| Abstract | Virtual Reality (VR) therapy has gained interest in healthcare, particularly for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. Unfortunately, not all PD patients have access to this effective therapy. Exploring phone-based VR as a complementary tool could broaden accessibility, especially in regions like the Philippines where smartphone ownership is common. Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted to identify key outcome measures for a VR therapy application. Usability and simplicity were tested through user experience and quality evaluation. The pilot application received positive feedback from participants, highlighting its usability and straightforward functions. This study suggests that phone-based VR has the potential to be a valuable therapy tool for PD patients, pending further research and clinical validation. Phone-based VR may extend therapy availability and efficacy, promising improved care for PD patients. |
