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.
