Verity started at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business
Verity Technologies is a healthcare technology company that is 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.
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 the field of pain research suggest that persistent pain is a central nervous system (i.e. brain) disorder of abnormal pain processing and amplification. This abnormal processing persists long after the injury that caused the first episode of pain. Therefore, newer pain treatments such as invasive spinal cord stimulation and nerve medications are focused on decreasing pain amplification.
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.
The EngaugeXR™ gaming environment transports the patient to an exotic world that engages the brain and distracts it from pain.
Automated and real time measurement of range of motion, velocity and autonomic stress parameters improve the accuracy of the data, and save time and effort compared to the existing manual methods.
Trends enable improvements to the program for individual as well as populations of patients.
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.
MedTech and business leaders join forces to create cutting edge physical rehabilitation devices.
