Verity started at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business
Verity Technologies is a healthcare technology company harnessing the power of Extended Reality to provide treatment solutions for pain management and physical rehabilitation. Verity Technologies was formed by Booth MBA students with diverse medical and business experience, who share a passion for disrupting the healthcare space and helping patients suffering from pain through digital therapeutics.
Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. It affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Chronic pain has a significant impact on a person’s mood, sleep, activities, and overall quality of life. Current treatment options, including opioid medications, have been unable to properly alleviate pain in patients. Chronic pain is challenging to treat due to its multifaceted nature consisting of emotional, cognitive, and physical factors that contribute to an ongoing cycle of pain.
Recent discoveries in rehabilitation science emphasize that persistent pain is often due to abnormal neural processing. Newer treatments focus on decreasing pain amplification through movement-based therapies.
VerityXR offers a non-invasive, non-drug solution using Extended Reality (XR) to provide access to the brain’s neural pathways. Our multi-modal approach combines graded exposure, functional movement rehabilitation, and kinematic data to help clinicians manage musculoskeletal conditions and improve mobility. The focus is on gradually enhancing functional movements and promoting recovery.
Extended Reality (XR) provides an alternative, non-invasive and non-drug based access point to the brain’s neural pathways to change the perception and processing of pain. Verity uses a multi-modal approach including graded exposure, functional movement rehabilitation and kinematics to help clinicians manage pain and musculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of using a multi-modal approach is to gradually decrease pain amplification and incrementally improve functional movements to break the cycle of pain and dysfunction.
Verity’s EngaugeXR™ enables physical therapists to optimize treatment for musculoskeletal conditions and improve patient outcomes through movement.
Immersive game-like experience, which alters the perception of movement and pain in order to improve function in a targeted and controlled fashion. In addition to graded exposure and desensitization, the product uses positive reinforcement to help people unlearn fear-avoidance behavior.
The EngaugeXR™ platform transports patients into engaging environments, promoting movement and rehabilitation.
Accurate, real-time data on range of motion and stress parameters improves the effectiveness of rehabilitation while saving time.
Analytics and performance trends enable physical therapists to make data-driven improvements to individual and population-wide programs.
Gamification transforms traditional physical rehabilitation exercises into a fun filled experience, allows for graded exposure and motivates the patient to achieve more through positive reinforcement.
Enables the physical therapist to tailor the program to the specific needs of each patient.
Automated baseline measurements allow the physical therapist and patient to monitor progress by comparing data after each session.
Our team of MedTech and business leaders has joined forces to create cutting-edge physical rehabilitation technology.
