“Traditional rehabilitation methods for patients of stroke or other neurological disorders are incredibly tedious, and many patients don’t complete their exercises often enough to be effective,” says Scott Kim, co-founder and CEO of NEOFECT USA, in a media release.

“Our solutions incorporate the latest advancements in virtual reality and artificial intelligence, creating a fun yet measurable way to train and objectively measure progress. These awards and more importantly, feedback from patients prove that game-based training is the future of rehabilitation, and they only fuel our drive to continue to develop innovative, accessible rehab solutions for patients worldwide.”
