Access to mental health support is a constant problem - but one Kiwi start-up is working towards a solution.
Between the shortage of qualified professionals, long delays and high costs, plenty of New Zealanders aren't getting the help they need.
oVRcome specialises in VR Exposure Therapy - and the start-up is expected to showcase the technology at Melbourne’s Digital Health Festival.
oVRcome founder Adam Hutchinson says the company is focused around delivering exposure therapy through VR technology.
"We deliver virtual reality exposure therapy - it sort of tricks the brain into thinking that you're actually in that environment. Therefore, we've been able to prove recently that we've been able to get the results."
