Apple Eyes Using Upcoming AR Headset to Diagnose and Treat Mental Health Issues

Apple is considering using its upcoming $3,500 Vision Pro AR headset to diagnose and treat mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

The headset has cameras and sensors that can measure facial expressions, emotions, and signs of mental illness.

Apple could treat mental health conditions by displaying soothing images and sounds to users via the headset's screens.

Apple previously introduced mental health tracking features to its Health app and devices like the Apple Watch.

Apple slashed its 2024 Vision Pro production forecast from 1 million units to under 400,000 due to manufacturing difficulties.
