EPIO Research vs VITAL Augmented Reality

EPIO is a pain self-management program designed to support those living with chronic pain, and includes information, various strategies and coping methods, useful exercises and many other thoughts and suggestions for everyday life. EPIO is based on scientific methods and principles that we know can work, and the goal is for EPIO to help reduce the impact of pain in your everyday life, and to make it easier for you to live well, despite the pain.

VITAL Augmented Reality (AR) engages patients in completing interactive exercises and activities that promote general health & wellness without requiring any equipment. By utilizing the built-in camera of a smartphone or tablet, VITAL AR utilizes machine learning and pose detection algorithms to detect movement and verify that patients are completing their daily exercise programs in a safe and effective manner. In addition, VITAL AR enables patients to connect their mobile device to their TV wirelessly in order to fully optimize their interactive experience. As a result, patients are fully immersed in their exercise programs while improving their overall health. VITAL AR has created an innovative, comprehensive, and proven approach to supporting Tele-Rehabilitation by extending the clinic into the home environment while creating a new standard for convenient and frequently monitored physical therapy and rehabilitation activities. Key Features include: 1. Encourages “real-time” patient interaction by engaging in physical therapy exercises that promote general health and wellness. 2. Facilitates patient access to more frequent and convenient physical therapy and rehab outside of the clinic environment. 3. Interactive voice training and voice inflection technology promotes speech improvement by emphasizing volume and clear pronunciation 4. Growing library of exercises that are designed for patients that seek to maintain independence while performing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) 5. Ability to monitor improvements in Range of Motion (ROM), exercise precision, and activity duration over time
