In Virtual Reality News

April 1, 2025 – Mynd Immersive, a provider of immersive healthcare solutions for older adults, has announced that during the first quarter of 2025 it expanded its digital health services with the addition of 150 senior living communities across the United States.

The company stated that the milestone represents “the largest deployment of extended reality (XR) therapies in senior care history,” noting an average deployment and training rate of 25 communities per week.

Mynd offers a range of immersive therapy solutions aimed at supporting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being among older adults. The company collaborates with partners including Select Rehabilitation, HTC VIVE, AT&T, and various spatial content providers to distribute its offerings. Mynd also noted ongoing partnerships with Stanford University, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), focused on collecting data related to XR use in aging populations.

“We envisioned early on that virtual reality would profoundly enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for seniors,” said Chris Brickler, co-founder and CEO of Mynd Immersive. “Today, we’re seeing Mynd become an essential part of healthcare delivery, driving real-world gains in functional therapy, cognitive engagement, and staff training.”

Mynd stated that its partner Select Rehabilitation, a U.S.-based contract therapy provider with over 20,000 therapists, is working to integrate the ‘MyndXR’ platform across its network to help enhance physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and support cognitive, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

“Our partnership with Mynd empowers therapists to engage patients in meaningful, motivating experiences that support real clinical outcomes,” said Anna Wolfe, CEO at Select Rehabilitation. “With these tools, we are creating the therapy room of the future – today. Our therapists can now work on improving range of motion, strength building, gait training, spatial awareness, and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) through immersive environments that make rehabilitation both effective and enjoyable.”

Powered by the HTC VIVE XR Elite virtual reality (VR) headset, the MyndXR platform delivers immersive experiences that the company states are designed with clinical objectives and comfort in mind.

“Aging is a global challenge, with over 1.6 billion people projected to be over 65 by 2050,” said Cher Wang, Co-Founder and Chairwoman of HTC. “It’s inspiring to see our technology bring healing and joy into the lives of older adults. We are proud to partner with Mynd to make real-world positive impacts on peoples’ lives, furthering our vision of merging technology and imagination to benefit humanity.”
