Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods that provide content that distracts a user's attention away from discomfort, for example, occurring due to a prior injury or ongoing medical condition. The content is adjusted over time based on tracking the user's attentiveness towards the content. Specifically, the user's current attentive state may be tracked using physiological sensors and used to adapt content to mitigate the perception of discomfort. In some implementations, the user's stress is also assessed and used an indication of the user's current discomfort level to better track when the user's attentive state is shifting from the content to the discomfort and adjust the content accordingly.
