Holiday From Hospital
Chimera Legacy Foundation have identified a significant unmet need and have developed a patient centric solution to address stress associated with hospitalisation.
Listening to patients at RBWH
In hosting group VR therapy sessions at RBWH feedback was collected for more understanding of the direct patient need.
Chimera learned that providing virtual travel destinations eased the stress patients were experiencing due to hospitalisation, revealing a clear desire to escape hospital for a calming environment in order to help cope with their treatment.

Patients in long-term hospital care
Chimera Legacy Foundation focuses on patients in long-term hospital care — people who commonly experience:
- Isolation
- Loneliness
- Treatment-related anxiety
- The stress of hospitalisation
- Low morale
Program Validation and Accreditation
Chimera Legacy Foundation has conducted a VR Feasibility Study into the safe and effective use of our Virtual Reality program for patients in hospitals in the hope of increasing acceptance within the healthcare industry and in particular within the hospital system.
Chimera understands the importance of providing patients with the best possible experience, one that is recognised by clinicians as using best practice methodologies and has been properly reviewed and validated as a safe and effective mental wellbeing program.
