Problem
Substance use disorder treatment often lacks personalized tools to help patients visualize the long-term consequences of their choices and strengthen their commitment to recovery. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not effectively engage patients in future-oriented thinking, which is crucial for maintaining abstinence and preventing relapse.
Solution
Relate XR offers a virtual-reality-based therapeutic platform that uses personalized, AI-driven "digital doubles" to enhance substance use disorder treatment. Patients interact with avatars representing their potential future selves, visualizing the impact of their decisions and fostering a stronger connection to their recovery goals. The platform aims to activate key brain regions associated with introspection and future thinking, promoting increased delay tolerance and self-similarity. By providing clinicians with an immersive and personalized tool, Relate XR seeks to improve patient engagement and outcomes in substance use treatment.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes clinicians and treatment centers specializing in substance use disorder recovery, as well as researchers in the fields of addiction and behavioral health.
