Even short periods of inactivity can decondition older people. ⁣But this does not have to result in loss of quality of life. ⁣⁣⁣⁣Our #VR solutions relieve #anxiety, overcome loneliness, and distract from loss and pain by relaxing the mind and providing unwitting #exercise.

Introducing ROVR Relieve.⁣ It offers immersive VR experiences, helps communication, and promotes upper body movement. As care staff may not know the personal histories of those they are caring for, we offer 360 videos that cover various experiences and enable owners to add more.

Meet ROVR Explore - a clever mix of safe physical exercise and social engagement. Through this unique #virtualreality solution, we aim to increase activity, improve circulation, and strengthen leg muscles. For some this will even assist reconditioning as a precursor to walking.

Introducing ROVR Adventure, an omni directional #virtualreality treadmill that brings extraordinary real and imaginary world settings within the reach of care home residents. Fun fact: ROVR Adventure is suitable for everyone between the ages of 4 years to 103 years.

Along with physical benefits, our VR solutions also provide care home residents with access to previously inaccessible experiences. Residents and caregivers can share and discuss their experiences, enhancing connections and memory retention.

Here are 6 features that make ROVR Relieve easily accessible and adaptable in numerous settings. #VirtualReality

Our immersive #VR solutions have a triple effect, benefiting physical #health, mental #wellness, and fostering of #social connectedness.

Despite it seeming like an unlikely combination, the benefits of #VR for #healthcare are many. Our VR solutions assist in maintaining #health & #wellbeing, and can recover, re-enable and rehabilitate users.⁣ ⁣ These are some of the benefits that our VR solutions can offer.⁣

We aim to provide #social connections, physical #wellness, and mental stimulation for people of all ages. We must also do so in a safe and #collaborative manner. This is where #VR comes in. By providing stimulating experiences for care residents, we hope to improve their lives.

ROVR Relieve has been described as “miraculous” by care home staff. ⁣Through our #VR solutions, care homes residents, often known to be withdrawn and unresponsive, have been able to participate in conversations and form meaningful bonds with other residents and care staff.⁣

Ensuring the #wellness of care home residents is crucial, not just for their benefit, but also for care staff. The stimulation, #entertainment, and support residents receive impacts their mood and #health.⁣ Our #VR solutions address each of these aspects.
