“…Scientific analysis and correct estimation of the degree of adolescent psychological disorders is an important premise of mental health education. Lin et al (2020) proposed a VR system with the goal of reducing anxiety and stress, called virtual harmony music therapy. The system allows users to listen to music and play different instruments in a 3D environment with a real panoramic video as the background scene.…”

This work is developed to explore the form of mental health education, strengthen scientific educational ideas, and improve the effect of psychological therapy. Virtual reality (VR) technology is innovatively applied in adolescent mental health treatment and education. Based on this, the mental health treatment and system design based on virtual reality technology are discussed, and the feasibility of applying VR technology to adolescent mental health education is explored. Second, the research concept of adolescent mental health is discussed. Based on the VR platform setup, questionnaire survey is implemented to analyze the factors influencing the mental health of primary and secondary school students in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province (the permission of the adolescent guardian is obtained during the interview), and five factors are obtained. Based on this, the adolescent mental health treatment system based on VR is designed, and the effectiveness of the system is tested and evaluated. The results show that the integrated delay of the VR equipment used is 29 ms, which can effectively provide service. There are significant differences in mental health status among adolescents of different genders, different ages, only children and non-only children, parents’ accompaniment during growing up, and urban and rural adolescents. Finally, after 3 months of psychological treatment, the mental health score of the experimental group of teenagers is 50–55 points. However, the mental health scores of the control group remain at 56–65 points, indicating that the mental health treatment system designed in this work can effectively help the adolescents to improve their mental health, thus proving the effectiveness of the system. To sum up, this work provides scientific reference for adolescent mental health education in schools. Psychological treatment system can help teenagers improve their psychological problems and promote the development of mental health education.

Healthcare monitoring system in hospitals and many other health centers has experienced significant growth, and portable healthcare monitoring systems with emerging technologies are becoming of great concern to many countries worldwide nowadays. The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies facilitates the progress of healthcare from face-to-face consulting to telemedicine. This paper proposes a smart healthcare system in IoT environment that can monitor a patient's basic health signs as well as the room condition where the patients are now in real-time. In this system, five sensors are used to capture the data from hospital environment named heart beat sensor, body temperature sensor, room temperature sensor, CO sensor, and CO 2 sensor. The error percentage of the developed scheme is within a certain limit (< 5%) for each case. The condition of the patients is conveyed via a portal to medical staff, where they can process and analyze the current situation of the patients. The developed prototype is well suited for healthcare monitoring that is proved by the effectiveness of the system.

The advancements in immersive technologies allow us to create more sophisticated environments designed to help engage users by merging the physical world with a digital or simulated reality. These can range from completely immersive virtual environments to mixed reality immersive environments, where the virtual world and the real world collide. Virtual reality is a completely immersive environment where the users' reality is replaced with a simulated environment, and the hardware works to convince the user that they are in a different world. In contrast, augmented reality is a mixed type of reality, combining both the virtual and the natural world by augmenting the real world with digital assets and components. While both types of experiences contribute to creating rich collaborative environments, a limitation, and sometimes inconvenience, is present with the requirement of wearing a head-mounted device (HMD), creating restriction that prevents users from having physical interactions with others. Rather than interacting in the virtual space, we propose a concept that provides the structure for a physical space where users can interact with the shared mixed reality environment, an environment projected to help create the collaborative aspect in this project without any wearable devices. This paper will present the developed system and implemented four-dimensional interactions and demonstrate the feasibility of the structured experience we have created.
