Assessing the impact of mixed reality-assisted informed consent: A study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Informed consent is a crucial aspect of modern medicine, but it can be challenging due to the complexity of the information involved. Mixed reality (MR) has emerged as a promising technology to improve communication. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the impact of MR on medical informed consent. The proposed research protocol provides a solid foundation for conducting future investigations and developing MR-based protocols that can enhance patients' understanding and engagement in the decision-making process.

Methods

This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design. Two arms will be defined: MR-assisted informed consent (MRaIC) as the experimental arm and conventional informed consent (CIC) as the control arm consent, with 52 patient
