Unlocking Mental Wellness with VR: Nik Vassev from NOVOBEING | FOP016

Novobeing (ex Rocket VR), a Boston-based startup co-founded in August 2021, offers digital therapeutics and an immersive mental health platform with guided support groups, mindful meditations, and transformational VR experiences. The founders, Nik Vassev and Sid Desai, started the company with a mission to improve patient experience, specifically in cancer treatment. They found that there was a lack of complementary mental health and well-being support for patients undergoing cancer treatments, which is where they saw the potential for VR to revolutionize supportive care.

Novobeing's platform takes patients to environments that change their mood, with surround sound music and interactivity that allows them to time their breath and attend different classes from the comfort of their homes. The platform is not just limited to cancer patients, but also offers solutions for other types of uses within the healthcare environment. Novobeing is getting ready to launch a more general stress reduction and well-being application that is based on mindfulness, breath work, and gamified cognitive behavioral therapy.
