The fear of falling
Among seniors, falls are a major cause of loss of independence, particularly because they reduce mobility and promote social isolation . Following a fall, it is very common for a person to fear falling again, even if they are physically perfectly capable of walking.
We have therefore created a therapeutic protocol in virtual reality that helps reduce post-traumatic stress related to the fall.
The goal is to restore confidence and prolong the independence of seniors.
Virtual reality in the service of healthy aging
At Teleport IN, our goal is to support seniors by addressing their emotional and psychological needs, thereby prolonging their independence at home. Thanks to our partner KLESIA, we will be able to deploy 50 virtual reality headsets, equipped with our therapeutic protocol, within home care services (SSAD and SSIAD).
EMOCHUTE
The EMOCHUTE therapeutic protocol was designed by Dr. Mauraine Carlier, Scientific Director at Teleport IN.
It benefits from a technical innovation specific to virtual reality which allows us to immerse our brain in an experience that frees it from all conditioning and gives it access to new modes of reaction.
Also, its innovative scientific approach lies in a combination of non-drug therapeutic approaches that is unique in the world.
Significant results
A preliminary clinical study was conducted on approximately forty people in partnership with the Emile Roux Hospital in Le Puy-en-Velay. Thanks to our protocol, the fear of falling decreased significantly by up to 27% .
The results were validated by the FES-I scientific questionnaire on people aged 82 years on average with a score of 32.
We are continuing to study this protocol in order to broaden the results and evolve our approach according to the needs of seniors.

“After 21 days of using the STVR [Self Treatment Virtual Reality] device, I observed spectacular results in terms of self-confidence. Today, I use it every day for 12 minutes. It’s my daily break, the moment when I reconnect with myself.”
