Healium

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.

The evidence supports Healium as a VR-based biofeedback wellness tool aimed at stress and anxiety self-management, with real-time feedback and guided sessions. The research and company materials suggest possible benefits for calmness, engagement, and self-regulation, but the evidence provided is not strong enough to support it as a proven treatment. Claims about rapid effects and broader clinical outcomes should be treated cautiously.
