Xcope
Xcope provides a virtual reality-based therapeutic system that reduces pain and anxiety for patients in surgical environments. The platform immerses patients in 3D natural settings with medical hypnosis scripts, breathing exercises, and soothing soundscapes, supported by clinical studies showing reduced pre-surgical anxiety and postoperative pain. Clinicians control sessions via a touchscreen tablet, adjusting immersion duration from 5 to 80 minutes and communicating with patients in real time.

Problem
Patients undergoing surgical procedures frequently experience significant preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain, which can complicate recovery and increase medication requirements. Traditional pharmacological interventions for anxiety and pain management may have side effects and do not address the psychological and emotional dimensions of the surgical experience.
Solution
Xcope offers a virtual reality-based therapeutic system designed to reduce pain and anxiety in surgical environments. The platform immerses patients in carefully designed 3D environments featuring natural or therapeutic settings, combined with soothing soundscapes, medical hypnosis scripts, and targeted breathing exercises. Developed in close collaboration with physicians and neuroscience experts and supported by clinical studies, the solution leverages the brain's cognitive abilities to modulate pain pathways through visual and auditory stimulation, attention diversion, and advanced psychological techniques. The system includes a touchscreen tablet for clinicians to configure, calibrate, and monitor each patient's session in real time, with adjustable immersion duration from 5 to 80 minutes. Clinicians can personalize experiences by selecting scenarios, adjusting audio parameters, and activating interactive features such as live voice guidance or breathing exercises. The complete hardware package includes a VR headset, active noise-cancelling headphones, a microphone for live hypnosis, modular battery packs, and disposable hygiene kits designed for rapid patient turnover in clinical settings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are healthcare institutions, hospitals, and surgical centers seeking to enhance patient experience and outcomes in operating rooms, as well as clinicians including anesthesiologists, surgeons, and perioperative care teams.
