They're in different scenarios and virtual environments, but also working on functional tasks and exercises at the same time. I started building MVPs for them and saw it made such a big difference when patients had the headset on. During my Ph.D., I met my current co-founder and investor who owns a neurological recovery clinic. I landed an internship at Intuitive Surgical, where they create robots for surgery and VR training exercises for the Da Vinci robotic system. While I was working on my Ph.D., I was really interested in using my skills in the health care field. in VR for medical simulation and training, also utilizing Unity.

That's also when I came across Unity and started to learn how to use it to build my own apps and games. That's why I chose to do game design development for my master’s. While I was pursuing my bachelor's, I was really interested in making movies and animation shorts.

We sell to large health systems and work mostly with hospitals, but also private clinics, VAs, and a few senior care centers.Ĭan you tell us about your professional journey and the main motivators that led you to building Neuro Rehab VR?
The programs we develop help by gamifying therapy exercises so that patients are more engaged, more motivated, and can see their data analytics in real time. We help patients who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury with physical therapy, so that they can work on their functional goals, which is mostly to be able to get back to everyday activities like grocery shopping and being able to cook. Our staff is about 14 people now, and we develop virtual reality (VR) applications for physical and occupational therapy. Then, in 2018, we started to build a team. I started our company in 2017 at that time I was also a Ph.D. Unity has played a big part in my career and my life to date, and helped me create this company. That's where I learned how to develop in Unity, and to build virtual reality applications and games. I did my bachelor's in computer science and master's in game design and development.
My name is Veena and I am founder and CEO of Neuro Rehab VR. Please introduce yourself and share some background on your current role, your company and your mission?
