Problem
Elderly individuals in care facilities often experience a decline in cognitive and physical abilities, leading to reduced independence and quality of life. Traditional therapeutic interventions may lack engagement, limiting their effectiveness in promoting sustained well-being.
Solution

Their flagship product, memore, uses a 3D camera to track player movements and translate them into interactive gameplay across six different modules. These modules, developed with insights from occupational therapy, offer virtual activities such as bowling, motorcycle riding, and table tennis. The system promotes coordination, balance, attention, memory, and social interaction. memore is certified as a Class I medical device in Germany and is fully reimbursed by health insurance providers, making it accessible to a wide range of users in need of engaging and effective therapeutic support.
