VRTU uses virtual reality to achieve social impact with a focus on mental health applications. It currently produces VR content to provide caregivers and patients therapeutic resources to combat symptoms of dementia, such as memory loss, anxiety, and depression. VRTU takes a unique approach to an existing form of dementia treatment called Reminiscence Therapy (RT), which reactivates old memories to enhance cognitive functions and emotional wellbeing of dementia patients. VRTU’s subscription-based mobile app contains a catalogue of virtual simulations of historic scenes that can be used to facilitate RT. Compared to conventional forms of RT like verbal discussions or physical constructions, VRTU's approach is more immersive, cost-effective, and accessible.
