HealthyFit
Non-invasive digital therapies that combine high-intensity physical exercise with cognitive stimulation in immersive environments.
Evidence-based rehabilitation
HealthyFit is the UVigo research group's response to the challenge of active aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike traditional rehabilitation, which is repetitive and often demotivating, our solution uses Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) to "trick" the brain, allowing patients with reduced mobility to perform therapeutic physical exercise without perceiving the usual fatigue or pain.
Clinical Innovation: The power of Neuroplasticity
The system is based on double tasking (*dual-tasking*): while the patient performs adapted boxing movements, they must solve cognitive challenges in the virtual world. This combination has clinically proven:
-
Higher Adherence: Gamification turns therapy into a playful experience, increasing patient participation by 200% compared to conventional therapy.
-
Real-Time Biofeedback: The experience can be adapted at any time to the patient's effort and mobility.
-
Transfer to Daily Life: Movements trained in VR improve balance and walking in the real world.
