Virtual Reality Therapy Bridging the Gender Gap in Mental Health Research

Historically, mental health research and treatment have overlooked gender differences. Virtual Reality (VR) therapies present an opportunity to bridge this gap by providing gender-sensitive treatments that cater to the distinct needs of women. By simulating real-life scenarios and enabling personalized therapeutic experiences, VR can offer targeted support for issues more prevalent in women, such as body image concerns and sexual assault trauma.
