FarmWell VR 

Your journey to mental wellbeing begins here.

FarmWell VR is an AI therapist designed primarily for young New Zealand farmers, interacted with through a fully 3D virtual reality space. The app aims to increase access to therapy for farmers to decrease rates of depression and anxiety.

Combining both generative Artificial Intelligence, with the immersive experience of Virtual Reality, FarmWell VR represents a pioneering solution to a prevalent issue within New Zealand's rural communities. Based on OpenAI's ChatGPT API, FarmWell VR allows the user to talk with an AI therapist in a calming, outdoor space. Designed specifically to understand the needs and complexities that working within the agricultural industry might bring, the app can be accessed anonymously 24/7, 365 days a year, from the comfort of the patient's home, removing the time and social commitments that visiting a traditional therapist might take.

For users without a VR headset, FarmWell VR plans to offer an inclusive package, providing headsets pre-installed with the app. These headsets can then be returned to the company at a later date, making it an accessible and hassle-free solution.

While only just a prototype, future versions of the app will allow the user to customize the experience to their liking, with settings to both change the time of day and the appearance of the virtual therapist. Additional environments are also planned to be added, allowing the user to be in complete control of the entire experience.

FarmWell VR showcases a potential vision of the future and explores how AI can be used to help improve people's everyday lives. Once only possible in the realm of science fiction, FarmWell VR offers users the ability to take control of their mental health, in an immersive, safe space.
