DeepTherapy is an online communication platform for practitioners to enter into conversation with inaccessible people through self-controlled video animations via Zoom. The online therapy is led by the practitioners for offering help to people with trauma, anxiety and grief problems. A new world of role-playing-based therapy that is also suitable for mediation and training. Easy from home. Flexible and convenient. No software downloads or special hardware required.
Why DeepTherapy?
Sometimes it is difficult to involve extra people in a consultation or treatment of a client because these people do not want, cannot or no longer exist. DeepTherapy is a platform for practitioners (e.g. psychologists and therapists) who want to expand their therapies with conversation sessions via Zoom with lifelike animations of these (missing) persons. To create a video person animation, only one photo is needed of the person with whom the client wants a conversation. The video person animation is controlled by the practitioner by means of his /her own voice during a Zoom session.
The goal of DeepTherapy
The goal is to come to a conversation between practitioner, client and the person animations. It is a new way of communication that can be used as an intervention for various forms of treatment of psychological problems, such as trauma and bereavement processing. The person animation is, as it were, an (extra) participant in the Zoom session. Multiple participants in the Zoom session are possible. An online platform where practitioners and patients can easily do Zoom sessions from their home.
How does DeepTherapy work?
The practitioner plays the role of the person the patient wants to speak to. For this, only 1 photo of this extra person is needed. Our technology makes it possible to make a video of 1 photo of that person’s face. The video animation is created and prepared before the Zoom session starts. During the Zoom session, the video animation is controlled by the practitioner based on the voice of the practitioner. The voice causes the person animation to make mouth movements that mimic the voice. The practitioner directs the person animation directly and live, making an interactive conversation possible. The live control of the person animation by the practitioner takes place during a Zoom session in which the person animation is present as a participant.
