring Biofeedback and Coping Skills

The experience incorporated biofeedback intended to help users recognize their responses to stress, anxiety, and pain. It also included lessons based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with a focus on coping with the challenges of chronic pain.

The visit centered on how participants experienced and interacted with the technology. Their feedback helped inform refinements to the platform.

PCET appreciates the opportunity to contribute to the development of tools designed to support people living with chronic pain.
