RVer Motion: guided movement in Virtual Reality, with every session recorded

Guided movement works when the patient does the exercises, and keeps doing them. RVer Motion is the RVer module that makes that movement guided, recorded and, above all, motivating.

Guided exercise has a well-known problem: it rarely fails for lack of exercises: it fails for lack of consistent repetition. The patient knows what to do, but home exercises are boring, hard to record and easy to abandon. And with no objective record, the team is left relying on self-report, not always reliable, to know what happened between sessions.

RVer Motion was designed to target exactly that.

A coach that demonstrates, a patient who follows along

At the heart of the module is a calm 3D coach that demonstrates each exercise. The patient does not have to read instructions, interpret menus or remember the sequence: they see the movement and follow along. That simplicity is deliberate: it removes the cognitive barrier and keeps the patient focused only on the gesture.

As the patient moves, the app automatically counts the repetitions and logs the movement. What used to be "do three sets of ten" becomes a real, recorded number, session after session.

Exercise that feels like play

Between guided sessions, RVer Motion includes a set of gentle mobility games and seated virtual cycling. Each game works a kind of movement (range, reach, coordination, balance) but to the patient it feels like a game.

That difference is what sustains adherence. Someone who wants to come back tomorrow does more repetitions than someone who feels they are fulfilling an obligation. And because everything is adjustable, the same module serves someone starting out and someone already further along.

From movement to a record

Every recorded movement becomes an objective log for the team to review. Instead of asking "how did it go?", the team opens the session log and sees what happened: repetitions, range, per-session performance, consistency. It is a record of the activity: reading it is always the team's job.

The seated mode also aligns the experience with the tilt of the head, which makes the module usable by people who cannot stand: in bed, in a reclined chair or during other care.

Local, safe and integrated

RVer Motion runs locally on the device, without relying on an internet connection, and is enabled per device. It is part of the RVer platform, whose base product is a Class I Medical Device registered in EUDAMED and with INFARMED (Portugal), with session logging in compliance with GDPR. RVer Motion, RVer Neuro and RVer Exposure are modules in development, not covered by that registration.

The module records session activity: it does not assess, grade or diagnose, and does not replace any clinical assessment or the team's decision. It does what technology should do in a healthcare institution: take work off the team and return a useful record, while keeping the person moving.

Frequently asked questions

What is RVer Motion?

It is the guided-movement module of the RVer system. A 3D coach demonstrates each exercise while the patient follows along, and the app automatically counts repetitions and records the movement: repetitions, range and per-session performance. It includes gentle mobility games and seated virtual cycling, adjustable per patient. It runs locally and does not replace clinical judgement.

Is RVer Motion covered by the medical device registration?

No. The Class I medical device registration in EUDAMED and with INFARMED (Portugal) covers the base product: the RVer video library. RVer Motion and RVer Neuro are modules in development, not covered by that registration. The base product bears the CE mark under MDR 2017/745; the modules are not covered by that registration.

Does RVer Motion assess or diagnose?

No. The module records session activity: repetitions, range and performance, with no grading, thresholds or norms. It does not assess, grade or diagnose, and does not replace any clinical assessment. Reading the log is always the team's job.

Does it need internet or a complex installation?

No. RVer Motion runs locally on the headset, without relying on an internet connection, and is enabled per device in the settings. Installation and team training are included.
