Camille, the AI assistant of C2Care, accompanies patients and practitioners throughout the therapeutic journey. Available in virtual reality as well as on smartphones and computers, it supports engagement without replacing the practitioner, by adapting to the needs of each individual.
The work undertaken during a virtual reality session does not stop when the headset is removed. The patient needs to review his feelings, prepare for the next exposure, or simply maintain his commitment between two appointments.
The practitioner cannot be available continuously to support this intermediate follow-up. This limited availability can weaken the continuity of the therapeutic pathway.
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to extend support outside of sessions, without replacing the practitioner. Camille remains accessible on smartphone and computer to maintain contact with the patient between two consultations.
In the C2Care immersive environments, Camille interacts vocally with the patient during the exposure, to reinforce their engagement throughout the session.
In social scenes, 3D avatars animated by AI react in real time to the patient's behaviors, expressions and voice, to recreate realistic social situations. In meditation and guided relaxation environments, vocal guidance adapts to the patient's reactions rather than delivering fixed content.
The practitioner maintains control over the course: he or she chooses the environment and adjusts the exposure, while Camille supports patient engagement without replacing clinical support.
VRET

The developments C2Care is currently integrating into the interface are very promising and meet the established therapeutic objectives [...]: offering tailored exercises that can be adapted to levels of dependency, cognitive disorders, and patients' real-time responses.

Psychiatrist
With the acquisition of new equipment [...] and updates to the C2Care programs, its use has expanded even further: OCD, phobias, addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD. Ten years later, it is no longer merely a curiosity, but a genuine therapeutic tool that is stimulating, innovative, and effective.
Sabrina Gineau
Psychologist
I incorporate this technology into brief therapies lasting two to four months, with one session per week. I begin with relaxation techniques and, when patients are ready, we proceed. It makes it much easier to expose people to these situations.
Noël Schepers

Virtual reality can enrich and personalize treatment, facilitate patient-therapist collaboration in developing the treatment plan, and add a playful dimension. The possibilities for development and application are immense and extend to every area of psychology and psychotherapy.

The value of this technology [C2Care] lies in offering new possibilities for therapeutic support and expanding the range of tools available to healthcare professionals.

For several months, we have been using virtual reality in habituation therapies. Before the procedure, patients are progressively and immersively exposed to their future medical environment and psychologically prepared to accept it.
Dre Marie-Claude Roberge
Doctor of Psychology
Since 2022, we have been using virtual reality therapy with the C2Care platform to simulate exposure to aversive stimuli and triggers that cause anxiety. Exposure therapy is used to treat specific phobias, including fear of heights, enclosed spaces, flying, dogs, emetophobia, and many others.

Using a virtual reality headset for self-hypnosis during prostate biopsies creates a calm atmosphere for a procedure that can sometimes be uncomfortable, even with effective local anesthesia...
