VR Vitalis® Care

A resource designed to meet the needs of clients in social services

VR Vitalis® Care application

A device designed by top experts to activate social service clients

Non-binding consultation License and Implementation

More effective activation
The immersive effect of our app leads to unblocking the client's fears and motivating them to exercise, whether cognitive, physical or relaxation. Motivating the client helps with improving their mood and thus helps the staff in their work. The app allows for a unique combination with molecular hydrogen inhalation.
Simple and safe operation
Intuitive app with simple controls. It is safe to use even for elderly or disabled clients. It is also easy to use for the therapist, who can adjust everything from a tablet or computer if the client cannot manage it themselves.
Efficient operation
Lack of funding and qualified staff. This is a common situation in social services. Regular activation of clients is crucial for their physical and mental well-being. Our personal experience with this issue made us develop our app. The aim is not to replace rehabilitation workers, just to make their work much easier.

What do others say about us?

We have been working with VR VITALIS® for a short time, but for our patients, the therapeutic exercise in virtual reality is a welcome and interesting change. We use therapeutic exercise programs with patients in the outpatient setting after upper extremity injuries, for pain syndromes in the shoulder joint and back pain. The use of virtual reality exercise has also been successful in patients with neurological conditions such as RSM and post stroke conditions. This exercise is also in great demand with pediatric patients, where we have even been able to target attention and overall better concentration in children. The people at VR VITALIS® are experts in their field and working with them is very rewarding for us.

PhDr. Jarmila Kristiníková, Ph.D. Fyzioterapie POHODA s.r.o.
We started using virtual glasses with seniors at the Iris Home in early July. Despite initial concerns and for their safety, we only do the exercises sitting down, or in a mechanical wheelchair, and the seniors' fear of the new technology has almost become an addiction. In this way, our seniors are exercising their upper arms and engaging their cognitive functions by finding solutions. By having others watch on a tablet how their companion is doing and cheering them on, social aspects and communication with each other are also developed.

Silvie Švecová Ergoterapeut
At the Pohoda Social Services Centre, virtual reality has become a very popular activity for many of our users, especially in that it rests on two pillars that are important to every senior. Virtual reality has managed to combine these two important elements such as cognitive function and physical activity into one. Another major benefit for us and for the user is that the version available today allows the user to set the appropriate conditions for customised activation. The experts at VR Vitalis® are constantly working to innovate and thus provide users with insight into a simulated real-world environment. We firmly believe that the cooperation with VR Vitalis® will continue to be a rewarding and long-lasting one.
