About Virtuleap
Virtuleap: Revolutionizing Health and Education with VR and AI
Virtuleap is a health and education VR startup that is taking cognitive assessment and training to the next level thanks to VR and AI. The company was founded in 2016 by Amir Bozorgzadeh, a former investment banker turned entrepreneur, who saw the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology to improve people's lives.
The mission of Virtuleap is to create immersive experiences that enhance cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, perception, and decision-making. By using cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), and biometrics, Virtuleap aims to provide personalized training programs that adapt to each user's needs.
One of the main advantages of using VR for cognitive assessment and training is its ability to simulate real-life situations in a safe environment. For example, Virtuleap has developed a game called "Sea Hero Quest" that allows players to navigate through different levels while testing their spatial awareness skills. This game has been used by researchers at University College London (UCL) to collect data on dementia patients' navigation abilities.
Another benefit of using VR for cognitive training is its ability to provide instant feedback on performance. By tracking users' movements, eye gaze patterns, heart rate variability (HRV), electroencephalography (EEG) signals, or other physiological markers, Virtuleap can measure their progress over time and adjust the difficulty level accordingly.
Virtuleap's products are designed for various target audiences such as healthcare professionals who want to diagnose or treat neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease or stroke; educators who want to enhance students' learning outcomes by improving their attention span or creativity; corporations who want to train employees on soft skills like leadership or communication; gamers who want to have fun while improving their mental agility.
Virtuleap has already received several awards and recognitions for its innovative approach to VR and AI. In 2017, the company won the "Best VR/AR Startup" award at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2018, Virtuleap was selected as one of the top 10 finalists in the "Global EdTech Startup Awards" competition held in London, UK.
Virtuleap's team consists of experts from various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, computer science, game design, and business development. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands but has a global reach thanks to its partnerships with universities, hospitals, companies and organizations around the world.
