OVER 40,000,000 PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF PALLIATIVE CARE RIGHT NOW.1

We can help.

Research has shown that virtual reality can have the pain-relief benefits of morphine, without the addicting properties. Guided VR is powered by decades of research on pain relief, mindfulness, and environmental psychology easing the burden of illness.

86% OF PEOPLE’S END OF LIFE PAIN GOES UNTREATED.2

Introducing a new solution.

Increasing restrictions on opiates and growing costs deny end-of-life care access to over 35,000,000 people .3 In the US, over 6,000,000 are in pain without a solution. In the UK, 48% of those in need never receive palliative support.3

Guided VR provides an all-in-one package to bring cutting-edge virtual reality relief to one’s home, nursing facility, hospice inpatient facility, or acute care hospital. Best of all, Guided VR can provide this relief with zero loss of clarity or awareness.

Why People Love Guided VR

When people use it, for the most part, it reduces their pain quite considerably, so within in the course of five minutes the pain will drop from about five-and-a-half points to four points on a ten-point scale. That's pretty dramatic for not using any narcotics, no medications, no medical intervention, just the experience of being transported away from where you physically are.

Dr. Brennan SpiegelDirector of Cedars-Sinai Health Services Research

AR/VR can help with stress relief and pain reduction, transporting a patient to a remote oasis or allowing a patient to play a game while hospitalized or undergoing treatments. Studies have shown that using VR for hospitalized patients is more effective than past tactics to help distract patients from their pain.

We are finding that the ability to distract these patients with fully immersive, fun and relaxing sensory environments can have a significant impact on the anxiety and pain that they experience during minor procedures, dressing changes and other medical treatments.

Dr. Sam RodriguezCHARIOT Program Founder

It's no secret that everyone complains about going to the dentist. This [virtual reality device] is a way to distract people and use the power of mind instead of pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Mark OlsonMark Olson DDS

Patients absolutely undergo a high amount of anxiety and stress, and distractions have been shown to help … like listening to music or having the TV on. Unlike TV and music, it's more immersive and it does literally block out any other visual stimuli. It would not surprise me at all if many individuals did experience a reduction in anxiety in this type of distraction.
