Verity Technologies is a healthcare technology company that is harnessing the power of Extended Reality to provide treatment solutions for pain management and physical rehabilitation. Verity Technologies was formed by Booth MBA students with diverse medical and business experience, who share a passion for disrupting the healthcare space and helping patients suffering from pain. 

Chronic Pain

Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. It affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Chronic pain has a significant impact on a person’s mood, sleep, activities, and overall quality of life. Current treatment options, including opioid medications, have been unable to properly alleviate pain in patients. Chronic pain is challenging to treat due to its multifaceted nature consisting of emotional, cognitive, and physical factors that contribute to an ongoing cycle of pain.

Healing Starts with Movement

Recent discoveries in the field of pain research suggest that persistent pain is a central nervous system (i.e. brain) disorder of abnormal pain processing and amplification. This abnormal processing persists long after the injury that caused the first episode of pain. Therefore, newer pain treatments such as invasive spinal cord stimulation and nerve medications are focused on decreasing pain amplification.

Extended Reality (XR) provides an alternative, non-invasive and non-drug based access point to the brain’s neural pathways to change the perception and processing of pain. Verity uses a multi-modal approach including graded exposure, functional movement rehabilitation and kinematics to help clinicians manage pain and musculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of using a multi-modal approach is to gradually decrease pain amplification and incrementally improve functional movements to break the cycle of pain and dysfunction.

Product: EngaugeXR™

Verity’s EngaugeXR™ enables physical therapists to manage pain and musculoskeletal conditions through movement.

Proprietary Algorithms

Multi-modal approach using physiological signals and kinematics data to optimize therapy.
4

Data Analytics & Automation

Through objective data collection and clinician workflow automation.
Verity’s EngaugeXR™ Improves patient engagement and clinician productivity by making exercises engaging and fun, objectifying movement measurements, and providing scalability of treatments.

Engagement

Immersive game-like experience, which alters the perception of movement and pain in order to improve function in a targeted and controlled fashion. In addition to graded exposure and desensitization, the product uses positive reinforcement to help people unlearn fear-avoidance behavior.

Objectification

Novel sensors engineered into the VR environment measure range of motion, velocity, and autonomic measures of stress. This information enables real-time adjustments to game parameters. The sensors also provide quantified outcome measures for both monitoring patient improvement and compliance, as well as yielding population data for improving the rehabilitation game.

Scale

Algorithms and outcome measures for trending patient performance enable iterative game refinement, demonstrate compliance, and allow deployment of the system into a variety of healthcare and home environments.

Real-Time Data Measurement

Automated and real time measurement of range of motion, velocity and autonomic stress parameters improve the accuracy of the data, and save time and effort compared to the existing manual methods.

Patient Analytics, Insights & Performance Trends

Trends enable improvements to the program for individual as well as populations of patients.

5

True Gamification

Gamification transforms traditional physical rehabilitation exercises into a fun filled experience, allows for graded exposure and motivates the patient to achieve more through positive reinforcement.

3

Configurable Gaming Parameters

Enables the physical therapist to tailor the program to the specific needs of each patient.

Baseline Performance Measurement

Automated baseline measurements allow the physical therapist and patient to monitor progress by comparing data after each session.
