Personalised patient therapies could aid healing, and recovery times. The PRIME-VR2 research project is reimagining physical therapy by creating a platform for treatment through a virtual-reality gaming space. Combined with an algorithmically-designed, bespoke gaming controller that is tailored around the therapeutic and comfort requirements of each individual user, PRIME-VR2 presents a tantalizing vision for the future of therapy.
