Virtual Reality is a proven therapeutic and training tool
Virtual reality has proven its efficacy in exposure therapy, helping individuals to overcome phobias, anxiety and PTSD by safely immersing them in triggering situations¹.
By recreating anxiety-inducing scenarios within a controlled space, VR allows individuals to gradually confront and conquer their fears. It has also demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in developing soft skills. The ability to customise repetitive exposure to the user’s makes the training even more effective and true-to-life.

Testimonials
After testing the VR environment myself, I am pretty confident that, combined with therapy, training in VR will increase the chances of reintegration success.
Understanding when someone is ready to go back to work is a critical step in the recovery process after a burnout.
Melimpus is filling an important gap in the reintegration space.
We help people train to return to work
Through the power of Virtual Reality, health therapists can immerse their clients in a controlled environment in which they learn to cope with typical workplace scenarios, prepare for reintegration, and develop useful soft skills.
