C2Care offers an immersive virtual reality solution designed with educational and medical teams, intended to train healthcare personnel in the management of aggression and pain management.
Immersive scenarios promote the acquisition of skills, supplemented by feedback from an expert trainer.
Training healthcare personnel in the management of aggression or the management of pain involves confronting the learner with situations that are difficult to provoke without risk. Reproducing an aggressive patient or a case of acute pain in traditional training is not always simple.
These situations often depend on a particular context, the availability of a real patient or an actor, while their progression and repetition remain difficult to master from one learner to another.
Virtual reality makes it possible to recreate these scenarios directly in training, in a controlled and reproducible environment for each learner.
The C2Care environments make it possible to recreate evolving and interactive scenarios close to the field. In a hospital room, the learner faces a verbally and gesturally aggressive patient; in another module, he assesses and takes care of a patient in pain, including prescriptions.
The trainer chooses the environment adapted to the objectives of the session and can act in real time on the exposure scene during the learner's immersion. Other modules place the learner in the place of an autistic child or facing an elderly person disoriented in time and space.
These repeated scenarios allow you to work on professional posture and stress management, as well as understanding the patient's reactions, before a debriefing led by the trainer.
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 environment reproduces a specific professional situation to prepare healthcare personnel.
The learner faces a verbally and gesturally aggressive patient in evolving and interactive scenarios, to work on their professional posture and stress management.
The learner evaluates and manages a patient in pain through several scenarios, including checking prescriptions.
The learner takes the place of an autistic child and perceives the disruptive elements of his environment, to better understand his reactions.
The learner participates in the care of an elderly person disoriented in time and space.

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.

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.

FAQ
Find answers to common questions about using virtual reality for healthcare staff training.
C2Care has been testing its virtual reality solutions in hospitals since 2016. Training programs, such as aggressiveness management or pain management, are based on this field experience with healthcare teams.
You are immersed in an immersive situation facing a virtual patient, aggressive or painful depending on the module. An expert trainer then leads a debriefing to transmit the relational techniques or adapted evaluation protocols.
Programs cover aggression management, pain management, autism spectrum disorder, addictive disorders and spatial-temporal disorientation in older adults. Each module simulates situations encountered in the field.
Cybersickness can occur in approximately 10% of virtual reality headset users. This sensation remains in the minority and varies according to the individual sensitivity of each trained person.
These programs are aimed at healthcare personnel in healthcare establishments: nurses, healthcare assistants and practitioners. They aim to strengthen skills when faced with difficult situations such as the aggressiveness of a patient or the assessment of pain.
After each immersive situation, an expert trainer leads an individual debriefing. He transmits his knowledge of relational techniques, communication or evaluation protocols depending on the module followed.
Virtual reality is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders (phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders), addictions, mood disorders and in cognitive remediation.
Practitioners (psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists) as well as health establishments (CHU, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, post-acute care and rehabilitation establishments) use virtual reality to treat their patients.
Virtual reality equipment allows for increased patient engagement, personalized care thanks to adaptable environments, and reproducible scenarios guaranteeing consistent care.
Yes, all C2Care environments are grouped into a single application.
