The Bethnal Green Ventures Tech For Good accelerator programme came to an end with a bang last week! Demo Day happened on 23 November and it was an amazing experience to pitch for about 300 people and share our journey with the attendees.

Immersive Rehab’s Virtual Reality Physical Rehab Platform was also being showcased for attendees to try and play around with. A fellow tech for good entrepreneur in action below:

Thanks again to the amazing team of therapists and patients at the Neurokinex neuro-rehabilitation centre for a very insightful day!

More trials coming up in the next weeks. We look forward to learning more and  understanding patients’ and therapists’ needs better every day.

Stay tuned for more updates!

We can proudly announce today that we have finalised the first prototype of the Virtual Reality Physical Rehabilitation platform. All morning was dedicated to the testing of the functionalities of the VR Physical Rehab platform with our new VR hardware kit and the different exercises passed the tests with flying colours!  The VR Physical Rehab platform is now ready for adoption by patients.

Immersive Rehab’s new products improve the effectiveness of Neuro/Physical Rehabilitation. Please get in touch to trial our products!

We have two functional VR prototypes ready for adoption:

– “Time for Jazz”

– “Fun Fair Towers”

We would love to hear your feedback.

More neuro/physical rehab exercises to come!

Stay tuned!

Seven weeks after starting Immersive Rehab that focuses on using Virtual Reality to improve Physical Rehabilitation, I was invited to join the panel of female entrepreneurs at the #HowSheDidIt Event : Designing The Next Generation Of Wearables, organised by Women Of Wearables and Blooming Founders at the Digital Catapult Centre London.

My journey so far as Founder/CEO of Immersive Rehab has been incredibly exciting. After joining the new startup cohort on the Tech For Good Bethnal Green Ventures accelerator programme in September 2016, it has been a steep learning curve for me in terms of dealing with the business, legal and IP aspects of setting up a business from scratch. As a technical founder being an engineer and former scientist, I was very interested in the experiences and the advice of the two other panel members Marija Butkovic from Kisha Smart Umbrella and Kirstin Hancock from Blue Maestro, who are both non-technical founders of successful wearables companies.

As a recap of the event, I was invited by the Women Of Wearables team to write a blog post about the event from a panelist’s perspective:

Today, I visited the neurokinex activity based rehabilitation centre. I met with the Founder of neurokinex Harvey Sihota, the British athlete David Smith and their amazing team at neurokinex. We discussed existing issues in neuro/physical rehabilitation, exploring new emerging technologies to stimulate the nervous system, and the use of Virtual Reality and its possibilities to push neuro/physical rehab to the next level. 

I am very excited to start collaborating with the team at neurokinex, Harvey Sihota and David Smith to make Immersive Rehab’s Virtual Reality neuro/physical rehabilitation platform more effective every day.

Thanks again for a very insightful meeting!
