Expected Effects
Funnikulus aims for effects beyond IRT support, extending to sleep and psychological stability.
Treatment support effects
Direct therapeutic support through the combination of IRT and XR.
- Addressing limitations of existing IRT
- VR immersion can support existing IRT, which placed a heavy burden on imagination and engagement, and may help reduce the proportion of treatment non-responders.
- Improved sense of control in nightmares
- By repeatedly experiencing and restructuring nightmare scenarios in a virtual environment, we aim to strengthen users' sense of control within nightmares.
- Alleviation of PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
- Through emotional restructuring and body-based mastery restoration, we are exploring the potential for alleviating trauma-related symptoms.
Sleep and psychological outcomes
Effects of nightmare reduction on sleep and daily life.
- Improved sleep quality
- We expect improvement in sleep quality and daytime functioning through reduced nightmare frequency and intensity.
- Greater psychological stability
- We aim for reduced anxiety and greater psychological stability through restored sense of control and emotional processing experiences.
Service and scalability
Expansion as an XR+AI-based digital health service.
- XR+AI-based treatment support platform
- We are exploring scalability of treatment support through personalized scenario generation, gamification, and counselor–client integration.
Effects are being validated through research.
