VR mindfulness can effectively lower anxiety levels.

What You'll Do

Try a 2-minute guided VR mindfulness exercise to help reduce anxiety.

Scientific Basis

Meta‑analytical evidence shows VR interventions reduce anxiety post‑treatment with g = 0.79 (95% CI 0.57–1.02), equivalent to NNT ≈ 2.4, improving mood via robust therapeutic effect.

The Science of Impact

1

The NNT (Number Needed to Treat) for VR interventions is approximately 2.4, meaning that for every 2-3 individuals treated, one will experience significant anxiety relief.

2

Improving mood through VR can enhance overall quality of life, potentially reducing healthcare costs associated with anxiety disorders.

3

Exposure-based VR interventions can provide a scalable solution for mental health treatment, addressing the growing demand for accessible therapy options.
