BluDove®
Comfort, When It’s Needed Most.
Scroll to Begin the Journey
BluDove was created with a simple but powerful belief:
When people are facing some of their most difficult physical and emotional moments, technology should bring comfort, calm, and humanity.
This is the story of how BluDove began, how it evolved, and how it’s changing the way care is experienced.
The Original Idea
A Different Starting Point
Medical procedures often leave patients feeling anxious, fearful, and out of control. BluDove was not built to showcase technology, but to solve this human problem. By reimagining how VR could be used in care settings, BluDove creates presence, calm, and escape when patients need it most.
Early Iteration Phase
Shaped by Real Experience
BluDove was shaped through iterative development, continuous testing, and direct feedback from clinicians, patients, caregivers, and partners. Early prototypes evolved through real-world use, with careful attention to comfort, hygiene, usability, clinical workflows, and the emotional pacing of content.
Expert Voices Added
Insight That Guided the Path
An experienced advisory board helped guide BluDove’s evolution, bringing together clinical, technology, and operational perspectives. Their insight ensured the platform aligned with real healthcare environments while remaining grounded in patient-centered innovation
Live Demonstrations
Tested Beyond the Lab
Through tradeshows, live demonstrations, and hands-on trials, BluDove was tested face-to-face with providers and patients. Seeing the product in action confirmed what data alone could not: the emotional impact was immediate, meaningful, and measurable.
First Clinical Wins
Proof That Changed Everything
BluDove’s first major success came in dental settings, particularly pediatric care. Children who once feared dental visits were able to relax, engage, and overcome anxiety. These early outcomes validated BluDove’s mission and demonstrated its real-world value.

Platform Expansion
More Than a Single Solution
As the product matured, BluDove evolved beyond a single use case into a flexible platform. Refinements expanded clinical applicability, enabled deeper personalization, and supported scalable deployment without losing sight of the company’s core purpose.
New Care Settings
Entering More Complex Care
BluDove is actively moving into advanced clinical environments, including infusion-based care settings. These environments involve prolonged, emotionally demanding treatments where comfort, distraction, and a sense of peace can have a meaningful impact on the patient experience.
Untapped Scale
A Market Ready for Change
Across the country, thousands of infusion centers serve millions of patients each year. BluDove has only begun to reach this market. The scale of the opportunity reflects the scale of the need, with potential impact extending far beyond current deployments.
Why It Matters
Built on Compassion
BluDove exists to bring peace to people when they need it most. Whether someone is anxious, in pain, overwhelmed, or afraid, BluDove creates a moment of calm in the middle of uncertainty. This is not about technology. It is about humanity.
What Comes Next
Personalization at the Core
Looking forward, AI will enable BluDove to deliver even more personalized experiences. By recognizing the patient using the headset, BluDove can tailor relaxation environments and educational content to individual needs, preferences, and stages of care.
Broader Access
Designed to Reach Further
BluDove is in discussions with leading headset manufacturers to expand compatibility across devices. This platform-agnostic approach will introduce BluDove to more providers, more environments, and more patients worldwide.
Giving Back
Extending Impact Beyond Product
Plans are underway to establish the BluDove Foundation, dedicated to expanding access and supporting those most in need. By raising additional funding, BluDove aims to create even more impactful experiences and extend comfort to underserved communities.
