VRforHealth is an independent, women-led Therapeutic Virtual Reality consultancy and community media platform, born in 2020.
Our mission is to advance the knowledge and use of evidence-based TVR for the benefit of those suffering from anxiety, pain, rehabilitation, and other mental health conditions. We create collaborative impact initiatives to connect the therapeutic VR industry, healthcare professionals, patient networks, and institutions on one platform, in support of this mission. In these initiatives, we focus on a specific aspect of Therapeutic VR, understanding patient and professional needs, driving awareness, clinical research, data analysis, and more
About
VRforHealth begins with two women on a mission, Denise Silber, a digital health pioneer and patient engagement advocate in Paris, France. Beth Savoldelli, a business development professional, cancer survivor, and patient advocate in Dallas, Texas.
Believing in the power of therapeutic VR, they travel to the 2019 Cedar Sinai Virtual Medicine conference. Denise Silber moderates the patient testimonials and emits a call to action for VR awareness and action. Beth Savoldelli, seeking to use her professional skills to leverage the ecosystem for patients, reaches out to Denise. A team is formed.
