Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence in Treatment for Patients With Psychosis

A mental health professional (VR therapist) will be together with the patient when VR treatment is provided. The VR therapist will help put on the VR headset, start the program and encourage the patient to apply the learning from RecoVRy to real-world challenges by setting up homework tasks to be carried out between VR sessions. The application will run through Meta Quest 2/3®. RecoVRy is designed as a repeated behavioural procedure in which the main focus is for participants to learn that they are safer than assumed. Participants can proceed at their own pace, allowing for more or less than 8 (+/- 2) sessions of VR treatment. Scenarios and levels may be repeated if necessary

Patients randomized to this condition will receive a total of ten sessions of VR games.
