KT and Pusan National University Hospital to Develop VR Rehabilitation Solution
Advancing and Validating Super VR-Based Rehabilitation Solutions
Rehabilitation program Rehaveware applied to Super VR


VR technology is expected to be fully utilized in the medical field.

KT announced on the 26th that it signed a business agreement with Pusan National University Hospital for the 'joint development and commercialization of VR remote rehabilitation training solutions.'

The two companies plan to jointly develop and activate a VR remote rehabilitation training solution within the year.

To this end, ▲Super VR's game-based rehabilitation training program will be introduced to train the motor function recovery of patients with brain diseases. Based on the clinical results derived here, ▲ we are developing a VR remote rehabilitation solution that allows patients suffering from unilateral neglect syndrome to receive rehabilitation training without time and place constraints, and are moving forward with the world's first commercialization.

In this collaborative project, KT will oversee the advancement of a Super VR-based rehabilitation solution, while Pusan National University Hospital will apply this solution to medical settings and conduct clinical research to verify the actual improvement effects through VR rehabilitation training tailored to each patient's symptoms.

The two companies plan to expand the application of their VR remote rehabilitation training solution to regional medical institutions nationwide, starting with Busan National University Hospital's clinical cooperation hospitals.

To achieve this, KT applied 'REHAB WARE', a game-type VR rehabilitation training program developed by medical startup Tech Village, to Super VR.

Rehaveware was developed to help patients with brain disease regain their daily lives by improving symptoms of paralysis in the arms and hands that they experience during the onset and recovery process.

This is based on the principle that when a patient wears Super VR and uses a remote control in virtual reality to train in tasks such as hammering, pouring a cup, and stacking blocks, the nerves and signal systems in the brain responsible for motor functions are stimulated, gradually improving the motor skills of the patient's arms and hands.

VR-based remote rehabilitation training solutions enable highly immersive and realistic rehabilitation training with a high level of focus. They can be used without time or space constraints, providing a convenient medical environment for both patients and medical staff.

Meanwhile, the business agreement ceremony between KT and Pusan National University Hospital was held online using Super VR's virtual meeting platform 'Engage'.
