Project management

Project description

We are developing a new (virtual) training method for people who suffer from impaired stimulus filtering and who are looking for a better social integration. Our goal is to develop a personalized exposure therapy to train coping skills to desensitize the personal triggers and situations causing stress.
The prototype so far has been developed together with patients and therapists in a user-centered approach. For 2024 we will develop the prototype into the MVP and validate the efficacy end of 2024 in a pilot study with our clinical partners.
This will enable them new education and work opportunities and a better quality of life and mental health.

Status/Results

Our goal of 2024 is to develop the VR Software and Web Application minimal usable product. These are a prerequisite for the pilot study. We want to solidify the collaborations with the clinics we have been working together for a couple of months with a signed contract and a fixed start date of the pilot study.
