EaseVRx is an immersive virtual reality (VR) system which delivers 3-D VR treatment that incorporates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), other behavioral methods, and mindfulness strategies to treat patients diagnosed with chronic pain. It is a prescription-use device which uses preloaded software content on a proprietary hardware platform to deliver treatment. The EaseVRx device, shown in the figures below, consists of an off-the-shelf VR head-mounted display (Figure 1) with added Breathing Amplifier (Figure 2) and AppliedVR developed software. The Breathing Amplifier is a mechanical attachment added to the commercially available headset which enables diaphragmatic breathing exercises designed to enhance the user's engagement by amplifying the user's exhalation into the on-board microphone. The device is also marketed with an optional hand-held controller to aid in navigating the user interface.
