Beginning
Alex gained every confidence from his doctorate research on stress reduction through immersive technology that this concept truly assisted people in need.
​
The studies showed data which revealed lower cortisol hormone levels combined with elevated levels of the resilience hormone DHEA after a few VR sessions. The alteration in hormone levels produced better results in DHEA-to-cortisol ratio which leads to known biomarkers associated with better stress adaptation together with emotional balance as well as psychological well-being.
The accumulation of academic studies demonstrated to him how modern existence damaged mental health while showing him that virtual reality presented itself as a crucial path toward relief.
