According to Novobeing, the partnership marks a pivotal moment in the company’s mission to revolutionize stress management and enhance well-being through the integration of immersive technology into mental health and well-being practices.
Novobeing’s stress management solution blends VR technology with scientifically validated methods, and offers personalized, immersive experiences that cater to individual needs.

Novobeing stated that its VR platform is designed to meet the rigorous demands of healthcare environments, and that its solutions are currently deployed in six hospitals and are the subject of three clinical trials. An early access application is available for individual users on the Meta Quest and an enterprise stress reduction kit is available for healthcare providers, according to the company.
The investment from Impact Assets, which has over $3 billion in assets under management, was guided by rigorous due diligence spearheaded by the Harvard Business School Investment for Impact program.
Novobeing stated that the strategic investment will accelerate its product development and innovation, enabling the company to expand its reach and impact. The collaboration also aligns with Impact Assets’ goal to support initiatives that contribute to a better world, according to Novobeing.
