VR pain management
In a recent study funded and coauthored by the company, the EaseVRx program outperformed a non-interactive headset app across several self-reported pain and pain-interference measures.
AppliedVR's EaseVRx landed an FDA Breakthrough Device designation for its tool that combines VR and cognitive behavioral therapy.
The funding will also support further development of the technology and new staff hires.
Positive data from the pragmatic study is the clearest evidence yet that in-hospital therapeutic VR could be effective in a live deployment, according to researchers.
