Interest of Virtual Reality for the Management of Hospitalized Pregnant Patients at Risk of Preterm Delivery

Patients at high risk of preterm birth are hospitalized with an high stress for their child's future. In order to better prepare the patient to a possible preterm delivery we use to propose her a visit of the neonatology unit. However, as a result of their obstetrical condition and of the pediatric staff disponibility, this visit is not always possible. Virtual Reality (VR) is well known to provide an immersive experience while staying in a unique place. Our project is to propose a virtual visit of the delivery room, neonatology unit and intensive care unit to all hospitalized patients at risk of preterm delivery in order to prepare and decompress them.
