Wow, this is just incredible! 🎉 Aspichi is doing such cool things in the field of VR therapy. I have always believed that virtual reality is something more than just entertainment. Wondering how exactly this technology helps people with anxiety and depression?
Hans
Yes, Olena, that's really impressive! I've read that VR therapy helps patients immerse themselves in a safe environment where they can practice stress management skills. It's like a real life simulator, but without the risks. 🧠💪
Sophie
It's just fantastic! 😍 I work as a psychologist and see how many people suffer from PTSD. If we had such technologies in our clinic, it could really change the lives of many patients. Hans, do you know if they plan to expand their presence in Europe?
Giovanni
Guys, I'm excited about Aspichi! 🚀 Imagine how this could change the approach to rehabilitation after surgeries. Patients will be able to practice in a virtual environment before trying it in real life. Sophie, I think that after the success in the USA, they will definitely come to us!
Boris
Ah, those fashionable things again. VR, shmiviar... In my time, people just talked to each other and everything was fine. Why those helmets? Only the head is confused and the money is extracted. It would be better to spend it on something useful.
Maria
Boris, I understand your skepticism, but technology can really help people. 🤗 My friend took a course of VR therapy after a car accident, and it really helped her overcome her fear of driving. Sometimes new methods can be very effective!
Pierre
Maria is right! 👍 I work in the IT industry, and I see how VR is changing different areas of life. Aspichi is a great example of how Ukrainian developers create world-class innovations. This is inspiring!
Olena
I agree with Pierre! 💡 It is simply incredible that a Ukrainian company is entering the US market with such innovative technology. This opens the door for other Ukrainian startups. Who knows, maybe soon we will see even more successful projects from Ukraine on the world stage!
