Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects concentration, hyperactivity and impulsivity, with impacts on school, work and social life. C2Care offers virtual reality software used since 2015 to work on attention, impulse management and stress regulation, with the support of a psychologist. According to Eric Malbos, psychiatrist, virtual reality is 80% effective, with benefits lasting more than a year after treatment.
Work on concentration and impulse management benefits from being put into a situation, in class or at work. However, reproducing these contexts identically in consultation is not always simple.
A classroom or workspace depends on the number of people present, ambient noise or circumstances that cannot be brought together at will. Their level of distraction and their progress are difficult to adjust from one session to the next.
Virtual reality makes it possible to recreate these educational or professional contexts directly in the office, in a controlled and reproducible environment.
The C2Care environments make it possible to recreate school or professional contexts associated with attentional difficulties and to gradually integrate them during the sessions.
In a school context, the patient can practice facing distractors specific to a classroom. In a professional context, he may be confronted with demands comparable to those of a working day.
These situations can be repeated and adjusted in complexity by the practitioner in order to work with the patient on concentration, impulse management and stress regulation.
VRET
The practitioner seats the patient on a swivel chair and fits them with the virtual reality headset
Using the control interface, the practitioner selects the environment suited to the session's goals and starts the exposure.
During immersion, the practitioner supports the patient using a visual feed and can adjust the exposure scene in real time
Environments
The cognitive stimulation exercises of C2Care are adjusted depending on whether the patient is in a school or professional context.
For children, the fun exercises in C2Care make learning attention management fun and interactive, in a simulated environment.
For adults, C2Care offers more structured activities to strengthen concentration in professional tasks and everyday situations.

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.

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.

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.

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...
