This project aims to create and improve a VR-based breathing exercise program for patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). It involves three phases: (1) developing an interactive VR application with guided breathing exercises and real-time biofeedback tailored for ILD patients, (2) testing its feasibility by evaluating usability and acceptability, and (3) refining the intervention based on feedback from the feasibility study.
