Adjuvant Method for the Interface of Psychosomatic Approaches and Technology for Improving Medical Outcomes

A method for the interface of psychosomatic approaches and technology for immediate change of psychosomatic state and improving medical outcomes comprising steps of:

• (a) using plurality of bio- and neurofeedback sensors to continuously collect input data on said patient's psychosomatic state and using that data to establish baseline and determine the appropriate time for the next module;
• (b) presenting output of a virtual reality (VR) segment comprising a plurality of sensory experiences so as to distract and disengage said patient's attentional resources from the current distressed state via immersion;
• (c) combining guided biofeedback and neurofeedback training and hypnosis principles, facilitated by immersive VR animated modules, to induce a relaxed state in said patient for predetermined time period or until desired physiological markers are achieved, as measured by said sensors;
• (d) guiding said patient through either a hypnotic or guided suggestion module, depending on level of hypnotizability determined by the input data, where said patient will be trained how to utilize attitudes and expectations to alter their psychosomatic state;
• and
• (e) whereby said patient will be able to achieve immediate alleviation of symptoms and/or change of distressed state regardless of said patient's abilities, distress level, health problem or associated medical treatment thus inducing immediate beneficial psychosomatic response, measurable health benefit, enhanced expectations and increased sense of self-efficacy.
