Treatment tools – VirtualRET

VirtualRET was created by a combination of experts in technology and neuropsychology. It is a platform for treating anxiety disorders through the use of virtual reality and is based on cognitive-behavioral psychology.

Virtual reality is particularly useful in this type of therapy because it enables patients to be exposed to “reality” in a wide range of scenarios in a safe and controlled manner. The tool includes a virtual reality helmet that facilitates gradual exposure to the stimuli that produce high levels of anxiety in patients. This is due to the wide selection of approximation sequences included in the platform.
