Invincikids Special Interest Groups (SIGs) gather like minded researchers, clinicians, software developers, and industry leaders to focus on solutions and leveraging resources.
The INOVATE Pain SIG hopes to promote the creation, rigorous yet efficient evaluation, and dissemination of innovative VR-based interventions to reduce pain and improve quality of life for children.
INOVATE-Pain (Interdisciplinary Network on Virtual and Augmented Technologies for Pain management)
What we hope to achieve:
-
Continue our efforts to establish a gold standard set of outcomes to be measured in pediatric pain VR research and specific recommended measurement tools.
-
Offer opportunities for education and connections in the field.
-
Work together to advance current projects and launch new interventions in a rigorous, appropriately resourced environment.
