✨Beyond the Headset ✨ How do you imagine movement therapy in the digital age? Do you think of bulky headsets, wires, and sensors that limit your mobility and comfort? If so, you might be surprised to learn that there is a better way to experience #augmentedreality for your health and wellness. At Augment Therapy, we believe that movement is reimagined when it is powered by your body, not by external devices. That's why we created ARWell and ARWell PRO, two innovative applications that use our proprietary MOCAST™ technology to integrate motion capture with gamified software. With ARWell and ARWell PRO, you can enter an immersive therapeutic space without the need for any wearables. ARWell PRO is intended for healthcare providers to engage and monitor their patients’ exercise performance in the hospital, clinic and at home. ARWell provides gamified exercises and wellness activities with no prescription required. Both applications uniquely combine computer vision and augmented reality-based interactive content in a 3D format designed to maximize movement. You can interact with virtual objects, characters, and environments using your natural gestures and movements. With Augment Therapy, you can enjoy the benefits of AR without the hassle of expensive hardware. Whether you want to improve your mobility, strength, balance, or coordination, or simply have fun and stay active, ARWell and ARWell PRO can help you achieve your wellness goals. Are you ready to go beyond the headset and experience movement reimagined?

Augment Therapy is thrilled to share this article regarding our study with Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). Can Augmented Reality Improve Exercise for Children With Cerebral Palsy? by Katie Sweeney. A new study at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is testing whether exergaming can better engage young patients in physical activity. Exercise plays a key role in helping children with cerebral palsy to improve or maintain their mobility, including the ability to walk. But research has shown that many of these kids don’t get the physical activity they need. Now, a new pilot study at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is testing whether an augmented reality exergaming program can help these children better adhere to home therapy. Principal Investigator Melissa Bent, MD, a pediatric orthopedist in the Jackie and Gene Autry Orthopedic Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, presented results from the trial’s first phase at the 2024 Association for Clinical and Translational Science meeting, held April 3-5 in Las Vegas. “Issues with access and usability often prevent children with cerebral palsy from participating in exercise,” Dr. Bent says. “The hope is that augmented reality will help improve that access and be more engaging for kids.” The study is a partnership with Augment Therapy, which develops gamified exercise programs for pediatric rehabilitation. In 2021, the startup was one of 13 companies selected for the inaugural KidsX Pediatric Digital Health Accelerator, which is anchored by a consortium of children’s hospitals, including CHLA. In early findings, the team found that the games were well-accepted, with 83% of participants reporting that the avatar matched their child’s movements and the game was easy for their child to play.
