So in 2016, Orr took the leap and launched XRHealth, hoping to offering physiotherapy to patients through “extended reality”, which includes augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality.

It works like this: People who need certain kinds of physiotherapy or recovery therapy: for example, people with chronic pain, autism spectrum disorder, or Parkinson’s disease — you can meet virtually with the XRHealth team of doctors for a one-hour evaluation session. After determining a diagnosis and treatment plan, XRHealth sends the patient a virtual reality headset (made by HTC Vive) programmed with various apps, developed by XRHealth.
