Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of virtual reality education technology, and in particular to a labor pain relief system, method, computer device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product based on MR technology. Background Technology
[0002] Extended Reality (XR) technology, encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), has been widely applied in the medical field. For example, MR technology is used for surgical simulation and training, maternal and infant education, telemedicine consultation, and childbirth management. By combining virtual and reality, doctors can conduct immersive surgical rehearsals, and pregnant women can gain a more intuitive understanding of diseases and treatment plans. Furthermore, MR technology can assist medical personnel in performing complex surgical procedures, improving accuracy and reducing risks. With the continuous maturation of the technology, XR has shown great potential in personalized treatment and pain relief, driving the development of precision medicine.
[0003] Currently, pain relief for pregnant women during childbirth mainly relies on medication, physical therapy, and prenatal analgesia techniques. While medications such as analgesics and anesthesia are effective, they can cause side effects and even affect fetal health, posing certain risks. Physical therapies such as heat therapy, massage, and electrotherapy have no side effects, but their effects are often temporary and it's difficult to implement personalized treatment plans. Epidural anesthesia, commonly used prenatally, effectively relieves childbirth pain, but it is complex to perform, requires specialized medical personnel, and carries certain operational risks and high costs. These methods generally have limited effectiveness, provide insufficient experience for pregnant women, and fail to address individual differences, thus failing to fully meet the diverse pain management needs of pregnant women during childbirth.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of a method for assisted relief of labor pains based on MR technology, provided in an embodiment of this specification. It employs a multi-terminal collaborative distributed architecture and includes: S1 establishes a connection between the control terminal and the target user terminal; wherein, the control terminal searches for and connects to the target user terminal; confirms that the connected target user terminal matches the target object; the target user terminal is an MR device; S2 responds to the user's original training command on the control terminal and provides the target object with a basic training program for childbirth education; S3 responds to the user's scheme configuration command on the control terminal and provides a personalized auxiliary training scheme to the target object; S4 executes each training content in the auxiliary training scheme through the target user terminal and obtains real-time feedback information of the target object; S5 adjusts the auxiliary training program based on the real-time feedback information to help alleviate the labor pains of the target subject.
[0030] Specifically: like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention adopts a multi-terminal collaborative distributed architecture, which mainly includes four modules: control terminal, user terminal, server terminal and web page terminal.
[0031] The control unit is operated by users and is used for remote monitoring, program configuration, and intervention adjustments. The users are medical personnel.
[0032] The terminal is used by the target group and is the main interactive device for conducting training and receiving interventions. The target group includes pregnant and postpartum women and pregnant and postpartum women with chronic pain.
[0033] The server mainly provides functions including target object information and user information management, identity and device verification, training plan and training record storage, and analysis report generation.
[0034] The web-based interface is designed for medical staff or administrators and includes management functions such as inputting target / user information, inputting training plans, managing equipment, and viewing training records and analysis reports.
[0035] This invention adopts a dual-terminal architecture of "medical staff control terminal + pregnant and postpartum women user terminal". Users can view the current training content, feedback information and training progress of the target object in real time through the medical staff control terminal (tablet) and dynamically adjust the treatment plan to achieve precise and personalized remote medical monitoring.
[0036] S1 establishes a connection between the control terminal and the target user terminal; wherein, the control terminal searches for and connects to the target user terminal; confirms that the connected target user terminal matches the target object; the target user terminal is an MR device; To achieve remote interaction and data synchronization, a connection must first be established between the control terminal and the target user terminal.
[0037] In the existing technology, Hoag Hospital and BehaVR jointly developed NurtureVR (such as the 586g Pico4), a VR application designed specifically for pregnant and postpartum women, which aims to support prenatal and postpartum care through immersive experiences, including pain management, stress relief, and mother-infant bonding.
[0038] However, traditional VR technology often causes motion sickness due to a mismatch between visual and vestibular information, especially affecting pregnant women. Dizziness can impact user acceptance and even prevent some pregnant women from using the technology. To reduce discomfort, it's necessary to optimize VR rendering latency, increase refresh rates (e.g., above 90Hz), and improve motion compensation algorithms. Furthermore, it's also necessary to further limit hardware costs. Based on the above considerations, to solve the aforementioned problems, this invention uses MR technology to replace pure VR. By combining virtual and real fusion, real-time environmental anchoring, and partial preservation of the real field of vision, it ensures synchronization between visual and vestibular signals, thereby reducing conflicts between the visual and vestibular systems and thus reducing motion sickness. Therefore, the user end includes a display device and a controller, wherein the display device is preferably an ultra-lightweight MR device. It is comfortable to wear and supports long-term training for target users in various scenarios such as home and hospital, breaking through the dependence of traditional VR on fixed locations.
[0039] S11 identifies the target user; The target user end refers to the end end assigned to the target object. The target user end is preferably an MR device.
[0040] S12 connects the control terminal and the target user terminal; In one embodiment of this specification, the control terminal and the target user terminal are ensured to be on the same network. The user terminal application is installed on the background portal of the user terminal according to the user manual, and the control terminal application is installed on the Android control terminal. After installation, the applications on both terminals are entered and the authorization of the prompt box is agreed.
[0041] S13 adds basic information about the target object to the control terminal; S14 will debug the target user end; Wear the target device on the target object, connect the control terminal to the target device, connect the corresponding interface of the target device, press and hold the power button to turn on the device, accompanied by a power indicator light and a prompt sound, and click the screen projection button.
[0042] S15 searches for and connects to the target user terminal on the control end; confirms that the connected target user terminal matches the target object.
[0043] In recent years, significant progress has been made in the management of maternal labor pain based on XR technology and artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
[0044] XR technology has demonstrated its potential to improve the maternal experience in labor analgesia. For example, the synchronized VR scene developed by the Italian Sbarro Health Research Organization effectively distracts attention through immersive experience, significantly reducing pain perception, i.e., a decrease in the NRS (Numerical Rating Scale), and its effectiveness has been verified in a trial of 120 pregnant women. Research from Jiangsu University in China combines VR with epidural anesthesia to alleviate anxiety and stress response and improve satisfaction. However, existing VR solutions generally have limitations such as limited content and a lack of real-time physiological data linkage adjustment, making it difficult to meet individualized and precise clinical needs.
[0045] Based on this, the present invention effectively alleviates labor pain for pregnant women by combining basic training programs and personalized auxiliary training programs with multimodal feedback and dynamic adjustment mechanisms, and continuously optimizes intervention strategies based on real-time feedback.
[0046] S2 responds to the user's original training command on the control terminal and provides the target object with a basic training program for childbirth education; After medical staff issue the initial training instructions on the control terminal, they push the basic training plan to the target user terminal, which mainly includes a childbirth education module to popularize childbirth knowledge, alleviate anxiety, and establish correct understanding.
[0047] S21 allows users to select the childbirth education function module on the control terminal and adjust the content of the explanation; The childbirth education module deeply integrates anatomical knowledge and postpartum rehabilitation guidance, providing intelligent education throughout the entire pregnancy and childbirth cycle. The module displays a 3D dynamic model to enable multi-level teaching.
[0048] S22 invokes the childbirth education function module to guide the target object to understand the childbirth mechanism.
[0049] The childbirth education module displays a 3D dynamic model.
[0050] When the childbirth education module is invoked for explanation, the target audience can see 3D virtual models related to their own childbirth (such as the spine and pelvis) in a real environment based on the target user device they are wearing. Combined with animation and voice explanation, they can intuitively understand the childbirth mechanism and achieve multi-level teaching.
[0051] At the level of childbirth mechanism, the childbirth education module simulates the electromyographic activity of uterine contractions and pelvic joint movements (real-time rendering of iliac bone rotation angle). At the level of rehabilitation teaching, the childbirth education module integrates a rectus abdominis muscle repair course, using MR spatial mapping technology to present real-time muscle group movement animations, guiding the target audience to understand the childbirth process while mastering the coordinated contraction pattern of the diaphragm and rectus abdominis muscles during abdominal breathing.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, when the target user wears the target device, a precisely modeled 3D animation of the childbirth process will be displayed in front of them. The animation demonstrates the physiological changes and correct pushing techniques at each stage of childbirth in real time.
[0053] In one embodiment of this specification, the childbirth education function is implemented in the following way: visual cues are embedded in the animation of the childbirth education function module, synchronized with voice guidance. Combining animation and voice explanation, this provides pregnant women with personalized childbirth education, clearly instructing them on when to inhale, hold their breath, and push. Simultaneously, a biofeedback mechanism is equipped, using sensors to monitor the user's actual breathing rhythm and providing real-time correction prompts in the virtual interface. This combined virtual and real training method allows pregnant women to intuitively understand the principles of childbirth mechanics, rehearse the real childbirth process in a safe and risk-free environment, and through the virtual-real fusion design of pain sources or organs, pregnant women can interact with virtual objects to gain a deeper understanding of the generation and transmission path of childbirth pain, enhancing their participation in treatment and effectively improving their understanding, cooperation, and confidence during labor.
[0054] like Figure 4As shown, the system provides an intuitive and scientific demonstration of the childbirth process to the target audience through the target user interface. Utilizing medical-grade 3D animation technology, the system accurately recreates the complete childbirth process from the first stage of labor to placental delivery, including dynamic displays of key stages such as uterine contraction mechanisms, cervical changes, and fetal descent. In terms of cognitive intervention, the system integrates the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), replacing the abstract descriptions of traditional childbirth education with scientific visualizations to help the target audience establish the correct understanding that "childbirth is a normal physiological process."
[0055] S3 responds to the user's scheme configuration command on the control terminal and provides a personalized auxiliary training scheme to the target object; Users select and configure at least one functional module in the scheme interface on the control end, and combine multiple functional modules to form an auxiliary training scheme for the target object.
[0056] The functional modules include, but are not limited to: breathing training module, cognitive training module, and relaxation training module.
[0057] The breathing training module utilizes multi-scenario visual guidance to achieve precise breathing control. Specifically, the breathing training module includes a training sub-module and a guidance sub-module. The training sub-module is preferably the Forest Breathing 478 training method. The guidance sub-module is preferably Lamaze breathing guidance.
[0058] The cognitive training module deeply integrates emotional cognitive training with multimodal biofeedback technology to achieve maternal emotional-pain intervention based on mixed reality. Specifically, the cognitive training module includes two sub-modules: a first cognitive training sub-module and a second cognitive training sub-module. The first cognitive training sub-module includes a thematic jigsaw puzzle. The second cognitive training sub-module includes a connection test.
[0059] The relaxation training module is designed for immersive intervention to address prenatal anxiety. Specifically, the relaxation training module includes a first relaxation sub-module and a second relaxation sub-module. The first relaxation sub-module, based on the influence of seasonal rhythms on the human autonomic nervous system, designs four standardized environmental modes: a first environmental mode, a second environmental mode, a third environmental mode, and a fourth environmental mode. The second relaxation sub-module is music therapy. This invention, based on neurophysiological principles, has developed a dual-module approach of "seasonal therapy" and "music therapy" to assist target individuals in relaxation.
[0060] Users configure the training content, duration, and calling order of each training function module on the control terminal to generate auxiliary training plans.
[0061] This invention requires no drug intervention, is safe and has no side effects, making it ideal for pregnant and postpartum women, especially those experiencing chronic pain. By increasing the active participation of the target population, it improves the experience of traditional labor pain management programs. This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional therapies, providing a personalized, safe, and immersive new approach to relieving labor pain.
[0062] S4 executes each training content in the auxiliary training scheme through the target user terminal and obtains real-time feedback information of the target object; Click "Start Training" on the control panel's "Start Training" interface to assist the target user in labor pain relief and rehabilitation training; guide the target user in breathing training, cognitive training, or relaxation training, and use MR virtual-real fusion technology to immerse and alleviate labor pain.
[0063] During training, biofeedback information is collected in real time and its status is assessed using a multi-dimensional scale. The displayed content and status information during training are transmitted to the control terminal as feedback for user monitoring and adjustment.
[0064] S41 If the current training content is to call the breathing training function module for breathing training, then guide the target object to receive training instructions through the breathing training function module. In one embodiment of this specification, the user configures the breathing training function module corresponding to the target object, determines the corresponding training content, and sends it to the target user terminal, so that the target object receives the training guidance on the target user terminal.
[0065] S411 calls the training function submodule based on the current training content to assist the target object in breathing training; In one embodiment of this specification, a plant dynamics algorithm is used to simulate the unfolding, glowing, and falling of leaves, corresponding to the rhythms of inhalation, breath-holding, and exhalation, helping pregnant and postpartum women to precisely regulate their respiratory cycle. Specifically, the plant dynamics algorithm is used to accurately simulate the cluster movement of leaves: during the inhalation phase (4 seconds), the leaves unfold at a rate of 0.5-1.2 cm / s; during the breath-holding phase (7 seconds), the leaves remain statically glowing; and during the exhalation phase (8 seconds), the leaves fall at a terminal speed of 0.8-1.5 m / s. This visual stimulation, consistent with biological rhythms, can reduce errors in the respiratory cycle.
[0066] S412 invokes the guidance function submodule based on the current training content to assist the target object in breathing guidance.
[0067] In one embodiment of this specification, based on scenes such as the seabed, beach, and ethereal light, natural movement is simulated using fluid dynamics and optical models to guide breathing rhythm and relieve uterine contraction pain.
[0068] Specifically, the guidance function submodule includes three scenes: Scene 1, Scene 2, and Scene 3. Scene 1 is the underwater breathing scene, simulating jellyfish movement at a frequency of 0.1-0.3 Hz using hydrodynamics. Scene 2 is the beach breathing scene, rendering tidal movements with a 12-15 second cycle based on coastal hydrological data. Scene 3 is the ethereal flowing light scene, employing an optical scattering model to present dynamic micro-light with intensity variations of 3-5 cd / m².
[0069] Based on the scenario specified in the current training content, guide the target subject to breathe.
[0070] This invention innovatively matches the optical flow stimulation of the respiratory guidance signal with the target breathing pattern, which can effectively relieve uterine contraction pain.
[0071] During this process, users can adjust the breathing training scenario according to the actual situation of the target audience.
[0072] S42 If the current training content involves calling the cognitive training function module for breathing training, then the focus of the target object is adjusted through the cognitive training function module; S421 If the current training content involves the first cognitive training sub-module, then adjust the attention of the target object based on the first cognitive training sub-module; In one embodiment of this specification, the first cognitive training submodule includes a themed jigsaw puzzle. Interacting with architectural components through the 3D jigsaw puzzle triggers positive feedback and lighting effects, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol, and increasing endorphin secretion. Specifically, an immersive 3D jigsaw puzzle nursery construction scene is presented to the target user; over 200 architectural components are generated using parametric modeling technology, their physical properties based on a real materials database.
[0073] As a preferred approach, an "enhanced aspiration" mechanism is designed to trigger personalized positive feedback when the target user assembles key components (such as a crib) using a handle; lighting effects (such as warm-toned lighting gradients) are automatically generated based on the smoothness of operation, accompanied by soothing audio. Multisensory stimulation promotes endorphin release through the limbic system-subcortical circuit.
[0074] In one embodiment of this specification, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the target user wears the target device, they feel as if they are in a carefully designed, comfortable, and relaxing environment. This scenario works through the following mechanisms: visually presenting warm sunlight, soft colors, and natural elements, and auditorily matching soothing background music and environmental sound effects. This immersive experience can effectively activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce cortisol levels. At the same time, through continuous positive environmental cues, it helps pregnant women establish a healthy understanding that "childbirth is a natural physiological process," replacing their original anxiety and fear, and achieving comprehensive relaxation from the psychological to the physiological level.
[0075] This invention enhances the sense of presence and control through detailed environmental design, such as dynamic changes in light and shadow and interactive, welcoming objects, making the cognitive intervention process natural and seamless.
[0076] S422 If the current training content involves the second cognitive training sub-module, then adjust the attention of the target object based on the second cognitive training sub-module.
[0077] In one embodiment of this specification, the second cognitive training submodule includes a connection test. Based on an fMRI-optimized N-back model, attentional concentration is assessed in real time through handle operation, serving as the level of focus. Specifically, the digit spatial arrangement involved in the connection test employs an fMRI-optimized N-back memory load model (n=1-3 adjustable). When the target object operates the haptic feedback handle, the handle's motion trajectory and operation timing data are collected in real time and input into an LSTM neural network to monitor their attentional concentration.
[0078] S43 If the current training content is to call the relaxation training function module for breathing training, then the relaxation training function module will be used to assist in the intervention of the target object's pain. S431 If the current training content involves the first relaxation function submodule, then assist in the intervention of the target object's pain sensation based on the first relaxation function submodule; In one embodiment of this specification, the first relaxation function submodule includes four environmental modes. Combining dynamic environmental changes, fractal algorithms, and neural rhythm regulation, relaxation is induced through multiple channels including touch, vision, and hearing. Specifically, the first environmental mode is a spring scene (a gentle spring breeze). In this mode, the user's hand movements are captured in real time via the target device. The motion trajectory data is analyzed by an LSTM neural network to identify pain-related features. At this time, the virtual environment enhances interactive feedback (e.g., petal touch response delay <100ms) and inhibits pain transmission by activating C-fiber tactile fibers. When the user's palm remains in a stable posture, the virtual butterfly stays still and flaps its wings in rhythm with breathing. The wing vibration frequency is synchronized with the user's real-time alpha brainwaves, promoting the release of endogenous analgesic substances.
[0079] The second environment mode is a summer scene (lotus breeze and summer rain). In this mode, the target is placed inside a classical pavilion. Fluid dynamics algorithms simulate the dynamic accumulation and sliding of raindrops on the surface of lotus leaves, allowing users to experience their own breathing and relax.
[0080] The third environmental mode is: Autumn Scene (Firefly's Faint Light). In this mode, a swarm intelligence algorithm is used to control the movement pattern of the firefly swarm, and its emission frequency is negatively correlated with the user's brainwave gamma wave activity. When the user attempts to catch it, the fireflies will dissipate following a fractal escape trajectory. This process is accompanied by audio-visual stimulation, which promotes a decrease in amygdala activity.
[0081] The fourth environment mode is: Winter Scene (Starry Sky). In this mode, constellation lines are accurately rendered based on an astronomical database, and the 3D model of the Milky Way rotates with the user's head movements. The scene color temperature is maintained within a suitable range, and the melatonin secretion rhythm is regulated through ipRGC ganglion cells.
[0082] S432 If the current training content involves the second relaxation function submodule, then the second relaxation function submodule is used to assist in the emotional calming of the target object.
[0083] In one embodiment of this specification, the second relaxation function submodule is music therapy, which is based on MR technology and creates a highly immersive relaxation scene for the target object. By providing an immersive natural scene and voice guidance, it promotes breathing regulation and emotional calming through multi-sensory collaboration.
[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, once the target user wears the device, the system presents diverse immersive relaxation scenarios, including various natural themes such as forests, beaches, and the ocean floor, which pregnant and postpartum women can freely choose according to their personal preferences. After entering a selected scenario, the system guides the pregnant or postpartum woman through gentle voice prompts combined with natural sound effects, gradually leading her in deep breathing exercises: during inhalation, elements in the virtual scene (such as waves and leaves) dynamically change accordingly, while during exhalation, soothing visual feedback is provided, creating a multi-sensory relaxation experience. This immersive design effectively helps pregnant and postpartum women regulate their breathing rhythm before childbirth, reduce anxiety levels, and achieve physical and mental relaxation.
[0085] In one embodiment of this specification, the second relaxation function submodule provides a seaside relaxation scene for the target object, presenting a 360-degree panoramic beach environment through the target user terminal, accurately simulating the audiovisual characteristics of a real coastline: the rhythm of the waves crashing on the shore is synchronized with the basic physiological rhythm of the human body.
[0086] Visually, the tidal motion is simulated using fluid dynamics algorithms, and the distribution of seashells on the beach follows fractal geometry. The dynamic elements are synchronized with the background music at the millisecond level.
[0087] S44 uses the training monitoring module to view the real-time feedback information of the target object.
[0088] S441 implements biological feedback information of the target object based on monitoring equipment; This invention enables rapid and continuous collection of physiological data by equipping a portable real-time monitor, effectively supporting clinical procedures and long-term management of pregnant and postpartum women.
[0089] Biofeedback information includes, but is not limited to: heart rate, electroencephalogram (EEG), and electromyography (EMG) signals; S442 generates status information based on biological feedback information; This invention combines a multi-dimensional digital scale to measure the real-time physiological and psychological state of pregnant and postpartum women.
[0090] The status information includes physiological status information and psychological status information.
[0091] Physiological status information includes, but is not limited to: heart rate.
[0092] Psychological state information includes, but is not limited to, attention level. In one embodiment of this specification, the attention level of a target object is predicted by combining electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) signals.
[0093] The S443 displays the target user's content in real time based on the display unit; S444 sends the status information and the displayed content as real-time feedback information to the training monitoring module.
[0094] In one embodiment of this specification, the present invention achieves real-time acquisition and dynamic monitoring of multimodal data. It acquires electroencephalogram (EEG) information from the prefrontal cortex of pregnant women via a single-lead brain-computer interface, and performs spectral analysis on the preprocessed EEG signal using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method. The obtained EEG data of the target human is divided into five typical frequency bands. Using a Bayesian method, combined with EEG physiological data, the prior distribution of parameters in the model is updated to a posterior distribution. The pain response of the posterior distribution is input as an analog signal into a calculator and converted into an objective index within the 0-100 value range. Through digital twin technology and EEG data-driven methods, precise modeling and quantitative analysis of pain perception are achieved. Combined with multidimensional scales and evidence-based medicine support, a comprehensive database of the physiological and psychological states of pregnant women is constructed, enabling precise personalized intervention and effectively improving the relief of labor pain and the overall treatment outcome.
[0095] S5 adjusts the auxiliary training program based on the real-time feedback information to help alleviate the labor pains of the target subject.
[0096] In one embodiment of this specification, the user can view the feedback information of the target object in real time through the training monitoring module. If an anomaly is detected, the auxiliary training scheme can be remotely paused or adjusted to ensure the safety of the target object.
[0097] After training is complete, exit the interface based on the handle operation of the target object.
[0098] Obtain detailed information about the current assisted training program and construct a training record for this training session. The training record includes, but is not limited to, training duration and effectiveness evaluation. Users can view the training record through the report module for subsequent optimization of the rehabilitation program.
[0099] In one embodiment of this specification, a one-click export module can be used to export an analysis report containing the entire process, as well as dynamic physiological data during the training process of pregnant women.
[0100] This invention employs advanced data encryption technology to encrypt, store, and transmit biometric feedback information from target subjects, preventing unauthorized access. Specifically, during the data generation stage, a combination of symmetric and asymmetric encryption is used. High-strength keys are used to encrypt data in blocks, and a dynamic encryption channel based on session keys is added during network transmission to prevent interception or tampering. Simultaneously, the system prioritizes data preprocessing and analysis within the user's terminal device, reducing the transmission and centralized storage of raw data to the cloud, thereby mitigating the risk of sensitive information leakage.
[0101] This invention belongs to the field of digital healthcare and obstetrics and gynecology technology. Based on MR technology and CBT principles, it constructs a mixed reality relief system for labor pain in pregnant women. By integrating virtual reality technology and cognitive behavioral therapy principles, it provides pregnant women with innovative solutions for labor pain management and psychological intervention.
[0102] Specifically, distraction therapy and multi-sensory biofeedback are employed. Gamified tasks and synergistic stimulation of sight, sound, and touch are used to shift attention and regulate autonomic nervous function. MR technology is used to integrate virtual content with the real environment, constructing an immersive analgesic environment. Multi-sensory stimulation is used to divert the mother's attention from pre-labor pain, blocking pain signal transmission based on "gating theory." The cognitive reshaping principle of CBT is applied, using interactive experiences in virtual scenarios to correct the target group's misconceptions about labor pain and establish a positive mindset that labor is a "physiological process." This facilitates prenatal education, labor analgesia, and postpartum psychological adjustment for the target group. Combining behavioral activation and emotion regulation, progressive training and immersive scenario interventions enhance self-regulation abilities and break the "pain-tension" cycle. Portable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are used to provide real-time biofeedback, visually presenting physiological indicators such as respiration and electromyography, enhancing the relaxation training effect.
[0103] This invention integrates evidence-based medicine methods such as childbirth education and breathing training to achieve safe and effective childbirth pain management through non-pharmacological interventions, and also has the potential to be applied to other areas of chronic pain.
[0104] At the technical implementation level, this invention has developed a virtual natural environment scene library specifically for labor analgesia, which provides visual-auditory-tactile multimodal stimulation through a head-mounted display device; it integrates a physiological signal acquisition system to monitor indicators such as heart rate variability and skin conductance in real time and dynamically adjust virtual scene parameters; and it establishes a standardized intervention process based on CBT, including technical elements such as cognitive restructuring, relaxation training, and attention shifting.
[0105] This invention has broad application prospects. It is applicable to clinical analgesia in hospital delivery rooms and can also be extended to prenatal education centers and postpartum rehabilitation institutions. It provides a digital, personalized, and non-drug innovative solution for modern perinatal care and is of great value in improving the medical experience of pregnant women and new mothers.
