About Us
What We Do
18Loop uses Virtual Reality technology to help kids with cancer recover from their treatments. We have launched an Advocacy and Awareness program that focuses on VR in pediatric oncology treatment. 18Loop is rolling out a Pilot program that will deploy Virtual Stress Management to help kids with cancer tolerate treatment, recover and thrive. We are currently leveraging best-of-breed environments from Tripp run on Oculus headsets. We are a complement to treatment, but not a medical solution.

Why We Do It
16,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. Over 300,000 are diagnosed worldwide. A typical recovery takes 1,000 days. Treatment can be taxing and painful. Recovery rates continue to improve but diagnosis numbers are increasing. One in five kids will not survive cancer, and they all can use our help.
