Therapeutic Gameplay for Healing | Ryan Douglas

@MAGICademy S3E5, we had a great conversation with @Ryan Laverty, founder of @DeepWell DTx focusing on digital therapeutics through immersive game design. There have been studies in this space showing how (VR) games can leverage immersion and interactivity for therapeutic applications like providing engaging distractions for pain management, simulating controlled virtual environments for exposure therapy in varied mental health conditions (stress, anxiety, etc), and creating motivating gamified exercises for rehabilitation, ultimately enhancing players’ experiences and outcomes. 😃
