New deployment is powered by MyndVR's partnership with Select Rehabilitation

DALLAS, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MyndVR, the leading provider of VR-based, digital therapeutic experiences for the aging population, announced today that it has partnered with the Peplinski Group to bring its award-winning VR technology to the group's ten managed senior care communities throughout Michigan. Unique to this community launch is the introduction of MyndVRx(sm), a specialized portfolio of VR therapy tools designed with Select Rehab, Orio Cognitive, and powered by the all new XR Elite immersive glasses by HTC Vive.

Michigan has a high concentration of over two million adults 60+. Homes managed by The Peplinski Group will be the first in Michigan to offer MyndVRx to residents in each community.

"With this technology, we can take our seniors out of the four walls of their therapy room and place them in a kitchen, a grocery store, a tool shed, and practice movements that affect their activities of daily living," said Rick Ackerman of The Peplinski Group. "This is the future of senior care and we're excited to see how it enhances the lives of everyone here."

"We are excited to deploy MyndVRx with The Peplinski Group, one of the most innovative managers of skilled care in the state of Michigan," said Chris Brickler, CEO of MyndVR. "Our mission is to empower seniors to reach their therapeutic goals by making therapy fun, engaging and rewarding using virtual reality."

Shay Lieber, administrator of Stratford Pines Nursing & Rehabilitation Center added, "We are committed to improving patient outcomes and experiences by using the most advanced and cutting-edge technology to enhance the lives of seniors in our care. MyndVR's technology allows us to provide seniors with patient-centered, outcome-driven therapies to achieve and maintain their highest quality of life."

As part of the MyndVR solution, Peplinski will be receiving HTC VIVE's latest immersive glasses in all locations throughout Michigan.

Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC added, "The all-new VIVE XR Elite represents a major milestone for XR technology by combining lightweight ergonomics, color passthrough and enhanced processing power to deliver XR experiences for older adults with stunning visual clarity, advanced hand-tracking, and 3D spatial audio. We are honored to work with MyndVR to continue improving the quality of life for seniors around the globe."
