Hello,
Can you tell me more about the project? What problem are you addressing?
Thanks
Hello CryptoTonyBTC,
Thank you for the question.
Virtual Rehab has been established since 2017. Our focus has been on the Business-to-Business (B2B) market since the get-go. We are now looking to expand into the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) market.
Virtual Rehab's evidence-based solution leverages the advancements in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies for psychological rehabilitation of vulnerable populations (pain management, prevention of substance use disorders, enhancement of autistic individuals communication skills, and rehabilitation of repeat offenders).
Virtual Rehab is addressing a very serious problem. Below are some of the key statistics:
- 1 in 4 people will be affected by mental or neurological disorder at some point in their lives
- Around 450 million suffer today placing mental disorders among leading causes of ill-health and disability
- More than 20% of adults (aged 60+) suffer from mental or neurological disorder (that is more than 400 million by 2050)
- Alcohol and Substance Use account for 5.4% of worlds total percentage of disease
- Globally, 39 deaths per 100 000 population are attributable to Alcohol and illicit Drug use
- Drug & Alcohol relapse statistics may reach up to 90% following a period of recovery
- In the U.S. alone, 116 million adults struggle with chronic pain at a cost of $635 billion in lost productivity and treatment
- In 2012, healthcare providers wrote 259 million prescriptions for painkillers. Note that 100 people die every day due to opioid drug overdoses
- Close to 800 000 commit suicide annually
- 300 million are affected by depression
- 1 in 160 children has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- In the U.S. alone, 66% of released offenders recidivize within 3 years and 77% within 5 years
- Lack of focus on mental health & psychological well-being
Hope this helps.
Regards
Quite interesting.
