Abstract
Hypertension is a prevalent disease that is known to affect the vascular system especially to the people with poor living habits and lifestyles. Virtual reality (VR) is effective to interact with people to release their pressure and cheer them up, which however is less conducted towards manipulating blood pressure and hypertension. In this paper, we consider how hypertension can be treated with VR devices and design virtual reality river bathing therapy (VRBT) with respect to a combination of traditional methods through sensory stimulation, audio interventions, and motor training.
