Heka VR

HEKA VR is a visual platform that enables Avatar Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy, to be conducted in a Virtual Reality setting. VR-based avatar therapy combines psychology and virtual reality technology to provide transformative interventions for mental health disorders. Grounded in research, this therapy utilises virtual reality and avatars to create immersive experiences. Through the concept of embodiment, individuals psychologically connect with their avatars, leading to significant changes in thoughts and behaviours. In schizophrenia, avatar therapy helps patients gain control over auditory hallucinations, but avatar therapy holds promise for improving mental health outcomes among patients with eating disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline disorder, severe depression and many more.
