Using Virtual and Augmented Reality to get rid of your specific phobia from your own couch
Dr. Tara Donker

Access to health care is strained, even more so by COVID-19. Recent eMental health developments now make it possible to create low-cost treatment that patients undergo at home without a therapist. This talk will focus on ZeroPhobia; a state-of-the-art virtual and augmented reality mental health program. Using the most rudimentary form of VR and AR, namely participant`s own smartphone and mobile VR goggles, we intend to take the next step and make evidence-based mental health care accessible for all. I will present three self-help AR/VR-based Therapies for fear of flying, -heights and -spiders.
