Oncology in southern Lazio: therapeutic virtual reality to accompany patients during chemotherapy in Spaziani Hospital.

The Challenge

The oncology department of the Spaziani Hospital manages an extensive catchment area, with patients traveling even from distant municipalities for chemotherapy sessions. For many, the day at the hospital is long, tiring, and often spent in isolation. There was a need for a tool accessible to a population of diverse ages and familiarity with technology.

For many, the day at the hospital is long, tiring, and often spent in isolation. There was a need for a tool accessible to a population of diverse ages and familiarity with technology.

The challenge was not only to find the right tool, but also to ensure its continuous availability for as many patients as possible during the sessions.

Our strategy

We have launched a structured program in Oncology with extensive training for the entire nursing staff. Having multiple headsets available at the same time means that every patient can access LEMO during their infusion, without waiting. The experiences adapt to different profiles: from first-timers to those who have integrated the headset into their treatment plan.

Lo Spaziani is proof that the staircase is not an obstacle: it is a choice.
