The Partnership

The partnership joining Fyzical’s nationally recognized Balance Paradigm with UprightVR’s patented, FDA-registered platform creates an automated, standardized workflow with objective balance assessment, personalized rehabilitation, and measurable outcomes in a single immersive system, according to the companies. The solution is designed to help clinicians deliver Fyzical’s evidence-based approach more consistently while improving clinical decision-making, increasing patient engagement, and streamlining care. 

“Fyzical has built one of the most respected balance rehabilitation programs in the country,” said Mick Navin, Chief Executive Officer of UprightVR. “By combining Fyzical’s clinical expertise with our data driven immersive technology, we are providing the most comprehensive balance care in the industry.” 

“Innovation has always been central to Fyzical’s mission of helping people live their best life and be able to do the things they want and need to do”, said Craig O’Neil, President of Fyzical. “UprightVR’s technology complements our evidence-based clinical approach with meaningful data that help clinicians deliver exceptional patient care.” 

Fyzical’s proprietary Balance Paradigm serves as the clinical foundation while UprightVR’s SafetyNet automates objective balance assessment and data capture, and RecoVR delivers personalized targeted, gamified rehabilitation. According to the companies, collectively the solution empowers clinicians to consistently deliver Fyzical’s evidence-based approach while strengthening clinical decision-making, increasing patient engagement, and creating a more streamlined care experience.
