  • a display configured to display images and/or videos;

    an image source configured to be in communication with the display, the image source comprising a content, the content being the images and/or videos, and the image source being further configured to allow the content to be displayed on the display;

    a physiological information gatherer configured to measure a current physiological information of a patient when the patient is positioned to see the images and/or videos on the display; and

    a processor configured to receive the measured current physiological information from the physiological information gatherer, the processor being further configured to be in communication with the image source, and the processor being further configured to transmit to the display the measured current physiological information and a target breathing rate for display on the display,wherein the images and/or videos in the image source are ranked according to an anxiety provoking level value, wherein the anxiety provoking level value is a degree of anxiety of the patient caused by the images and/or videos in the image source,wherein the processor is configured to display on the display a first image and/or video with a first anxiety provoking level value,wherein the processor is configured to determine when the measured current physiological information of the patient viewing the images and/or videos is below a threshold,wherein when the measured current physiological information is below the threshold, the processor is configured to display on the display a second image and/or video having a second anxiety provoking level value higher than the first anxiety provoking level value of the first image and/or video, andwherein the processor is configured to select the first and second images and/or videos of the images and/or videos in the image source and output the selected first and second images and/or videos to the display for display based on the measured current physiological information of the patient and the anxiety provoking level value of the images and/or videos in the image source that are ranked.
