EDA-Based Adaptive Support in VR ALS Training
72 participantsStarted 2026-07
Plain-language summary
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of an electrodermal activity (EDA)-based adaptive support system on performance during virtual reality (VR)-based advanced life support (ALS) training. Participants' stress levels will be continuously monitored through EDA during the simulation. When stress exceeds a predefined threshold, the adaptive system will automatically activate a support mode that provides additional guidance and time. The performance outcomes of participants receiving adaptive support will be compared with those receiving standard VR training. The study will also examine the role of presence, anxiety, social anxiety, and personality traits in the relationship between stress and performance.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial uses virtual reality to train people in Advanced Life Support — since it's focused on training healthcare providers or learners rather than treating a medical condition, is this something that would even be relevant to my situation, or is it aimed at a different audience?
2The trial hasn't started recruiting yet — given where I am in my diagnosis or treatment journey, does it make sense to wait for this study to open, or should we be focusing on currently available options in the meantime?
3This study compares an adaptive support condition against a standard training condition in VR — can you help me understand what 'adaptive support' means in practice here, and whether being assigned to the standard condition would still offer any benefit?
4Since this trial is listed as Phase NA, meaning it's not testing a medical treatment in the traditional sense, how does that affect what's known about any risks or benefits of participating, and what would I actually be agreeing to do?
5The primary outcome being measured is an Advanced Life Support Performance Score — can you explain what that means in plain terms, and how the results of this study might eventually translate into better care for patients like me?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
