What is Virtual-Reality-Therapy?

Back to the VR-Coach smart system overview

In VR therapy, patients move through virtual environments using VR glasses. These environments can trigger anxiety. This happens in scenarios in which, for example, a spider crawls across a table or patients have to give a presentation in front of an audience. By being confronted with the fear stimulus, patients learn how to deal with these situations in everyday life. This approach also works in a similar way for addiction and other illnesses.

Therapists as Support

The therapists provide support during these virtual confrontations. The confrontation can also be gradually increased in the therapist software on the desktop. This applies, for example, to the size or number of spiders or the reactions of the audience. In all scenarios, there is something that therapists can control.

The benefits and effectiveness of VR therapy have been proven in numerous publications and studies. For example, one study found that VR therapy achieves equally good results compared to the very complex in vivo therapy, while at the same time recording fewer treatment discontinuations.
