Rocket VR is a healthcare technology company that is developing evidence-based virtual reality therapies that enhance the quality of life of cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. With the company’s platform hospitals can provide mental health support at scale and offer virtual therapy to patients regardless of physical location. Rocket VR’s digital interventions take clinically validated treatment modalities and transform them into fully-immersive virtual treatments that make psychosocial care for cancer more effective, accessible, and data-driven. Rocket VR is pioneering the “Virtual Therapy Metaverse” that allows patients to leave their hospital room and enter 20 hyper-realistic nature environments, access proven therapies, meditations and spend time with their families or peers. Being in nature (even digitally) contributes to improved physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. The company has assembled a world-class VR team, have built a prototype and are working with 2 leading research hospitals to launch multiple groundbreaking studies this year.
