Assessing quality measures for immersive technology efficiency in pediatric psychology: integrating innovative educational technologies for enhanced therapeutic outcomes

Immersive technology, including virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), has gained traction in pediatric psychology for its potential to enhance therapeutic interventions and improve patient outcomes. However, the lack of standardized quality measures poses a challenge in assessing the efficacy and impact of immersive technology services in pediatric psychology settings. This study aims to address this gap by delineating a comprehensive list of quality measures tailored to evaluate the efficiency of immersive technology services in pediatric psychology, with a focus on the Malaysian context. Through a structured review approach, incorporating systematic literature reviews and conceptual framework development, this research synthesizes existing knowledge and identifies key dimensions for assessing immersive technology interventions. The resulting conceptual framework, Framework for Immersive Technology Efficiency Services in Pediatric Psychology (FITSinPP), integrates technological, clinical, user-centered, and stakeholder perspectives to guide the evaluation and improvement of immersive technology interventions. By establishing standardized quality measures and a tailored conceptual framework, this study contributes to enhancing quality of care and broadening the application of immersive technology in pediatric psychology and educational innovation.
