What C2Care does

C2Care is a French private company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Sanary-sur-Mer (Toulon area) that develops virtual reality exposure therapy software for mental health treatment. Its core platform combines a library of over 100 immersive VR environments — covering specific phobias, social anxiety, addictive behaviors, eating disorders, depression, and cognitive stimulation — with an AI-powered conversational coach named Camille and AI-animated virtual characters that simulate realistic social interactions. The application runs on Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S headsets, with management accessible via a web platform (app.c2.care), tablet, computer, or smartphone. The platform is built in collaboration with approximately 30 French University Hospitals (CHU) for clinical validation, with AI capabilities delivered through OpenAI as a subprocessor and infrastructure hosted on AWS in Frankfurt.

C2Care generates revenue through a monthly subscription model with no long-term commitment, accessible to both individual consumers seeking self-directed therapy and healthcare professionals (psychologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, specialized nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, hypnotherapists) equipping their practices. Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve PLG motion through app.c2.care for consumers and a direct enterprise/clinical sales motion for hospitals, clinics, and liberal practitioners. The company also targets EHPAD elderly care facilities as a secondary segment for cognitive stimulation and anxiety management. The platform is localized in five languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Chinese), and the company claims an 80% effectiveness rate with benefits maintained more than one year post-treatment, based on clinical usage.

The business is structured as a French SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée), is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors beyond a 2020 funding round of approximately $1.1M led by Business Angels, Créazur, and Olbia Invest, and operates with 11-50 employees. Co-founders Romain Streichemberger (President) and Pierre Gadea (CEO and Director General) continue to lead the company. Key technology dependencies are OpenAI for AI text generation and AWS for EU-compliant cloud hosting, with OVH providing web hosting. Revenue, headcount growth, and current valuation are not publicly disclosed, though the company's share capital is reported at €744,449.28.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• XRHealth: XRHealth operates a VR telehealth platform for physical therapy, cognitive therapy, and mental-health treatment delivered by clinicians via remote-controlled headsets. It is a direct competitor in VR-based mental-health delivery with similar clinician + patient dualsided model.
• AppliedVR: AppliedVR develops FDA-authorized VR therapeutic applications, most notably for chronic pain, with extension into mental-health adjacencies. It is a relevant peer given C2Care's path toward regulated digital therapeutics and dependence on consumer-grade VR hardware.
• Psious: Psious offers a VR platform for mental-health exposure therapy used by therapists worldwide. It directly competes with C2Care on VR exposure therapy for phobias, anxiety, and addictions in the practitioner channel.
• HypnoVR: HypnoVR is a French company using VR hypnosis for pain, anxiety, and stress management in clinical settings. It is a direct regional competitor to C2Care in French hospitals with overlapping clinical VR-therapy positioning.
• BehaVR: BehaVR (which absorbed Oxford VR) develops prescription-grade VR therapeutics for mental health conditions including anxiety, chronic pain, and substance use. It competes directly with C2Care in immersive exposure therapy for behavioral health, combining VR with clinical protocols.

Emerging players

• Limbic: Limbic produces AI-driven CBT tools and VR therapy content for mental-health professionals. It overlaps with C2Care on AI-personalized mental-health support and clinician workflow, though without C2Care's VR-heavy delivery model.
• Woebot Health: Woebot Health builds AI conversational agents for mental-health coaching, overlapping with C2Care's Camille AI. Both target scalable, on-demand behavioral health through AI, though C2Care's delivery is immersive VR.
• Kognito: Kognito builds immersive simulations (including VR) for health behavior-change and clinician communication training. It overlaps with C2Care's content-rich simulation approach while focusing on training rather than patient therapy.

Broad incumbents

• Big Health (Sleepio): Big Health commercializes Sleepio and Daylight, digital therapeutics for insomnia and anxiety, sold into health plans and employers. It is a broader-incumbent peer in digital mental-health therapeutics competing for the same employer/payer wallet.
• Headspace Health: Headspace Health combines the Headspace meditation platform with Ginger's on-demand coaching/therapy. It is a broad incumbent in consumer and enterprise digital mental health that competes for the same D2C subscription dollar as C2Care.
