Immersive Simulation Program

沉浸式模拟程序（ISP）及其工作人员提供广泛的服务，包括科学咨询，技术咨询和支持，作为开发人员的管道，数据收集，研究管理，数据准备和分析，以及安排必要的科学材料。ISP还从事与研究和医疗保健社区以及公众有关的虚拟现实和相关技术的交流和教育。在本报告所述年度，ISP团队为四个社会和行为研究处发起的研究项目和一个在更广泛的NIH范围内发起的项目提供服务。综合系统方案小组还进行了能力建设研究。 其中包括： - 一项评估患者种族/民族和社会经济地位对医生个体化用药相关决策的影响的研究（PI：博纳姆）：科技咨询、数据收集、数据编码和管理 - 关于鼓励家庭间遗传风险交流的项目（PI：Koehly）：虚拟现实环境规划和咨询，研究设计咨询 - 基因-环境相互作用概念交流的干预研究（PI; Persky）：虚拟环境设计咨询和研究 - ADHD干预研究（PI：Shaw）：咨询 - 一项关于酒精使用障碍治疗的研究（PI：Leggio）：咨询和数据争论 - 使用眼动追踪评估遗传条件识别方法的项目（PI：所罗门） 我们还在其他几个项目和分析中支持数据分析方面发挥了更小的作用。 我们还为评估慢性疼痛VR方法的校外临床试验贡献了我们的专业知识（PI：Spiegel） 除了直接服务于社会和行为研究分支和其他NIH同事的研究需求外，ISP团队还进行研究和评估，以扩大自身的能力。在本报告年度，ISP团队致力于专注于应用机器学习方法来分析VR中的物理运动行为的项目。我们开展了一些试点工作，旨在改善使用虚拟现实和增强现实进行医疗保健和研究程序的患者的体验，并分析了社会变量在影响VR的心理和生理反应方面的作用。我们还编写了一份评估减少晕动病方法的议定书。

A wide range of services are provided by the Immersive Simulation Program (ISP) and its staff including, scientific consultation, technological consultation and support, acting as a conduit to developers, data collection, study administration, data preparation and analysis, and arranging necessary scientific materials. The ISP also engages in communication and education about virtual reality and related technologies to the research and health care communities, and to the public. During this reporting year, four Social and Behavioral Research Branch-initiated research projects, and one project initiated within the wider NIH have been served by the ISP team. The ISP team has also conducted capacity-building research. These include: - A study assessing the influence of patient race/ethnicity and socio-economic status on physician decision-making related to personalized medicine (PI: Bonham): Scientific and technological consultation, data collection, data coding and management - A project related to encouraging communication about genetic risk among families (PI: Koehly): virtual reality environment planning and consultation, study design consultation - A study of an intervention to communicate about gene-environment interaction concepts (PI; Persky): virtual environment design consultation and research - A study about ADHD intervention (PI: Shaw): consultation - A study about treatments for alcohol use disorder (PI: Leggio): consultation and data wrangling - A project using eye tracking to assess methods of identification for genetic conditions PI: Solomon) We have also played a more minor role in supporting data analysis in several other projects and analyses. We have also contributed our expertise to extramural clinical trials assessing VR approaches for chronic pain (PI: Spiegel) In addition to directly serving the research needs of the Social and Behavioral Research Branch and other NIH colleagues, the ISP team also conducts research and assessments to expand its own capabilities. During this reporting year the ISP team has worked on projects focused on application of machine learning approaches to analyze physical movement behavior in VR. We have engaged in some pilot work aimed at improving the experiences of patients undergoing healthcare and research procedures using virtual and augmented reality, and have analyzed the role of social variables in influencing psychological and physiological responses to VR. We have also prepared a protocol for the evaluation of approaches for motion sickness reduction.
