When Virtual Reality becomes the key to treat schizophrenia
Nicole will talk about the groundbreaking new research project in DK, Challenge, where a virtual reality simulation is the core of a novel treatment targeting the hallmark symptoms of schizophrenia – hearing malevolent voices.
The VR software allows the therapist and patient to create a digital twin (avatar) of the voice from inside the patient’s head. While the patient wears a VR headset, the therapist embodies the avatar in real time and pretends to be the malevolent voice.
