  • Description: The scene before me is one of several scenarios that make up gameChange - a VR system that Freeman and his colleagues are developing to treat psychosis. Because people experiencing psychosis often think bad things will happen in social situations, such as people trying to hurt them, they withdraw socially, leading to isolation and strengthening of their beliefs. [...]as the number of platforms and devices claiming to provide health benefits balloons, medical regulators and industry groups are scrambling to ensure that standards of clinical evidence are met. Digital-health company Welldoc, based in Columbia, Maryland, has BlueStar - an app that helps people to log their blood glucose, medications, activity, diet, blood pressure and weight, either manually or through Bluetoothenabled gadgets. WellDoc's type 2 diabetes management tool, BlueStar, was granted FDA approval in 2010. Because BlueStar was similar to existing therapies, this involved providing evidence of 'substantial equivalence' to existing diabetes-management software, rather than new clinical evidence.
