BraveMind VR Therapy Platform
Designing immersive VR exposure therapy applications to help individuals overcome anxiety through controlled, therapeutic virtual environments
The Challenge
Problem Statement
Traditional exposure therapy for PTSD and anxiety disorders often faces significant barriers: patient resistance to real-world exposure, limited control over environmental factors, safety concerns, and high costs associated with in-vivo therapy sessions. There was a critical need for a safe, controlled, and cost-effective alternative that could provide the same therapeutic benefits while reducing patient anxiety and improving treatment accessibility.
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET)
Pioneering the use of VR technology to create safe, controlled therapeutic environments for PTSD treatment and anxiety disorder management.
