Every year, more than 30,000 MRI scans are abandoned in the UK because of patient anxiety. This results in wasted appointments, increased costs and delayed diagnoses.
iSAVE helps patients overcome scan anxiety before they ever enter the MRI suite.
This Autumn, licence iSAVE for just £2,999 (one-off, per headset install).
Use your own compatible VR headset, or we can supply one for an additional cost. Runs on PC or laptop. Includes training to get you up and running.
For many patients, MRI scans are overwhelming. The confined space, the sounds and the uncertainty often trigger severe anxiety. This leads to abandoned appointments, repeat bookings and costly delays.
iSAVE changes the experience:
Patients are guided through a safe, immersive simulation of the MRI process.
They see, hear and experience what the scan will be like, without the pressure of the real procedure.
By building familiarity and confidence, patients are far more likely to complete their scans successfully.
Hospitals using iSAVE report:
"I have been using Cineon's virtual reality environment for 4 years to help patients manage MRI-related claustrophobia, and I am very satisfied with the software. It offers a realistic and engaging experience that helps patients feel more prepared and less anxious before their MRI examination. The tool is easy to use, reliable, and has been a valuable support in my clinical practice."
Stéphanie Podgorski, Psychologist, Hôpital de la Citadelle
"Use of virtual experiences delivered via VR could be a way of using new technology to digitally improve the patient experience ahead of a scan. VR does appear to be a viable means of providing realistic patient preparation, allowing the opportunity to practice in a safe space away from added time pressures of actual scan."
Dr Darren Hudson DClinRes, MRI Specialist
"Access to Cineon's Virtual Reality Environment could be a valuable way to prepare and support patients needing extra help before an MRI scan. Practitioners in our study found the tool easy to use and saw real potential in helping patients familiarise themselves with the experience in advance, without taking up additional scanner time. VR offers a safe space to build trust and discuss patient concerns ahead of their appointment, which could enhance patient-centred care."
Dr Christine Heales, Medical Imaging
Powered by Cineon’s Empathic Learning Engine (ELE), it uses an eye-tracking headset to monitor attention, stress and engagement in real time. The simulation adapts as the patient progresses, creating a more personalised exposure experience.
Benefits of iSAVE Advanced:
