Lumeen buys Cayceo and affirms its ambition to be a European leader

Lumeen buys Cayceo, the virtual reality solution specialized in the management of anxiety and pain, and affirms its ambition to be a European leader in new immersive therapies.

With more than 400 client medico-social and health structures, Lumeen is positioned as the French leader in new immersive virtual reality therapies. The acquisition of Cayceo will allow us to complete our offer, improve our commercial positioning and accelerate our development.

With Cayceo, Lumeen strengthens its content catalog and its commercial positioning.

Cayceo was created in 2018 in Montpellier. Like Lumeen, the Montpellier-based startup offers a turnkey virtual reality solution, certified class I medical device and indicated for the management of anxiety and pain. Its content catalog and its commercial positioning are very complementary to those of Lumeen.

Cayceo is distinguished by a high quality stylized graphic universe that can be found in its 6 immersive environments. Their software is quite remarkable when you know the technical limitations of standalone VR headsets. From an artistic point of view, it is the most successful 3D universe that has been designed to alleviate anxiety and pain. We're going to combine these experiences with our collection of over 100 ultra-realistic 360 videos.

The combination of these two catalogs is a promise to offer the most complete solution on the market to meet everyone's tastes and different medical indications. This will also allow us to better position ourselves in the health sector, especially in pediatric services where dreamlike 3D content is very successful and where Cayceo already has great references.

In addition, Cayceo has surrounded himself with a scientific board composed of recognized specialists in medical hypnosis. By working closely with this medical board, Cayceo was inspired by clinical cases and practical experience to develop hypnotic scripts customized for each of their environments and for different medical indications. This artistic and scientific blend ensures Cayceo experiences a strong identity and significant effectiveness.

“Thanks to the combination with Cayceo, Lumeen is becoming the most complete solution on the market, across all sectors.” Nicolas Villeneuve, Founder of Cayceo.

Cayceo has also developed a large customer base in the hospital sector. For example, we can cite the CHUs of Toulouse, Lille, Nantes, Nantes, Nantes, Nantes, Nantes, Nantes, Nîmes, Nîmes, Rennes and Bordeaux, the Necker Hospital of Paris Hospitals and the Regional Cancer Institute in Montpellier. Cumulatively, the references of Lumeen and Cayceo cover 18 of the 32 French CHUs.

Finally, the acquisition of Cayceo is of scientific interest. In addition to his immersive contemplative experiences, Cayceo has developed interactive games and several international clinical studies have shown that interactivity can accentuate the diversion of attention and amplify the alleviation of anxiety and pain.

This decision reaffirms our strategy to continuously evolve our product to always better meet the needs of the market. Cayceo environments will be made available to Lumeen customers at no additional cost. Lumeen will work closely with the Cayceo team to integrate their program and ensure a smooth transition for customers who have trusted them.
