Amelia Virtual Care

The firm provides a virtual reality (VR) platform for mental health professionals, including psychologists and therapists. This B2B SaaS model generates revenue through monthly subscription fees, granting clinicians access to its extensive library. The platform is designed to be a flexible tool, not a set program, used during patient sessions on a VR headset controlled by the therapist's computer or tablet. It supports both in-person and remote therapy, integrating with a therapist's existing workflow. The technology is grounded in established psychological paradigms like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering tools for exposure therapy, systematic desensitization, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques.

The platform features over 140 virtual environments to treat a variety of conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and stress. A key feature is the ability for therapists to control and customize the virtual scenarios in real-time. For enhanced data collection, the system can incorporate biofeedback through an electrodermal response sensor that measures the patient's physiological stress levels during a session. Therapists can also track progress through session reports which may include heatmaps showing where a patient focused their attention within the virtual environment. A significant milestone occurred in April 2023, when Amelia Virtual Care announced its merger with XRHealth, a Boston-based developer of virtual treatment rooms for physical therapy. This strategic union created the largest XR therapeutics platform, combining Amelia's mental health expertise with XRHealth's capabilities in treating physical conditions like chronic pain and providing post-stroke rehabilitation. The merged entity continues under the XRHealth name, with Palomer taking the role of Chief Growth Officer.
