The problem of stress

In hospitals and Independent Treatment Centers (ZBCs), patients often experience tension or stress during medical procedures, interventions and treatments. Stress can cause increased blood pressure, respiratory rate or muscle tension and has a negative effect on the treatment.

Stress reduces the patient's well-being and recovery and also causes a greater perception of pain. Stressed patients also often have difficulty lying still and following instructions, which requires extra time and attention from healthcare staff.

Positive distraction

VRelax offers positive distraction in moments of pain, fear or stress. Patients are taken to beautiful virtual worlds that take them out of the negative emotion and relax them again. VRelax is scientifically validated and developed for and by patients and healthcare professionals. The app is CE + MDR certified and is easy to use without controllers and is therefore very suitable for the hectic hospital.

For children there are the Adventure Worlds to discover. The interactive experiences and exercises offer positive distraction for young and old, in order to improve the well-being of the patient.

For the treatment

VRelax reduces anxiety and helps lower heart rate and blood pressure, which can prevent procedures from being postponed. This saves time and money.

During the treatment

Stress is reduced and the pain sensation decreases. This allows the treatment to be performed more comfortably and quickly. This saves time and medication costs!
