The acquisition of Rescape Innovation by Healthy Mind marks an important milestone in our mission: providing patients and healthcare professionals with a therapeutic virtual reality (VR) medical device that is increasingly accessible, personalized, and effective. This integration not only expands our content library but also reinforces our footprint in a rapidly growing market for therapeutic VR in the United Kingdom.
Rescape Innovation: a UK pioneer in therapeutic VR
Since its creation, Rescape Innovation has played a key role in advancing therapeutic virtual reality in the UK. Its leading product Class I medical device, DR.VR™, has been used in numerous NHS (National Health Service) facilities to help patients reduce pre-procedure anxiety, better manage pain, or simply escape into calming virtual environments.
Over the years, the Rescape team has designed a unique collection of immersive content: natural landscapes, relaxation spaces, interactive games for children, and sensory experiences tailored to different patient needs.
This rich content library and the clinical value it represents is what Healthy Mind aimed to integrate and evolve within its own solution.
Enriched content to support care pathways
Through this acquisition, we are integrating:
- 22 new therapeutic environments
- 2 additional interactive games for children
These experiences broaden and reinforce our existing catalogue. They give healthcare professionals even more flexibility to tailor VR sessions to patients’ needs, whether for:
- managing anxiety-inducing situations,
- supporting pain management,
- guided relaxation,
- immersive distraction for younger patients, or
emotional support throughout long and complex care journeys.
With these additions, our application now offers a wider variety of immersive pathways, enabling more personalized support across diverse clinical contexts and patient preferences.

A strategic opportunity for growth in the UK
Beyond expanding our content catalogue, this acquisition marks a major step in our UK development strategy. The UK is one of Europe’s most dynamic markets for digital health and the adoption of new technologies in hospital settings.
By integrating Rescape’s content and customer base, Healthy Mind strengthens its presence locally and pursues a clear objective:
- contributing to the deployment of therapeutic VR within the NHS and private hospitals,
- facilitating the adoption of high-quality immersive solutions,
- and building strong partnerships with UK healthcare stakeholders.
As Lloyd Harding, our UK Sales Director, explains:
“The arrival of this new content and customer base is a great opportunity to help UK healthcare teams become even more familiar with therapeutic VR. We’re ready to support hospitals and clinics long-term as they adopt these immersive tools.”
Making therapeutic VR accessible and effective
This acquisition aligns perfectly with our long-term vision: establishing VR as a recognized therapeutic medical device evidence-based, scientifically validated, and easy to use for all healthcare professionals.
By integrating Rescape’s content into our ecosystem, we strengthen:
- the diversity of our catalogue,
- the adaptability of our solution to various patient profiles and clinical situations,
- our positioning across Europe,
- and our continuous commitment to innovation through new environments and upcoming features.
In summary: a more complete solution to reduce pain and anxiety
Thanks to this integration, Healthy Mind now offers:
- 46 therapeutic immersive experiences,
- 4 interactive games for children,
- over 150 “My Shelter” meditation journeys,
- and a strengthened presence in the United Kingdom.
A new milestone in our development and, above all, a concrete step forward for all healthcare teams and patients who use therapeutic VR every day.
