About Us

Paperplane Therapeutics is at the forefront of developing virtual reality therapies that revolutionize patient care by effectively managing pain and anxiety in healthcare settings.

Specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies in Virtual Reality Since 2019

Dr. Fortin, an emergency physician, recognized the need for non-pharmacological solutions to enhance patient comfort during medical care. Teaming up with Prof. David Paquin, an expert in immersive technologies, they developed the company's first products. Successful clinical studies confirmed the effectiveness of their virtual reality therapy for managing pain and anxiety in children, leading to the establishment of Paperplane Therapeutics to bring these innovative solutions to market.
