NeuroXR develops Cyberful, a VR therapy application designed for upper limb rehabilitation and neuropathic pain management. This Digital Therapeutics (DTx) solution utilizes immersive virtual reality experiences and therapeutic games to improve patient mobility and range of motion. The platform aims to accelerate recovery times and offer a non-invasive alternative to traditional physical therapy methods.

Problem
Upper limb rehabilitation often relies on conventional physical therapy, medication, or surgery, which can be time‑consuming, have side effects, and provide limited patient engagement. Neuropathic pain associated with arm injuries further hampers recovery and reduces quality of life. Access to frequent, intensive therapy sessions is frequently constrained by clinic capacity and patient mobility.
Solution
NeuroXR delivers Cyberful, a virtual‑reality (VR) therapy platform that applies neuroscientific principles to upper‑limb rehabilitation and pain modulation. The application presents a curated set of therapeutic games and immersive scenarios that encourage active movement while delivering graded sensory input to attenuate neuropathic pain. Real‑time motion tracking captures joint angles and range‑of‑motion metrics, which are processed by on‑device algorithms to adjust difficulty and provide immediate feedback. Collected data are encrypted and synced to a cloud analytics service that generates progress reports for clinicians, enabling data‑driven adjustments to therapy protocols. By offering a non‑invasive, home‑compatible solution, Cyberful aims to shorten recovery timelines and reduce reliance on pharmacological interventions.
Target Audience
The primary users are patients undergoing upper‑limb rehabilitation for tendon injuries, post‑surgical recovery, or neuropathic pain, as well as physiotherapists and rehabilitation clinics seeking a scalable, data‑rich therapy adjunct.
Features
- VR headset integration with six‑degree‑of‑freedom motion tracking for precise upper‑limb kinematics
- Library of evidence‑based therapeutic games that target specific muscle groups and proprioceptive pathways
- Adaptive difficulty engine that modifies task parameters based on real‑time performance metrics
- Cloud‑hosted analytics dashboard delivering longitudinal range‑of‑motion, speed, and pain‑score visualizations
- Secure, HIPAA‑compliant data transmission and storage with role‑based access controls
- Built‑in neurofeedback loops that synchronize visual stimuli with patient‑reported pain levels to facilitate central pain modulation
- Compatibility with major VR platforms (e.g., Oculus Quest, HTC Vive) for flexible deployment in clinics or at home
