Resumo


During the process of chemotherapy of pediatric patients with cancer, the discomfort proves to be one of the many challenges for the patient, intensified by the ease at which the child becomes upset or annoyed. As a form of distraction during part of the treatment, this poster proposes an application of virtual reality to mask the process, and additionally, allows for association within the cancer patient’s situation
