Ethics & Compliance

Our commitment to ethical research practices and regulatory compliance.

Research involving immersive virtual reality and neurocognitive assessment is increasingly subject to formal ethical oversight, including preregistration, informed consent, and independent review. Many VR-based ADHD studies are registered in public trial databases, ensuring transparency in study design, outcome measures, and participant safeguards[1]. Ethical analyses of VR use in mental health research further emphasise participant safety, data minimisation, and avoidance of overstated clinical claims[2].

Ethical guidance for immersive technologies highlights the importance of informed consent, voluntary participation, withdrawal rights, and proportional risk assessment when using virtual reality in mental health and neurocognitive research. These principles underpin contemporary governance frameworks for VR-based ADHD studies [1][2].
