Virtual reality and artificial intelligence offer practitioners tools to support their patients in the face of fear, anxiety, addictions or social phobia. Immersive environments allow for graduated and secure exposure, customizable according to the needs of each patient.
C2Care allows you to recreate situations in the office that are often difficult to organize in reality: height, plane, enclosed spaces, driving, crowds or social interactions. The professional can choose the most suitable environment and gradually change certain parameters according to the objectives of the session and the reactions of their patient.
Virtual reality thus makes it possible to easily integrate various scenarios into daily practice, without depending on travel, external conditions or the presence of third parties.
Fear of driving, highway, heavy traffic, tunnels, bridges or urban situations: C2Care allows you to recreate different contexts related to driving directly in the office.
The professional can support his patient in a graduated progression, working on targeted and repeatable situations before a confrontation in real conditions. This makes it easier to address difficulties such as apprehension of certain roads, resuming driving or anxiety behind the wheel, without having to immediately organize an external scenario.
Relaxation environments make it easy to add breathing or relaxation time during a session. Beach, forest, mountain or other immersive landscapes offer the patient a setting conducive to relaxation and focusing on the exercises offered.
For the practitioner, it is a simple way to vary the supports used in the office and to integrate breathing, relaxation or stress management exercises more easily into different types of consultations.

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

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.

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.
