This past year, the product team at RealizedCare led by Jillian Ahrens, in collaboration with Hunter Hoffman, Ph.D., a pioneer in virtual reality pain management, spearheaded the exploration of Apple Vision Pro’s potential in enhancing pain relief, (e.g., distraction), and mindfulness. We called it?Project Aria. Our objective was to understand if we could take advantage of the introduction of spatial computing and increased immersiveness of the Apple Vision Pro to create an experience that reduces pain and improves mental well-being.
