C2Care offers practitioners a virtual reality headset accompanied by a complete suite of therapeutic software: phobias, addictions, relaxation, cognitive stimulation.
A turnkey solution, managed by the practitioner from a single platform.
A practitioner rarely supports only one type of disorder. Phobias, addictions, anxiety disorders or relaxation needs each involve very different situations for the patient to experience, difficult to bring together with traditional office methods.
Some depend on a place or an external context (an airport, an evening, a tobacconist), others require a calm and progressive environment for relaxation or hypnosis. Multiplying the supports and materials for each approach complicates monitoring.
The therapeutic virtual reality headset brings together these different environments in a single tool, controlled by the practitioner from a single platform.
From his interface, the practitioner chooses the environment adapted to the objective of the session and adjusts the exposure in real time during the patient's immersion.
For work on phobias or addictions, it can recreate anxiety-provoking or consumption-related situations, by controlling their progressiveness. For a relaxation or hypnosis session, it can offer a mountain, forest or seaside environment, conducive to induction and letting go.
This organization in a single application allows you to switch from one use to another without changing tools, according to the needs of each patient and the evolution of their care.

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.

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.

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.
