As research has shown non-psychotic episodes in patients to be indicative of shizophrenia, under Harvard Innovation Labs, we collaborating with leading scientists within the schizophrenia spectrum disorder phenotypes and diagnostics research field to start initial development of “See Like Me”, a Virtual Reality diagnostics tool to mimic patient’s anomalous experience so that it can be identified and treated correctly early on.
