Scientific Research
The evidence provided supports Healium as a brief biofeedback-based VR wellness tool that may help users manage stress and anxiety in short sessions. Research cited on the product pages and app listing suggests effects on stress, anxiety, mood, or pre-sleep calming, but the provided evidence does not establish medical treatment claims. A published randomized trial shows Healium as a brief decision aid for prostate cancer treatment preference elicitation, which is a different use case from the wellness product marketing.
About
Healium offers a drug-free solution for managing stress, anxiety, and burnout through real-time biofeedback and neurofeedback. It utilizes virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences to help users learn self-regulation of brain patterns. By using a BrainLink Lite EEG headband, users can visualize their brainwaves as an aura in VR, providing a unique and immersive way to engage with their mental health.
The platform is compatible with various devices, including VR headsets like Meta Quest and Pico, as well as mobile devices through its app available on iOS and Android. Users can track their progress over time with a personalized data dashboard that records Healium scores, heart rate data, and brainwaves. This data-driven approach allows users to monitor their mental fitness and make informed decisions about their wellness journey.
Healium also offers a neuromeditation curriculum called Heal-U, designed to enhance mental wellness results. Memberships include access to a library of immersive experiences and a 14-day free trial, allowing users to explore the benefits without initial commitment. The platform is suitable for both individual and enterprise use, providing tools for relaxation and mindfulness across various settings.
