What specific problem are you solving?
Millions of stroke survivors worldwide suffer from the inadequacies of traditional rehabilitation methods. Conventional post-stroke therapy is often monotonous and repetitive, lacking the personalized engagement needed to sustain patient motivation and adapt to individual recovery stages. In resource-constrained settings like Indonesia, limited access to specialized centers further exacerbates this problem, leaving many patients with suboptimal recovery outcomes due to irregular and impersonal therapy sessions.
Globally, strokes affect over 15 million people annually, with nearly 5 million experiencing long-term disabilities. Factors such as high therapy costs, uneven distribution of skilled practitioners, and logistical challenges—like long travel distances—create significant barriers to continuous, high-quality rehabilitation. The absence of engaging and adaptive recovery methods not only prolongs disability but also strains healthcare systems and diminishes the quality of life for survivors and their families.
What is your solution?
Vinera is an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform engineered for post-stroke rehabilitation. It transforms traditional therapy exercises into engaging, game-like experiences by using a VR headset integrated with motion-tracking sensors. The system simulates everyday tasks in a digital environment, enabling patients to practice targeted motor exercises from the comfort of their homes. Vinera’s adaptive design continuously monitors patient performance using real-time analytics and machine learning algorithms, providing personalized feedback and dynamically adjusting task difficulty. Therapists remotely review detailed progress reports, allowing for tailored intervention and optimized recovery.
