This is a complete mobile therapy solution that provides over 20 different immersive applications and delivers them directly to the patient, anywhere in a care facility. The cart can be used in the procedure recovery room, patient room, therapy room or in common areas. The patient may be in a bed, a chair or standing position, giving the patient the opportunity to engage in music therapy, become active in virtual play or immerse themselves in a soothing sensory environment. The cart creates a whole new element of enjoyment and participation to any therapy program.
The Cart
Delivered on a rechargeable medical cart, the therapy system is durable and easy to move from patient to patient. The use of GestureTek’s gesture-control system ensures that all patient movements are low impact and that patient cross-contamination is virtually eliminated.
The Experience
Using GestureTek’s patented gesture control technology, the patient does not have to wear or hold a remote device or be attached to a computer to experience the latest immersive therapies. Whether relaxing in a virtual sensory environment, engaging in immersive play or exploring the interactive music therapy world, the patient receives low-impact activation, motivation and stimulation. Immersive technology has been the subject of extensive research, and GestureTek has been at the forefront of this research, working with a number of universities around the world on the development of gesture-based applications. Medical research confirms that virtual therapy is beneficial for persons with cognitive and physical disabilities, including those with cerebral palsy, autism, Alzheimer’s, dementia, as well as those recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury and other conditions.
