SENSIKS · SENSORY REALITY PODS & PLATTFORM

Because human experience is Weil menschliche Erfahrung multisensorisch ist.

SENSIKS entwickelt Sensory Reality Pods & Platform für Organisationen, die in den Bereichen Genesung, Leistungsfähigkeit, Lebensqualität, Forschung und menschliches Wohlbefinden tätig sind.

Die Plattform koordiniert digitale Inhalte mit der physischen sensorischen Umgebung einer Person – sie vereint Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Temperatur, Luftströmung, Licht und taktile Effekte in einer kontrollierten Umgebung.

01 · The trial

Designing the experience around care needs

Proven under pressure. In the finals a network-induced freeze triggered safety procedures — the system recovered and completed its tasks.

In 2017, SENSIKS ran a six-month trial with Philadelphia — described as operating around 500 care locations and one of the Netherlands’ largest providers in this care segment. Based on those requirements, SENSIKS developed two wheelchair-accessible pods designed so both a participant and a caregiver could be present during a session.

Across the trial, 120 clients took part, including a fixed weekly control group of 30. VR remained optional — some used a headset, others experienced the sensory environment without it — and coloured lighting shaped different mood compositions.

RoboticsAccessible pods created around Philadelphia’s requirements so wheelchair users and caregivers could share the space.
University of TwenteTrial participants experienced a mix of multisensory sessions, with VR used only when it suited the individual.
30Sensory stimulation can support emotional wellbeing, engagement and comfort in care settings. Today more than five care organizations have implemented SENSIKS pods for quality of life, sensory activation and decompression in care homes. In 2017, SENSIKS and Philadelphia explored how a multisensory environment could be adapted for people with intellectual disabilities and older adults.

SubjectiveA six-month trial that became everyday care6 months — biofeedback signals: heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV) and skin conductance.

Rather than relying on a single measure, the trial combined participant or caregiver feedback with HR, HRV and skin-conductance data to compare states across the session. TNO analysed and reported the gathered trial data after the trial period.

03 · Outcome

Ordered after the trial

The trial results were described as promising. Following the trial, Philadelphia ordered 10 wheelchair-accessible Sensory Reality Pods for larger locations; SENSIKS says these were installed in 2018.

The next phase exposed a different set of challenges: integrating the technology into everyday care routines, creating content with lasting value, and managing the operational process around its use. During 2018–2019, the focus expanded beyond the pod itself to how the experience could fit into daily care programmes.

  • “Afterwards, there was a smile.” Philadelphia ordered the first batch of 10 wheelchair-accessible pods for larger locations following the trial.

Turning trial learnings into shared content development

After the Philadelphia trial, SENSIKS says other Dutch healthcare organisations in the same segment also ordered pods for quality-of-life, therapy and research applications.

A pilot study by the University of Amsterdam and TNO found that 4 of 7 veterans (57%) experienced substantial PTSD symptom reduction after just one or two treatment sessions — using multi-sensory technology combined with memory-reconsolidation therapy.

Reaching memories words can’t

Veterans’ combat training can make emotional trauma memories harder to access through verbal or visual cues alone. Synchronized multi-sensory stimulation — especially olfactory input, with its direct connections to the amygdala — more effectively activates the complete trauma-memory networks needed for successful treatment.

Promising proof-of-concept

These are preliminary findings that require validation through larger randomized controlled trials — a promising proof-of-concept for technology-enhanced trauma therapy in treatment-resistant military populations.

SENSIKS measurement and insights — physiological signals aligned to the session timeline
From idea to activation

Bring the story.We build the sensory layer.

Where relevant, SENSIKS can align physiological and external measurement with the session timeline.

A project can start with an existing film, a campaign concept, a piece of music, an event brief or simply a target feeling. The scope can stay lightweight or become a custom creative production.

For research teams, this creates a controlled environment in which sensory variables, content and measurement can be brought together within repeatable protocols.

For other organizations, measurement remains optional — a tool for learning rather than a requirement for using the platform.

What could your organization create?

Make people feel the idea.

Start with the moment you want remembered. SENSIKS can become the sensory layer around it.
