Vireamed is an Aalto University Startup project preparing for spin-out from Aalto mid of 2022. We develop a medical-grade Virtual Reality (VR) exergame solution for motor function rehabilitation. Our leading use-case is stroke rehabilitation. We are currently preparing the research project as a spin-out from Aalto University. For this, we’re looking for additional partners and co-operation.
Currently, the rehabilitation of people with stroke or other neurological conditions is insufficient compared to the growing demand. Only 15% of stroke patients are now receiving rehabilitation, as 50% would benefit from it.
The development and emergence of new rehabilitation solutions will be crucial in the upcoming decade, as the medical cost of stroke is expected to grow up to 30% in the next 10 years.
Our goal is to leverage the latest VR and IoT technologies and innovate new user interfaces for unique user-friendly and scalable Virtual rehabilitation solutions. AI/ML and eTexiles used as a source of differentiation.
We aim to improve rehabilitation results improving patient quality of life and simultaneously reduce rehabilitation cost through independent training.
Vireamed rehabilitation solution provides care professionals independent, self-guiding, and recording Virtual Reality exercise environment. Patients can increase training intensity and dosage. To prevent fatigue and to enhance the benefit of each session, the patient or therapist can split the session in to shorter and more efficient parts.
With this, total training time during the brain recovery sensitivity period can be increased, leading to improved rehabilitation outcomes and reduced days in the rehabilitation center. Consequently, this will result in cost savings.
Our multi-professional team consists of in-house engineers, designers, developers, and business professionals. We work and collaborate closely with health care professionals to ensure that the Vireamed solution is user-friendly and human(-care)-centric.
