Clinical trials

The aim of this study is to test if a system consisting of a wearable device measuring heartbeats and steps, together with daily communication with a chatbot on the smartphone asking the patients about their symptoms and giving tips, can reduce unplanned hospital readmissions and improve well-being in advanced cancer and severely ill patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of virtual reality therapy in dialysis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does virtual reality improve symptom burden in dialysis patients and improve their mental wellbeing? Over a period of one month, one virtual reality therapy session of 30 minutes will be performed during each regular hemodialysis session. Since we will conduct a monocentric, crossover randomized controlled trial, the participants act as their own control group.
