Project Summary

Mental issues are increasing day by day in Pakistan. Scientific research has proved that these mental issues lead to different kinds of phobias in a person. The alarming situation right now is that people feel shy of being diagnosed with mental issues. If someone tries to get treatment of his problem, our physiatrists have conventional methods to treat mental diseases that take time. We are adding technology in this field. Our business project is an amalgamation of several branches of Computer Engineering namely E-health, Virtual Reality, and Gaming. We will use game development software to develop a virtual environment for the diagnosis and treatment of two phobias. First is fear of height and second is fear of spiders. This project will be a success in the industry because no such work is done on a commercial scale. This will be the first project having long-term benefits. Firstly, we are targeting physiatrists in all private and public sectors of Lahore and then of other countries. 

Project Objectives

Our objective is to understand the concept of Virtual Reality and Phobias of height and spider (lizard optional) to help psychiatrists add reliability in their diagnosis for height and animal phobias by means of modern technology

The goals that must be achieved are mentioned as follows:

1. Develop virtual environment related to height and animal phobia that can accelerate the effect of phobia on patients
2. To cure the severity of phobia using virtual envirnment and real time devices.

Project Implementation Method

Firstly, the person will fill the questionaire and we will check his/her phobia level. Then he/her will use VR Device to see the environment. There will be five levels for both phobias. We also plug the oxymeter device with our finger to check the oxygen rate and heartbeat level. After the complete process we will get our final results. By analyzing the result we will have more sessions of that practice. In this way we will be able to minimize his/her phobia.

Benefits of the Project

The benefits of VR treat for phobias is as follows

• Fear of height is mainly treated by trying different therapies which is usually a slow process. If we include technology in it, it will be more effective in terms of time and cost.  
• It can be done in a safe office setting, and the patient has control to turn off the stimulus as needed.
• It is convenient for psychiatrists.
• Some research has found it to be as effective as real-life exposure therapy for reducing anxiety
