#PatientStory 🔖 In the ListenWell podcast series by Viatris, Dr. Mo Alsuwaidan and Dr. Louise Birkedal Glenthøj together with the patient advocate, Ms. Vibeke Andersen, discuss schizophrenia and how technology is being used in some treatments. Vibeke was part of the globally largest VR-based avatar therapy trial, led by VIRTU Research Group which used Heka VR avatar software in their research. Today she is a symptoms-free and healthy individual! Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel, and behave. Auditory hallucinations are one of the most frequent symptoms, involving hearing voices that aren't observed by others. #schizophrenia #digitalhealth #livedexperience Simon Max Bloch Lajboschitz Katarina Michelova Farah Shiraz Anders Bargum András Csikós

Om os
HEKA VR is a Virtual Reality software tool for therapists to support people suffering from auditory hallucinations, specifically, hearing malevolent voices. The software includes a virtual reality simulation training program and voice modulation in real time, which will enable the patient to face their malevolent voices and regain control. HEKA VR is a spin-out of Khora and was previously called Challenge. It is developed in collaboration with the Danish Regions: Region H, Region S and Region N. Currently in a double-blinded clinical trial with 266 patients. It has been supported by Danish Innovation Fund and has won Danish Digital Awards 2022, Danish Design Awards 2022 and Halo Award 2020.

At Heka VR we are happy to announce that we’re trialing software for avatar therapy via telehealth in Australia, at Swinburne University of Technology! 🙌 Neil Thomas, Dr Imogen Bell, Leila Jameel, and their team are using a telehealth version of HekaVR for treating auditory hallucinations, comparing it to standard CBT. One of their patients has struggled with voices since his 20s. With avatar therapy, he's now setting boundaries and challenging the voices, transforming them from bullies to critical friends. Our goal is to make these innovative treatments widely available across Australia in the future. Read more about their work and patient experience in the article! #MentalHealth #AvatarTherapy #Telehealth #CBT
Hearing voices is common and can be distressing. Virtual reality might help us meet and ‘treat’ them

📺 Check out this video! Our CEO, Simon Max Bloch Lajboschitz, recently shared insights about Heka VR in an engaging podcast interview with MetaRick. 🌟 In this short video, Simon dives into the ways we use of VR to support treatment of severe mental illness. Don't miss out on his perspective on how cutting-edge technology is transforming mental health care. Watch the video to learn more! #HekaVR #MentalHealthInnovation #VRinHealthcare #PodcastInterview #DigitalHealth #MentalHealthTech #Innovation #Psychiatry
500 Projects, 2,500 workshops Few agencies are more active and experienced producing VR, AR, and 360 video production. Episode 29 of MetaRick we talk to Simon Max Bloch Lajboschitz, CEO at Khora Virtual Reality about how he got involved in the XR community in Denmark, started their agency from a VR Arcade, and some specific examples of their groundbreaking work with XR for medicine. Immersive technologies have been used for quite some time to reduce the need for pain medication, and for a variety of mental health applications. Creating empathy for domestic violence victims, exposure therapy. In addition to all of the workshops and work for brands, Khora also invests a great deal into innovation for these medical use cases. Specifically, HekaVR for treating auditory hallucinations really grabbed my attention. This is a great example of something that simply cannot be achieved without full immersion in a VR headset. Here's a short clip of Simon explaining HekaVR, click "visit my website" for the full episode on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts. _______ *as a side note: (if you're interested in this topic, a deep dive into Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS and the work they're doing at Cedars-Sinai is worthwhile).

🗓 Last week marked an exciting milestone for our project co-funded by EIT Health and the European Commission. We were thrilled to host a physical kickoff meeting in #Copenhagen, where clinicians and researchers from the Universitat de Barcelona, Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Deu & Fundació de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu, Spain, and Medical University of Lodz, Poland, joined us for a few enriching days. Alongside VIRTU Research Group and #OPUS collaborators, we provided essential technical and clinical training to prepare our partners for upcoming endeavours. Although our Hungarian colleagues from Semmelweis University couldn’t join us in person, they are ready to conduct a pivotal pilot study in Hungary. This project aims to #accelerate the #adoption of #digital #MedicalDevices across the #EU. Our goal is to commercialise the Heka VR solution in Denmark, Hungary, Poland, and Spain through established clinical trials while addressing regulatory and reimbursement pathways. Additionally, we are estimating the health economic cost of #VRAvatarTherapy and planning for a strategic market entry into other EU countries. This project promises to offer #transformative insights into the potential of #VR in #healthcare. #innovation #psychiatry #MentalHealthTech #international #collaboration
