Biosensor-Integrated Virtual Reality for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Psychosis: A Systematic Review of a New Therapeutic Frontier
Overview
This systematic review examines the use of biosensor-integrated virtual reality as a therapeutic tool for psychosis, aiming to address engagement issues and subjective reporting limitations in standard CBT. The authors analyze twelve randomized controlled trials involving 1504 participants to evaluate VR-assisted interventions, including AVATAR therapy, against control conditions. The resource reports that these interventions significantly reduced auditory verbal hallucinations and paranoid thoughts, supporting the potential of AI-driven, closed-loop systems for personalized care.
