VR for COVID Rehab

VR4REHAB obtained a grant from Interreg North West Europe second call for capitalization.

Virtual and Augmented Reality can help optimizing rehabilitation protocols, accelerating patients’ recovery, promoting treatment adherence, and easing reintegration into daily life.

The project has created a network in which rehabilitation specialists engage with state-of-the-art XR technology to answer the rehabilitation needs of patients and their therapists. The current grant extends the previous work of VR4REHAB and will focus on innovative VR solutions for Covid-19 rehabilitation and ‘Long Covid’.

The new project starts with a Hackathon from 17 till 21 May 2021.
The ideas generated during the Hackathon will be evaluated during the pitches on the final day.

The winning ideas will move to the Dev Jam phase in which the ideas will be worked out into concepts. This phase will last from May till August 2021.

In the Challenge phase, the three best concepts will receive financial support to turn it into innovative XR solutions for Long Covid rehabilitation.
