Mindfulness Virtual Reality (VR)
Can VR be a viable mental health tool? I had the opportunity to determine the feasibility of a VR mindfulness program among students.

TIMELINE
Mid 2022 - Late 2022
PROBLEM
The client wanted to know if their VR mindfulness product was a promising and scalable tool in real-world settings.
PROJECTS
PROOF OF CONCEPT
Our team of researchers tested the program for 8 weeks among students. We collected pre-, mid-, and post-surveys to observe changes in stress, awareness, and compassion.
I conducted the study and the analysis. It was interesting to see different people’s reactions to a VR mindfulness program, which at the time was still relatively a novel method.
IMPACT
TRIPP was a feasible tool to use among students in real-world settings.
Students’ stress decreased, and their mindful awareness and self-compassion increased.
