Science and regulation

What is registered,
and what is not yet.

The question any service asks before buying. Answered on its own page, not in small print at the end of another one.

01What the registration covers

The Class I medical device registration (Infarmed, MDR 2017/745) covers the base product: the video library. The modules are complements in development and are not covered. The base product bears the CE mark under MDR 2017/745, self-declared by the manufacturer with no notified body.

02What RVer does not do

Worth writing out in full, rather than inferring it from what goes unsaid.

It does not prescribe, assess or diagnose

RVer AI ranks the library and shows the evidence behind each suggestion. The choice is always the team's.

It does not replace clinical assessment or judgement

It is a non-pharmacological complement, used under the supervision of the healthcare team.

It is not for self-administration

The intended users are healthcare professionals and trained carers. The patient is always supervised.

It does not collect clinical patient data

No personal or clinical data leaves the headset. Only per-device usage statistics, which identify no one.

04The evidence we rely on

We collect published research on virtual reality in healthcare settings. Most of it comes from independent teams; our own team also publishes, and those texts are marked as such.

Most are by independent, peer-reviewed authors; the texts marked as RVer Study are written by our team. None of them is a performance claim for the product, nor a substitute for clinical assessment. The Class I medical device registration (Infarmed) covers the base product.
