Curest agrees on VR solution with Capio's owner

Curest, founded in Luleå in 2020, has developed a VR solution for the rehabilitation of neck and head pain. With a VR headset, the patient can do various movement exercises in a virtual world. It has been tested and evaluated by Capio in Västra Götaland in Sweden and has been successful.

Now Capio's owner Ramsay Santé has signed an agreement with Curest to spread the method to all its markets. Ramsay Santé is one of Europe's major healthcare players with 36,000 employees in five countries. Capio has been part of Ramsay Santé since 2018, with clinics in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

"We see opportunities to scale the VR solution to more markets to increase access to quality physiotherapy for more patients. Innovation is key to building tomorrow's health," says Michael Adler, Business Innovation Director at Ramsay Santé's innovation hub.

"Ramsay Santé is an important and valued healthcare provider that we are excited to continue working with. We have already gone to Norway together with them, and the new agreement opens up more opportunities and markets," says Emil Lilja, CEO of Curest.

Curest started in Luleå in 2020 and was part of the incubator Arctic Business and is now an alumni company of Arctic Business.

The type of rehabilitation performed with Curest's VR glasses is called sensorimotor training. The technology enables more accurate measurement methods when examining the patient. VR stands for Virtual Reality.
