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.
Improving mood through VR can enhance overall quality of life, potentially reducing healthcare costs associated with anxiety disorders.
Exposure-based VR interventions can provide a scalable solution for mental health treatment, addressing the growing demand for accessible therapy options.
