AboutnDigital behavioral therapeutics - any form of intervention to improve mental or physical wellbeing - delivered as immersive experiences with VR/XR/AR technology promise a transformational pathway in healthcare practices. The design of the digital spaces - & how we interact with them - physically, visually & psychologically - shapes our perception about ourselves & the experience, just like any physical space & how we engage with it.nTraditional game design principles & technologies are a starting point for creating immersive therapies. Yet these approaches need to be adapted to take account when a digital environment overlaps with a physical environment & the precision of ongoing measurement, with relation to the specific effects the environment has on the user, at any one moment, across time, & away from the digital experience itself. Without a multi-dimensional framework, any claimed therapeutic value must be considered marginal, if not suspect.nThe rapidly growing opportunity to use the spectrum of digital spatial technologies for health applications can & should unfold in the direction of evidence-backed claims & alignment with standards for digital health. Yet to have significant impact on population health outcomes, any technology must evolve towards mass adoption & equitable distribution. These objectives are often in tension.nThe panel's conversation explores the design decisions involved in creating digital spatial therapeutics, & the strategies - including trade-offs & long plays - required to bring them to scale while respecting the need for user safety & user trust in the legitimacy of the intervention.nLeading the conversation are Nanea Reeves, CEO & Founder of TRIPP, lauded as a best invention of 2022 & the most used meditation app in VR, & Noah Falstein of The Inspiracy, who has over 40 years of game design leadership & designer of numerous games for health, with Julia Scott, cofounder of Gambit Labs & Director of the Brain & Memory Care Lab, & John Manoochehri, Founder of Treasury.nSpeakersnDr. Julia ScottnCEO, Chief Science Offier, Gambit Labs, Director of Brain & Memory Care Lab, Santa Clara UniversitynJulia Scott is a neuroscientist who has studied at various University of California campuses, including Davis, San Diego, & San Francisco. Her research focuses on various aspects of neurodevelopment, brain aging, & neurotechnology. She currently works as the director of the Brain & Memory Care Lab at Santa Clara University, where she explores XR applications in healthcare. Julia also teaches courses in neuroscience, bioengineering, & physiology, with a focus on collaborative learning. Additionally, she is a co-founder of Gambit Labs, where she works on brain-computer-interface immersive games to improve cognitive skills.nNoah FalsteinnFounder, The InspiracynNoah Falstein has been a professional game developer since 1980 with many hit title credits & was an early hire at LucasArts, 3DO, & Dreamworks Interactive. Most recently he was Google's Chief Game Designer. His freelance design business, The Inspiracy is focused on games for health, specifically neurogaming. The Inspiracy has offered design & production consulting for companies & individuals interested in top quality game development & business contacts. Falstein also lectures & conducts seminars on game design & development, for both traditional & serious games.nnHe has chapters published in six different game industry books, & is working on his own book about game design issues.nNanea ReevesnCEO & Co-Founder, TRIPPnAs the CEO & Co-Founder of TRIPP, Nanea Reeves is a visionary leader in the emerging field of immersive wellness. TRIPP, which was named one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2022, is a global service that offers interactive & transformative experiences for mental & emotional well-being on mobile & spatial devices. Nanea founded TRIPP after a personal crisis that inspired her to combine her lifelong meditation practice, her passion for video games, & her extensive software development experience to create a novel & accessible way to help people cope with stress, anxiety, & depression.nnNanea has over 20 years of experience in digital distribution, video game technologies, & mobile application development.nJohn ManoochehrinCEO & Founder, TreasurynJohn Manoochehri is an architect & environmental scientist, with a specialization in computational design. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Oxford, a diploma in architecture from the Royal College of Art in Stockholm, & has taught architecture, urban design planning studios & courses at the Royal Institute of Technology Architecture School in Stockholm. He previously founded an architectural design technology company, Last Meter, focussing on designing & adapting modern residences & commercial buildings to integrate third-party services, & founded a podcast on spatial technology, Futureperfect, sponsored by Epic Games.nHosted By:nTreasurynTreasury is a registry & discovery system for the worlds most valuable spatial assets - architectural design, film scenes & sets, real estate, world monuments, experiential art, nature scans, & other spatial content.nTreasury is co-founded with Zaha Hadid architects, Spaceform (backed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Thomas Heatherwick & UNStudio), & more - & financed in part by Googles AI investment fund, Gradient.nTreasury protects & distributes the work of spatial creators - architects, real estate owners, artists, engineers, & reality capture professionals - in the era of spatial computing & generative AI.nBuilders of digital environments & spatial computing applications are invited to request a private discovery engine here: treasury.space/builder.nCreators of spatial assets are invited to archive & fingerprint their work here: treasury.space/creator.nAnyone with a passion for spatial design & spatial computing can become an advocate for their favorite creators & experiences, & be rewarded for doing so, here: treasury.space/activator
