We conducted an open, randomised controlled trial of a digital health platform application (app) in 41 COPD patients recruited following hospital admission with an acute exacerbation.

In these settings ‘virtual’ forms of nature may also have mood-related benefits (e.g. reducing boredom) but it has been difficult to separate effects of nature content from those of delivery mode. The present laboratory-based study … Continue reading What is the best way of delivering virtual #nature for improving mood?: An experimental comparison of high definition TV, 360º video, and computer generated virtual reality
