Detailed description

To demonstrate the technical and organizational feasibility of patient education about arterial hypertension in virtual reality. Demonstrate the non-inferiority of education conducted in virtual reality to traditional face-to-face education by a physician. To define the cost-effectiveness of education in virtual reality in the reality of progressing shortage of human resources. Patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension as part of a routine examination in an internal medicine outpatient clinic will be randomized to education about the disease directly by a physician in one arm or using a 3D movie in VR glasses filmed by a physician in an identical outpatient clinic setting. It will be concluded by questionnaire method to compare the outcome of both education namely subjective satisfaction and objectively by using questions to evaluate the success of the education.
