Virtual rehab, real life results
We believe in bringing healthcare research and modern-day technologies together to create the best experience possible for practitioners and patients.
Introducing Curest VR
Curest VR is a digital rehabilitation tool for neck and head related injuries, based on scientific research, e-health studies and the use of virtual reality. Curest connects practitioners with patients and collects valuable data from every exercise.
The basics
Curest VR is used in hospitals, private clinics and at the patient’s home. It requires that the user has a compatible VR-headset and a Curest licence.
Environments and exercises
Curest VR lets the patient perform rehabilitation exercises in an interactive and playful environment to work on movement, mobility and mindfulness.
Every exercise is developed together with physiotherapists specialized in whiplash, brain trauma, migraine, and dizziness.
Feedback in real time - Telemedicine
The patient follows different movement patterns visualized in the virtual reality. The result of every rehab exercise is highlighted in the VR and directly sent to the physiotherapist for evaluation.
In this way, the practitioner can follow the process from a distance and collect valuable statistical evidence.
Results
Rehabilitation work with VR comes with many positive aspects and results. The gamification of rehab has improved patient motivation and accelerated the recovery process, as you can push yourself to become better when you see the result after each exercise.
Studies on e-health have shown that patients find it more fun and easier to use VR-rehab than traditional analog rehabilitation.

FAQ
Today, Curest VR is used in hospitals, private clinics and at the patient’s home. It requires that the user has a compatible VR-headset and a Curest licence.
Our VR headsets are adjustable and there is room to wear glasses, with the exception for very large frames. If possible, eye lenses are recommended for the sake of comfort. Alternatively, if you have a minor visual impairment, it is recommended to try without glasses.
Some patients can experience motion sickness, dizziness, headache or similar symptoms during a session with a VR headset. About 10 % of people that try VR for the first time, experience some kind of discomfort. Most patients who experience discomfort often get more and more used to the environments and the symptoms decrease with repeated treatment sessions.
This is very individual. Some individuals can experience motion sickness or dizziness during a certain type of VR usage, but the experiences are made to be gentle to the greatest extent possible and to most individuals, it is a problem that decreases instantly.
Our applications are designed to not only guide, but measure your movements. This has never been possible with traditional recovery and gives your matched healthcare professional actionable data.
Also, it’s fun! The problem with traditional therapy is that it is neglected. With Curest VR, you’ll be stopping yourself from using it too often.
No problem. The Cutest VR kit comes ready to use. No wires or computers. And don’t forget, you also have your healthcare professional to guide you and the support of the Curest team.
Today, our customers range from Swedish hospitals to private clinics and rehabilitation centres. They are a big part of our success, as they continue to provide us with information, reviews and new areas to explore. Thank you!
