KetamineOne Capital Limited (“Ketamine One” or the
“Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (Frankfurt: MY0), a
company focused on consolidating medical clinics and becoming a
North American leader in mental health treatments, is pleased to
announce it has signed an exclusive agreement for the use of
virtual reality (“
VR”) technology in psychedelic
treatments with OVR Tech LLC (“
OVR Technology”) to
provide its INHALE Wellness Platform over an initial term of two
years in Ketamine One’s clinics. The INHALE Wellness Platform is an
olfactory-enabled VR platform designed to deepen immersion, promote
relaxation and help manage stress.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
exclusive agreement, OVR Technology will provide its proprietary
technology and services for Ketamine One to use with its
psychedelic-assisted treatments involving ketamine, psilocybin, DMT
and MDMA in order to help improve patient outcomes. OVR
Technology’s INHALE Wellness Platform combines the benefits of
mindfulness, breathwork and meditation with the next generation of
aromatherapy. It includes a head-mounted display, the ION device
(the “ION”) and scent cartridges, as well as
several scent-focused nature scenes. The ION is lightweight,
wireless and emits scent particles in coordination with VR
technology designed to deepen a patient’s immersive experience.
The Architecture of Scent® platform
and ION Device
OVR Technology’s Architecture of Scent® platform
brings together software, Scentware™, and hardware via the ION,
while also including replaceable cartridges and an Olfactory
Experience Engine that allows scent to be triggered during a VR
experience. Scents delivered through the ION are water-based and
made from a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients that
have undergone extensive testing. While VR technology is widely
known to incorporate sight and sound, this partnership provides
Ketamine One with the capability to generate more realistic
Immersive Virtual Reality (“IVR”) service
offerings via scent at its network of clinics, which is expected to
enhance experiences and help improve patient treatment
outcomes.
The concept for the Architecture of Scent® and
ION device was based on the idea that scent in VR could
dramatically increase immersion. Computer simulations in which
patients can interact within virtual three-dimensional environments
can help put patients in calming settings and improve relaxation
through the addition of scents. Research has shown that scents
elicit emotional and evocative associations and can immediately
alter mood.1 Other research shows that, as soon as an odor is
registered by the brain, it activates the amygdala-hippocampal
complex in the limbic system where emotions, memories, and
associations are processed, nearly instantaneously.2
Management Commentary
“We believe that the ION device contains the
most accurate on-mask scent technology currently available on the
market. The ability for our clinicians to alter perceptual
experiences with VR and the ION is extremely promising. Optimizing
the therapeutic setting is one of the main goals of our VR-based
research and development program and being able to utilize the
sense of smell to help patients relax, reduce tension and lower
stress is expected to result in the development of a comprehensive
treatment,” said Dr. Quang Henderson, Chair of Ketamine One’s
Clinic Innovation Council.
“Our access to a large patient population and
enhanced research capabilities through our wholly-owned contract
research organization, KGK Science, along with OVR Technology’s
innovative platform, on a combined basis have the potential to lead
to clinically validated solutions for use not only in our
facilities, but also in patients’ homes, through the development of
a portable digital therapeutic offering in the future,” added Adam
Deffett, Interim CEO of Ketamine One.
“This is the first VR platform that understands
user behavior in the virtual world and responds with real-time
sensory stimulation. It has the potential to significantly enhance
the wellness capabilities of an already promising technology,” said
Aaron Wisniewski, CEO and co-founder of OVR Technology.
