The Influence of Virtual Reality on Blood Parameters
Sponsor: Van Creveldkliniek
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn what the impact of exposure to virtual reality content is on the levels of stress-related blood values in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is: * To compare the levels of stress-related biomarkers before and after relaxing VR-content (Relax Visit); * To compare the levels of stress-related biomarkers before and after stress-inducing VR-content (Rollercoaster Visit). Researchers will compare the Relax and Rollercoaster Visit to see if there is a relationship between the relaxing and stress-inducing VR content on stress-related blood values. Participants will be asked to watch relaxing or stress-inducing VR content for approximately five minutes. Blood will be withdrawn before and after intervention. After 3-5 weeks the study visit will be repeated using the other VR content.
