flag UK trial tests VR nature experiences as treatment for winter depression.

flag Anglia Ruskin University is leading a UK trial testing whether virtual reality can treat Seasonal Affective Disorder, a winter depression affecting up to 10% of people. flag Funded by Innovate UK, the study compares VR therapy—featuring immersive nature environments developed by Aerial Icon and delivered via Reneural’s platform—to traditional treatments like light therapy and antidepressants. flag Researchers are recruiting UK adults with moderate to severe SAD symptoms who can attend sessions in Cambridge. flag The goal is to determine if VR offers a scalable, accessible alternative for those who don’t respond to current treatments. flag The project involves ARU, Aerial Icon, Reneural, and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.
