Enosis Therapeutics explores the use of virtual reality, with or without psychedelics, to enhance mental health outcomes. They aim to address the challenge of retaining insights gained during psychedelic experiences by leveraging VR's immersive environments to create a unique state that helps patients anchor their experiences and understand their newfound insights more clearly.

Summary
Enosis Therapeutics is a medtech startup that began with the question: how can we use VR – with or without psychedelics – to improve mental health outcomes? They feel that the biggest problem with powerful psychedelic experiences is that, once you’re back in reality, it’s oddly difficult to remember the insights and new ideas that were so clear during the experience, and even harder to make connections that lead to concrete change. They believe that the immersive nature of VR and the novelty of unique VR environments creates a sense of presence that can’t be recreated otherwise – a liminal, in-between state that’s just different enough to allow the patient to feel like they’re back in that non-ordinary state, and therefore more able to anchor their experience and begin to find connections and more clearly understand newfound insights.
