Virtual reality isn’t just for video games anymore, it’s being used to cure phobias too.

One of the best ways to help people get over their fear of something is to expose them to it. Technologies like virtual reality have made it possible for therapists to safely immerse their patients in fear or anxiety-inducing scenarios, but this modern approach to treating mental health disorders hasn’t always been affordable and accessible for most.

Based in San Francisco, Limbix designs virtual reality software that therapists can use to simulate a variety of public environments for patients, coach them through these experiences and teach them various coping techniques.

In this episode of HealthRedesigned, we chat with Tony Hsieh, Co-founder and Product Lead at Limbix who discusses how virtual reality can be a powerful tool for treating mental health disorders.
