Major companies operating in the mental health market are directing their focus toward technologically advanced products, such as virtual reality (VR) programs, to better cater to the needs of their existing consumers. The VR program is a computerized autonomous virtual reality therapy utilized in the treatment of agoraphobia in psychotic patients. Notably, in April 2022, OxfordVR, a UK-based developer of immersive technologies for mental health, introduced the GameChange VR program in the UK. This innovative initiative specifically targets psychosis, with a focus on reducing agoraphobia and facilitating the reintegration of individuals into their daily activities. Leveraging virtual reality, the program enables a transition from a confined home environment to an active outdoor life. The implementation of the GameChange VR program demonstrated significant reductions in avoidance of routine activities and the alleviation of suffering. Notably, individuals facing challenges in leaving their residences and those with severe psychological symptoms, such as intense anxiety, sadness, delusions, and hallucinations, experienced substantial improvements.
