    XRehab

XRehab is dedicated to advancing the use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies in the field of rehabilitation. Our primary goal is to seamlessly integrate XR into rehabilitation practices, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of therapeutic interventions.

To achieve this, XRehab organizes comprehensive XR workshops specifically designed for healthcare workers and XR companies. These workshops serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary skills to utilize XR technologies effectively. Simultaneously, they provide XR companies with valuable insights into the unique needs and challenges of the rehabilitation sector, fostering a collaborative environment where innovative solutions can be developed.

In addition to workshops, XRehab is actively involved in developing a detailed blueprint on how to design and implement XR solutions for rehabilitation purposes. This blueprint offers a step-by-step guide, outlining best practices, design principles, and practical applications of XR in various rehabilitation scenarios. It aims to be an invaluable resource for both developers and healthcare providers, ensuring that XR tools are created and used in a way that maximizes their therapeutic potential.
