LifePath XR

Part of 2024 Highlights, Understanding Society: A Festival of Social Science
1 Nov 2024 10:40

LifePathXR is a virtual reality tool which will enable people with lived experience of common mental health problems to capture their lifestories in an engaging way, to share with others (including healthcare professionals) and to engage with their own stories therapeutically.

In the LifePathXR project, the lead partner Human Studio and the University of Sheffield (School of Medicine and Population Health, AMRC) worked with Sheffield Flourish, a mental health charity, to co-design a prototype version of the tool.

This video, funded by the University and produced by Human Studio, shows the Flourish members talking about their involvement in the project.

The LifePathXR project was funded by Innovate UK as part of the Mindset: Extended Reality (XR) for Digital Mental Health Programme.
