Abstract

PRinVR (Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Virtual Reality) programme developed by Concept Health Technologies is a real-time remotely supervised VR-based intelligent pulmonary rehabilitation service for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients (COPD) in North Lincolnshire andStaffordshire in the UK. PRinVR programme is unique as it provides a means to provide advanced care to patients in their homes contrary to existing care through either face-to-face or online rehabilitation training programmes. This case study presents how a home-based PRinVR programme can support the NHS work towards their net zero targets and become a greener consumer by cutting the both patients’ and clinicians’ need to travel as well as reducing the populations’ overall reliance on healthcare.
