C2Care supports hospitals, clinics and health establishments in the deployment of therapeutic virtual reality: equipment, software, team training and long-term support.
The C2Care environments allow teams to recreate situations within the establishment that are difficult to organize in reality: height, plane, enclosed spaces, driving, crowds or social interactions. Professionals can gradually change the environmental parameters depending on the objectives of the session and the patient's reactions.
This approach provides a reproducible framework, usable by different professionals and in several departments, without depending on external constraints or specific travel.
C2Care offers different environments reproducing contexts that can be associated with addictive behavior: bar, terrace, party, tobacconist or casino. These situations can be integrated into team practices to work around reactions, habits and risky situations, while maintaining a controlled framework.
For healthcare establishments, these environments also make it possible to structure common uses between several professionals, with situations that are easily repeatable and adaptable from one session to another.
C2Care provides soothing immersive environments: beaches, forests, mountains, natural landscapes. They can be used to accompany relaxation, breathing or stress management sessions.
This content can find its place in different departments and with varied patient profiles. They offer teams a simple support to integrate into their practice, without requiring specific space layout or a device dedicated to each use.

The developments C2Care is currently integrating into the interface are very promising and meet the established therapeutic objectives [...]: offering tailored exercises that can be adapted to levels of dependency, cognitive disorders, and patients' real-time responses.

With the acquisition of new equipment [...] and updates to the C2Care programs, its use has expanded even further: OCD, phobias, addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD. Ten years later, it is no longer merely a curiosity, but a genuine therapeutic tool that is stimulating, innovative, and effective.

I incorporate this technology into brief therapies lasting two to four months, with one session per week. I begin with relaxation techniques and, when patients are ready, we proceed. It makes it much easier to expose people to these situations.

Virtual reality can enrich and personalize treatment, facilitate patient-therapist collaboration in developing the treatment plan, and add a playful dimension. The possibilities for development and application are immense and extend to every area of psychology and psychotherapy.

For several months, we have been using virtual reality in habituation therapies. Before the procedure, patients are progressively and immersively exposed to their future medical environment and psychologically prepared to accept it.
Dre Marie-Claude Roberge
Doctor of Psychology
Since 2022, we have been using virtual reality therapy with the C2Care platform to simulate exposure to aversive stimuli and triggers that cause anxiety. Exposure therapy is used to treat specific phobias, including fear of heights, enclosed spaces, flying, dogs, emetophobia, and many others.

FAQ
Find the answers to the questions most asked by practitioners about this virtual reality solution.
C2Care offers a turnkey solution: headsets, software and control platform, accompanied by handling by the teams. The establishment defines its needs and the services concerned, then deploys the solution with ongoing support.
Many services can integrate therapeutic virtual reality: psychiatry, addiction, geriatrics, follow-up care and rehabilitation. The environments cover phobias, addictions, relaxation and cognitive stimulation.
C2Care has been testing its virtual reality software in hospitals since 2016. This clinical experience has made it possible to refine the immersive environments and gradually adapt them to the real needs of practitioners and their patients.
Virtual reality is not dangerous in itself. It can cause cybersickness in around 10% of people, with temporary nausea or disorientation. Use remains supervised by a practitioner in order to limit this risk and adapt the sessions.
Psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists and other health professionals can integrate virtual reality into their practice, both in CHU hospitals and clinics and in private practices, according to the needs of their patients.
Yes, all of C2Care's immersive environments are grouped together in a single application. The practitioner can thus personalize their support and move from one use to another without changing tools or platforms.
The interactive aspect promotes patient engagement and buy-in. Adaptable environments allow each session to be precisely adjusted to the individual's needs, while maintaining complete control of the experience in real time.
Our technical service can be reached via live chat directly from your control platform. In the event of a problem with the VR headset, a diagnosis is made and the defective equipment is replaced within 48 hours if necessary, to ensure continuity of care.
