Virtual Reality and Immersive Technology (VR-IT) Clinic
With the development of biometric sensing devices, virtual reality and other immersive technologies can now provide many types of sensory feedback retraining and education relevant to treating psychiatric illnesses. The merging of immersive technology with the biology of sensation allows behavioral shaping and conditioning procedures specifically targeting symptoms unique to each patient. The Virtual Reality and Immersive Technology (VR-IT) Clinic bridges evidenced-based behavioral psychotherapies, clinical research, and medical technologies to treat a varying spectrum of psychiatric conditions. The VR-IT Clinic incorporates the most current and emerging methods of virtual and augmented reality treatments into traditional cognitive behavior and mindfulness-based therapies, taking a holistic, customized, and personal approach to each patient.
