It is often a challenge to treat individuals suffering from phobias, as they struggle to confront the situations that trigger their anxiety. Frequently exposing them to real-world environments to train in handling stress is always not practical.
What if patients with phobia are immersed in a virtual reality (VR) experience that mimics their triggers, and guided by an AI-powered Avatar of a therapist/doctor on the screen? The therapist expertly coaches them on how to manage anxiety in a calm and controlled manner, while the patient is just sitting in the hospital.
We are thrilled to share that Manaha Clinic has been featured in today’s edition of a leading news daily Telangana Today for our groundbreaking work in the treatment of phobias using Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This recognition highlights the strides we’re making in revolutionizing mental health care through advanced technology.
The article authored by Mr. M. Sai Gopal emphasizes how Manaha Clinic is transforming traditional phobia therapy by immersing patients in realistic virtual environments, from heights to confined spaces, while being guided by an AI powered avatar. Our patients receive expert support from therapists while practicing anxiety management techniques in a safe, controlled setting.
Dr. K Jyothirmayi, our Chief Psychiatrist and Founder, shared insights on how our innovative approach has shown encouraging results. From simulating flights for those with a fear of flying to addressing claustrophobia in virtual elevators, Manaha is using these tools to help patients gradually confront and overcome their fears.
The article also highlighted our real-time anxiety monitoring system, which ensures that patients are progressing at a comfortable pace, while effectively managing their stress during therapy.
We are honored to be recognized for our efforts in pushing the boundaries of mental health care and look forward to continuing our mission of providing effective, cutting-edge treatment for individuals struggling with phobias.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to share our journey and the impactful work we are doing at Manaha Clinic!
