Software as a Solace: Improving Lives with VR
From making our work days more efficient, to making it easier to communicate seamlessly with our friends and family, software has revolutionized our world. Here at Guided VR, we believe…
First responders deal with immense daily stress. Due to this constant exposure to life’s most extreme situations causes exponentially larger cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, panic disorder, and other operational stress injuries than within the general population.
Could you do more to support your first responders? With Guided VR, every patrol car or ambulance can become the gateway to a short virtual escape. VR for first responders can even walk professionals through breathing and mindfulness exercises.
As of 2017, only 3-5% of departments 3 offer counseling or time off to those in need. Yet, even if support was available, some first responders may be hesitant to seek such help due to personal or societal expectations.
Guided VR leverages research on distraction, mindfulness, and environmental psychology to provide an evidence-informed stress and anxiety solution. Consequently, Guided VR isn’t a replacement for therapy, but it can provide an immediate and immersive technology option, which also happens to be portable, easy to use, and cost-effective.
We need to do more to help those who help us. The status quo isn’t enough. Commit to trying something new.
