Enhancing Home Dialysis Training and Retention through Interactive Virtual Reality
Nephrology Nursing Journal
Patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) face challenges in comprehending and pursuing available treatment options, particularly with the rising interest in home-based dialysis. Providers struggle to deliver effective, individualized, and cost-efficient training, leading to lower adoption and retention rates. Cannulation, machine use, and safety training remain significant barriers. Using learning science - the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning - we show that…
Patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) face challenges in comprehending and pursuing available treatment options, particularly with the rising interest in home-based dialysis. Providers struggle to deliver effective, individualized, and cost-efficient training, leading to lower adoption and retention rates. Cannulation, machine use, and safety training remain significant barriers. Using learning science - the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning - we show that interactive virtual reality (IVR) can address these barriers to home dialysis success by providing the experiential learning necessary for deeper understanding and increased competence.

A Neuroscientific Framework for Determining the Optimal Kidney Care Education and Training Solution
Nephrology Nursing Journal
Educating and training patients with chronic kidney disease, their caregivers, and health care providers effectively is critical for ensuring high-quality care and achieving successful kidney care outcomes for patients. When this is lacking, it can lead to gaps in care and knowledge that negatively impact patient health and satisfaction, while increasing health care costs. In this article, we offer a three-step framework, grounded in learning science - the marriage of psychology and the…
Educating and training patients with chronic kidney disease, their caregivers, and health care providers effectively is critical for ensuring high-quality care and achieving successful kidney care outcomes for patients. When this is lacking, it can lead to gaps in care and knowledge that negatively impact patient health and satisfaction, while increasing health care costs. In this article, we offer a three-step framework, grounded in learning science - the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning - to determine the optimal education and training solution for any given learning task. First, one identifies the learning task to be solved. Second, the learning systems in the brain that need to be engaged to learn the specific task must be identified. Finally, the learning solution that optimally engages the relevant brain system is identified. We provide details of each step and examples in which the three-step framework can be applied. In addition, we discuss the use of these learning solutions to educate nephrology care providers about roles they may be considering for their careers, and the knowledge and skills required for those roles.

Virtual Reality in Chronic Kidney Disease Education and Training
Nephrology Nursing Journal
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often struggle to understand their disease and its treatment options. The learning content they receive does not provide the experience necessary to truly understand their disease and its treatment options. Nephrology care providers struggle to convey their knowledge effectively to patients, which leads to dissatisfaction. By applying learning science (the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning), digital technologies like virtual…
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often struggle to understand their disease and its treatment options. The learning content they receive does not provide the experience necessary to truly understand their disease and its treatment options. Nephrology care providers struggle to convey their knowledge effectively to patients, which leads to dissatisfaction. By applying learning science (the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning), digital technologies like virtual reality can address these shortcomings by providing the experiential learning necessary for a deeper understanding. We show that virtual reality broadly engages multiple learning centers in the brain, thus spreading the wealth of knowledge while reducing cognitive load. We conclude by showing how virtual reality technology could be incorporated into existing CKD education and training workflows.

Using Learning Science to Optimize Chronic Kidney Disease Education for Patients and Providers
Nephrology Nursing Journal
Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their providers are dissatisfied with patients' depth of useful knowledge about CKD and its treatment options. This increases stress and decreases satisfaction, while increasing health care costs. In this article, we will apply learning science - the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning - to examine problems seen in current CKD education. The goal is to determine the characteristics of a CKD education curriculum that…
Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their providers are dissatisfied with patients' depth of useful knowledge about CKD and its treatment options. This increases stress and decreases satisfaction, while increasing health care costs. In this article, we will apply learning science - the marriage of psychology and the neuroscience of learning - to examine problems seen in current CKD education. The goal is to determine the characteristics of a CKD education curriculum that optimizes the speed of initial learning and long-term retention of CKD and treatment information. We will show that initial learning and long-term retention are optimized when microlearning is incorporated, spaced over time, and supplemented with periodic testing. We conclude by showing how spaced microlearning and testing could be incorporated into a CKD education curriculum.

COVID-19 and mental health: A review and the role of telehealth and virtual reality
Digital Medicine
On March 12, 2020, with more than 20,000 confirmed cases and almost 1000 deaths in the European Region, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. As of August 15, 2020, there are 21.5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 766,000 deaths from the virus, worldwide. Most governments have imposed quarantine measures of varied degrees of strictness on their populations in attempts to stall the spread of the infection in their communities. However, the…
On March 12, 2020, with more than 20,000 confirmed cases and almost 1000 deaths in the European Region, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. As of August 15, 2020, there are 21.5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 766,000 deaths from the virus, worldwide. Most governments have imposed quarantine measures of varied degrees of strictness on their populations in attempts to stall the spread of the infection in their communities. However, the isolation may have inflicted long-term psychological injury to the general population and, in particular, to at-risk groups such as the elderly, the mentally ill, children, and frontline healthcare staff. In this article, we offer the most up-to-date review of the effects of COVID-19 confinement on all the disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. We make data-driven predictions of the impact of COVID-19 confinement on mental health outcomes and discuss the potential role of telemedicine and virtual reality in mental health screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, thus improving the above outcomes in such a difficult time.

The Brain Science of Patient Satisfaction and Why Virtual Reality Provides an Ideal Solution
Association for Talent Development
Virtual reality (VR) is changing the way patients see, understand, and experience their health. And it's having a measurable impact on patient reported outcomes, which are critical measures in the era of value-based care. The brain science behind why VR is so powerful is clear -- and even after decades of research we're only scratching the surface.
