About
Vision + Founders
We are revolutionizing health literacy by creating a universal language between patients and doctors through virtual reality.
Over the course of modern medicine, healthcare practitioners have looked for innovative ways to treat their patients through new technologies. This evolution in treatment has not been met by similar technological advancements in patient education.
In most practices and hospitals, healthcare providers rely upon verbal and written explanations to patients. This often leads to patients not understanding what their doctors are telling them and doctors not having sufficient time to explain.
We are using immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and metaverse-based social platforms to better share health information. Patients will be able to learn through these first-person educational experiences that we will make available across multiple platforms.
The rapid expansion of affordable and mass-produced VR and metaverse-based capabilities that has exploded over the past few years has made our vision a reality.
