Interactive Media Institute

The Interactive Media Institute (IMI) is a non-profit organization specializing in the clinical application of virtual reality (VR), simulation, and advanced technologies in healthcare. Established in 1996, the institute focuses on the development and validation of digital therapeutics for behavioral health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and phobias. IMI works in close partnership with the Virtual Reality Medical Center to provide evidence-based VR exposure therapy and physiological monitoring solutions. Their research-driven approach has led to the implementation of immersive environments for pain management, autism spectrum disorder, and physical rehabilitation. Headquartered in San Diego, IMI continues to pioneer non-pharmacological interventions that leverage biofeedback and immersive simulation to improve patient outcomes.
