3. I want to use VR in oncologic fitness..someone had tips for me ?

4. a trigger warning would have been nice..

5. It is truly amazing how far we have come, and how far we have to go. Thank you for sharing the work and being a voice to get the word out!

6. You don’t need VR. You’ll get the same result from yoga, meditation and watching relaxation videos.

7. what about the use of VR for non prisoners – those who are struggling with PTSD or other types of mental health concerns like depression? This would be a great way to help some of our young adults who are dealing with these types of concerns in record numbers – is this being explored?

8. Tremendous

9. Still love you so, Matt, so I visit you once in a while. Just you and Uncle Bob (I read his obit).

10. And I'm all for any type of treatment that doesn't involve medication because with meds you might get the desired effect but it seems like when it comes to meds they help you in one area but cause you problems in another, then they want to put you on another pill for the new problem which might help it but the cycle just repeats itself and causes yet another problem and continues until your a half dead zombie with 20 different meds…

11. I actually thought about this about 8 years back when playing fallout new vegas, but my idea was for problems like agoraphobia and social anxiety disorder doing things as you would in your normal everyday life like talking to people, driving, going out to grab some food and other simple things that some of us have problems with. Basically pre exposure therapy followed by real exposure therapy.

12. Amazing! Thank you for the work you are doing!

13. Great talk, Matt! So good to see the amazing work you and your team are doing getting some publicity.

14. Great talk Matt! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story…your team is doing awesome work inventing new models for improving our mental health!

15. I'm totally with this guy,think it's amazing!! But idk if every single inmate should have this gift lol

16. Great talk — fascinating VR applications for the future! Hope to see you speak more often!

17. This is really interesting!
