Dr. Geoff Wright's journey from NASA experiments to pioneering neuromotor research inspired the founding of UprightVR.
His research at Temple University revealed innovative VR techniques to prevent falls by isolating balance issues.
Together with Yigal Ron, they created SafetyNet™, transforming fall prevention with VR technology for clinics and homes.
Driven by a commitment to advancing care, UprightVR evolved from Dr. Wright’s deep-rooted curiosity into a leading solution for fall prevention.
Our journey merges cutting-edge science with strategic partnerships to revolutionize senior care.
Maintaining balance may seem simple, but as we age, it becomes a significant challenge. Dr. Wright’s experience with NASA’s weightlessness experiments illuminated the complexities of human stability. His innovative research, blending engineering, biomechanics, and neuroscience, has led to breakthroughs in preserving independence for seniors.
Dr. Wright transitioned from aerospace engineering to neuromotor science, focusing on balance disorders among vulnerable populations. His groundbreaking use of VR to address these issues has paved the way for effective fall prevention strategies.
UprightVR was born from the partnership between Dr. Geoff Wright and Yigal Ron. Their collaboration transformed revolutionary research into practical solutions through SafetyNet™, aiming to improve the lives of seniors worldwide with proactive fall prevention strategies.
Advanced tools for precise fall-risk assessment and personalized therapies, improving rehabilitation outcomes.
Focused on identifying and mitigating fall risks, offering interventions that promote independence and well-being.
Creating safer environments, reducing falls, and enhancing care standards and resident satisfaction.
Enhancing balance care and setting new standards in healthcare.
Comprehensive insights and tools to improve patient outcomes and reduce fall-related injuries.
Robust returns by tackling critical healthcare challenges with cutting-edge technology and a commitment to transformative impact.
“We’re appreciative of companies like UprightVR who have solutions that can help maintain the independence of our aging adults.”
“As an audiologist in private practice, the SafetyNet device does two things for me. It’s very efficient from a time perspective. It’s also very cost effective as well; the margins of reimbursement make it something I can use on a daily basis.”
“UprightVR allows us to predict a patient’s ability to fall. So, for our patients who may not have a history of falls yet, it’s able to give us additional detailed information to help us predict their risk of future falls.”
“I think this has been the first time that something that’s off the shelf, can have such a huge impact on a very, very difficult, serious and costly problem, which is falls.”
“The benefits of UprightVR are #1 portability and the quality of the data that you get. It’s a great mix of the bedside postural measures that we see and gives us concrete data to work with.”
At UprightVR, we lead the field in virtual reality therapy by integrating advanced technology with neuromotor science principles. Our solutions are meticulously designed to enhance balance for various healthcare needs, with a particular focus on improving senior care.
