Details

PNI Therapeutics has developed the first digiceutical, software as medicine, to increase the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy infusion treatments, with the immersive power of Virtual Reality (VR). PNI Thrive is a 10 minute guided visualization, lightly interactive VR experience that patients experience while they are administered their chemotherapy infusion treatments. Viewers are taken on a journey and transported into an ethereal place to relax their mind and body. By combing the immersive power of VR and creative visualization, along with lightly interactive game-play mechanics, viewers are empowered to unleash the power of their immune system by directing T-Cells to defeat and eliminate cancerous cells within their body. This powerful visualization will complement and enhance chemotherapy treatments prescribed by physicians. The goal is to improve treatment outcomes for patients; to quicken their recovery, reduce mortality, and lower the total cost of treatment by increasing the efficacy of pharmaceuticals through the immersive power of Virtual Reality.

PNI Therapeutics needs students to tabulate, analyze, and report results of a small clinical trial of 15- 20 patients who are using PNI Thrive, the 10 minute guided visualization VR experience referenced above, as part of their alternative & complementary cancer treatments. Patients at Immunity Therapy Center clinic in Mexico are directed to use PNI Thrive once a day for a period of 10-15 days. Patient groups of 6-8 are using PNI Thrive for 10-15 days on a rolling basis, starting during the week of July 6, 2021. It is anticipated that all data will be collected by September 15, 2021.
