Soihtu DTx is developing an innovative digital therapy in the form of a video game to address the challenges of treating major depressive episodes. Depression is a complex condition, with traditional treatments effective in only about 30% of patients, while psychotherapy, although helpful for about 50%, is often limited by accessibility and resources.

 

Soihtu DTx’s flagship product, Meliora, provides a personalized, immersive gaming experience designed to improve depressive symptoms, particularly for patients resistant to conventional therapies. Backed by strong scientific research, early clinical trials show significant reductions in depressive symptoms and improvements in quality of life, with results comparable to psychotherapy but with faster responses.

 

Led by a team of experts in neuroscience and game development, Soihtu DTx is positioning itself as a leader in digital mental health therapies. With potential applications in anxiety, ADHD, and eating disorders, Soihtu DTx aims to revolutionize mental health treatment through engaging, science-backed digital solutions.
