startup fobos.tech and the portal Twojpsycholog.pl have announced a partnership that marks the largest implementation of virtual reality (VR) technology in the history of the Polish psychological sector. Through the integration of these platforms, over 6,000 mental health specialists will gain access to modern tools designed to support the therapeutic process.

The Context of Modern Therapy

  • Statistics: According to fobos.tech data, more than half of patients in therapeutic facilities attend therapy due to phobias, social anxieties, or traumas.
  • Risk Groups: Individuals living near areas engulfed by armed conflict are particularly vulnerable to these conditions.
  • Trends: A clear trend in recent years is the higher incidence of anxiety and social phobias among young people.
  • Challenges: While traditional therapy is the primary means of support, specialists often need tools to strengthen certain stimuli, encounter complications at specific stages, or face limitations regarding immersion. Overfilled schedules also prevent the regular arrangement of traditional exposure therapy.

The Solution: VRET Technology

The fobos.tech solution provides specialists with a tool for deepening immersion in Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET).

  • Accessibility: Realistic 360° videos created with professionals are accessible via phone and computer.
  • Hardware: A special VR headset is not required, though the application is compatible with them.
  • Customization: The scenarios are profiled for the needs of the participant and specific clinical applications.

Pilot Program and Development

To make this tool available to more clinics, fobos.tech is launching a pilot program with Twójpsycholog.pl, providing 6,000 specialists with free access to the application, training, and implementation assistance.

„We believe that technology in the hands of a specialist can significantly increase the quality of psychological help – and the partnership with fobos.tech is another step toward modernity.” — Krzysztof Sienicki, CEO of Twojpsycholog.pl

Piotr Reich, the main shareholder and investor of fobos.tech, emphasizes that the pilot focuses on client comfort. He explains that specialists can use films addressing specific ailments, allowing patients to safely „immerse” themselves while the therapist maintains full control over the exposure.

Scientific Basis and Global Reach

  • Tailored Approach: fobos.tech discusses process perspectives with each specialist to adapt solutions to their specific practice.
  • Feedback-Driven: The app is developed based on feedback from real cases in therapeutic settings and the work of a scientific board.
  • Effectiveness: Research shows high effectiveness in reducing social anxiety, yielding results comparable to traditional real-world exposure therapy. It is also consistent with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) standards.
  • Availability: The solution is used in 10 countries, including the USA, India, Australia, South Africa, Germany, and the UK.

Note: fobos.tech is designed as a supplemental tool to enhance traditional therapy; it does not replace the therapeutic relationship.
