Guiding patients through specific phobias with virtual reality

C2Care environments address common specific phobias including spiders, wasps, dogs, and rats, as well as contamination-related obsessive-compulsive disorder. Each environment recreates the feared object or situation in a controlled setting to allow gradual exposure.

Spider environments recreate the sight and presence of a spider so the patient can gradually reduce distress and regain a sense of control. The exposure is adjustable to match the patient's tolerance level throughout treatment.

Yes, each environment can be personalized by choosing elements such as the number of insects, the intensity of buzzing sounds, or whether insects are free or contained under a cover. This allows the practitioner to tailor exposure to the patient's needs.

The wasp environment offers immersive scenarios with adjustable proximity and wasp behavior, allowing gradual and controlled exposure. It targets the appearance and buzzing sound that often trigger significant stress.

Virtual reality recreates spaces such as hospital rooms, public restrooms, or basements, with varying levels of dirt or unexpected elements like a spilled liquid. This allows gradual exposure to situations that trigger intense anxiety related to contamination or cleanliness.

Efficacy relies on five factors: immersion in realistic environments, cognitive restructuring of catastrophic thoughts, repeated exposures, progressive difficulty increase, and personalization supported by artificial intelligence throughout the sessions.

Yes, the dog phobia environment addresses anxiety linked to a traumatic experience or irrational apprehension, which can prevent outdoor activities. The practitioner develops tailored strategies to reduce anxiety and regain comfort in these situations.

The assistant IA Camille acts as a trusted companion, offering personalized support without fear of judgment throughout the exposures. Virtual characters also faithfully replicate real-life social behaviors within certain scenarios.
