WATCH: Kicking Off the Pitch Series with AR and Brain Health
Over the summer, Solve challenged entrepreneurs and innovators around the world to show how every person can improve their brain health and mental resilience.
Out of almost 130 teams who applied from around the world, Augmented Reality Neurorehabilitation Therapy was one of the amazing tech-based solutions that Solve received:
How are they answering the Challenge question? AUGMENTx makes neuro-rehabilitation more accessible and effective for patients living with stroke, phantom limb pain, and other forms of chronic limb pain with mirror box therapy using augmented reality, or “AR.”
That’s right. They’re using AR to help with rehab for neurological diseases and long-term disability.
The team’s vision is to make the therapy available to all stroke and limb amputation patients around the world at an affordable cost.
