Our virtual reality solutions support SSR clinics and rehabilitation structures in the care of patients suffering from brain injuries. They are aimed at neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychomotor therapists, to promote the autonomy and reintegration of brain-injured patients.
The assessment and rehabilitation of the brain-injured patient often involves concrete situations: moving around town, taking the road, doing your shopping. However, reproducing these scenarios outside the office is not always easy.
Some depend on an external context that is difficult to organize or on the presence of third parties, while their progression and security remain complex to master for a patient in rehabilitation.
Virtual reality makes it possible to recreate these ecological environments directly in session, in a controlled and reproducible setting, without exposing the patient to the hazards of a real situation.
The C2Care environments make it possible to recreate everyday situations necessary for patient autonomy. A supermarket environment thus calls upon executive functions, working memory, orientation, spatial navigation and practical grasping abilities.
In a road context, the patient may be confronted with different types of roads (motorway, city, bridge) in order to assess their level of risk and their driving skills. The practitioner chooses the environment adapted to the objective of the session and adjusts the exposure in real time.
These scenarios can be repeated and gradually integrated into the rehabilitation protocol, in order to work with the patient on autonomy and reintegration in their daily activities.
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
Each C2Care application offers ecological environments designed for a specific rehabilitation objective.
C2Motion offers environments to work on mobility and proprioception, as well as scenes dedicated to the treatment of vestibular disorders.

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.

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...

FAQ
Find the answers to the questions most asked by SSR practitioners about the use of virtual reality.
Virtual reality allows graduated exposure and controlled to anxiety-provoking situations, in a secure setting. It offers realistic and reproducible environments, promotes patient engagement and allows personalized care.
It is used in anxiety disorders (phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders), addictions, mood disorders and cognitive remediation.
C2Care has been developing virtual reality solutions since 2015. The software has been tested in hospitals since 2016.
The patient wears a virtual reality headset and is immersed in an environment adapted to his disorder or his rehabilitation objective. The practitioner controls the session from his control platform, adjusts the difficulty of the exercises and monitors the patient's progress.
A virtual environment is an immersive scene reproducing a real situation (supermarket, road, building, etc.) in which the patient evolves and exercises, under the control of the practitioner. C2Care offers over 250 different environments.
The practitioner needs a virtual reality headset and access to the C2Care therapeutic platform to configure and manage sessions with the patient.
Working in virtual reality allows full stimulus control and guarantees patient safety. Some users may experience cybersickness (a sensation similar to motion sickness), which affects around 10% of people.
Virtual reality is used for remediation after a stroke, head trauma or in the context of multiple sclerosis. It is also used to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, addictions, obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders and depression.
Some patients may experience cybersickness, a sensation similar to motion sickness, when using the headset. This phenomenon affects around 10% of users.
Neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychomotor therapists use virtual reality to promote the autonomy and reintegration of brain-injured patients.
Virtual reality is inexpensive in terms of time and personnel, while ensuring patient safety. It offers better transfer of skills to daily life than with paper-and-pencil exercises, thanks to precise control of stimulus and difficulty.
Yes, all our environments are grouped into a single application.
Our technical service can be reached via live chat from your control platform. If there is a problem with the VR headset, we will establish a diagnosis with you in order to understand your difficulty and find a solution. If necessary, we will provide you with a return label and replace the defective equipment within 48 hours.
Patients suffering from anxiety disorders, phobias, addictions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder may benefit from virtual reality exposure therapy. Brain-injured patients (stroke, head trauma, multiple sclerosis) benefit from remediation in virtual reality.
