-//Provide here all relevant concepts related to the topic(s) of the project// +This part presents the key concepts that form the foundation of the Healing Cocoon project. Drawing from research in healthcare design and patient well-being, it explores healing environments, multisensory interventions, digital distraction therapies, immersive technologies, and cocoon environments. Together, these concepts provide the theoretical basis for the design choices made in this project.

 Digital distraction therapy is increasingly used in healthcare to help patients cope with stress, anxiety, and pain. The idea behind distraction therapy is to shift the patient’s attention away from medical procedures or discomfort [(Hiwat2021)]. Digital distraction therapy is increasingly used in healthcare to help patients cope with stress, anxiety, and pain.

 Based on the state-of-the-art analysis, it can be concluded that existing solutions such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and projection systems each offer specific advantages in reducing anxiety in healthcare environments. However, none of these solutions fully combine immersion, comfort, hygiene, and practicality. Based on the state-of-the-art analysis, it can be concluded that existing solutions such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and projection systems each offer specific advantages in reducing anxiety in healthcare environments.
