Our technology

Advanced VR Platform Designed for Therapists

A flexible platform for utilizing and evaluating VR exposure therapy scenarios, compatible with smartphones.

Immersive 360° Scenarios

Therapeutically relevant virtual environments designed for controlled, gradual exposure.

Universal Compatibility

Support for all VR devices - from professional headsets to accessible solutions like Google Cardboard.

Therapist Preview Mode

Intuitive interface for therapists to review and select appropriate VR scenarios prior to client exposure.

Easy Client Navigation

Simplified controls ensure a comfortable and intuitive client experience within the VR environment.

Versatile Solution

fobos works seamlessly on both Android and iOS devices

Evidence-Based Approach

Validated VRET Principles & Integrated SUD Guidance

Our platform is grounded in research on Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) effectiveness and incorporates Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) tracking to support the therapeutic process.

VRET Effectiveness in Research

Reduces Anxiety Symptoms

Meta-analyses show VRET significantly decreases social anxiety compared to waitlist controls (effect size g=0.82-0.90).

Comparable to In-Vivo Exposure

Studies indicate VRET yields results comparable to traditional real-world exposure therapy for social anxiety (minimal effect size differences noted in meta-analyses).

Aligns with CBT Standards

Research suggests VRET effectiveness is comparable to established cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches for anxiety disorders.

Note: fobos is designed as a supplementary tool to enhance traditional therapy, leveraging therapist expertise alongside VR capabilities. It does not replace the therapeutic relationship.

Built-in SUD Monitoring & Guidance

Integrated SUD Level Tracking

The platform facilitates systematic recording of Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) ratings before and after VR exposure, enabling quantifiable monitoring of client anxiety and response.

Data-Informed Exposure Guidance

SUD ratings analysis provides insights to guide the therapeutic process, informing decisions about exposure hierarchy progression within the fobos application.

Adaptive Session Recommendations

Based on tracked SUD data, the system offers recommendations for session adjustments, such as repeating a scenario or advancing to the next level of exposure intensity.

Clinical Validation of Exposure Induction

Internal validation using fobos demonstrated effectiveness in reducing social anxiety symptoms at the same level as imagery technique.
