A novel device developed providing nature-driven responsive imagery that responds to the patient's physiological to distract, engage, and de-escalate behaviours of delirium.
This device will be provided on top of routine post-operative management and standard delirium reduction measures. It has proven effective in a previous clinical trial by reducing agitation and unscheduled medications. It displays nature-driven responsive imagery through an available mobile screen/device for the first 7 days after surgery or discharge, whichever comes first. The imagery adapts in real-time to the participant's movement and sound. The device will be placed at the foot of the bed while the patient is awake and may be interrupted at the discretion of the patient, bedside RN or attending physician.
Routine post-operative management and standard delirium reduction measures.
Examples of routine post-operative care are sleep optimization, avoidance of delirium-promoting medications, orientation, and mobilization.
