Problem
Patients recovering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions often require extensive physical and cognitive rehabilitation. Traditional rehabilitation programs can be difficult to adhere to, and may not be easily accessible for patients with mobility issues or those living far from specialized clinics.
Solution
Bended provides a virtual reality (VR) based neurorehabilitation platform designed to improve patient adherence and expand access to effective therapy. The system combines a VR headset with a library of engaging exergames that target specific physical and cognitive functions. The platform also includes a web-based portal for clinicians to manage patient data, customize rehabilitation schedules, and monitor patient progress remotely, facilitating both in-clinic and at-home telerehabilitation programs. The VR exergames incorporate mirror therapy techniques to stimulate recovery, particularly for patients with neurological conditions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and clinics that treat patients recovering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions, as well as patients themselves for at-home telerehabilitation.
