Virtual reality companies XRHealth and Amelia Virtual Care merge

Boston-based developer and operator of virtual treatment rooms XRHealth and Barcelona-based Amelia Virtual Care, a virtual reality (VR) platform for mental health, have announced their intention to merge into one company, which will remain called XRHealth. The merger aims to create an XR therapeutic powerhouse, capable of addressing both physical and mental health issues.

XRHealth supports clinicians in treating patients with complex medical conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, and has demonstrated efficacy in post-stroke rehabilitation, as well as a wide range of physical health issues including acute and chronic pain, stress and anxiety, among others. Care is provided through XRHealth’s platform which integrates immersive VR, augmented reality (AR) technology, clinician support, and advanced data analytics. Data is collected and transferred to the provider and patients can track their progress in XRHealth’s app. 

Amellia Virtual Care, formerly Psious VR, offers VR software for mental health professionals to use in clinical practice. The software, Amelia VR, provides over 140 virtual environments built on cognitive behavioural therapy.

"This solution is ideal for providers and third-party companies that want to help revolutionise healthcare with a XR software without investing time and money into building all the supporting infrastructure. We have a growing number of content partners today and expect this to increase dramatically after this merger," Miki Levy, cofounder and CTO of XRHealth, said in a statement. 

The finalisation of the merger is subject to shareholder approval from both companies.
