Technology

How NerVR works

Six linked blocks.

Data collection

EMG — muscle activity
GSR — skin conductance
MAX30102 — pulse, SpO₂
GY-ICM20948V2 — motion, orientation
FSR sensors — pressure force

VR environment

Immersive game
Patient motivation
Interactive tasks
Visual feedback

Mobile app

Live data display
Training history
Reports and progress
AI analyst assistant

Processing and control

ESP32-S3 Plus + Grove Expansion + ADS1115

Sensor capture — analogue and digital signals
Filtering — noise removal, normalisation
Intent interpretation — movement from EMG and sensors
Actuator control — assistance and resistance
Communication — Bluetooth to VR and the app

Execution

Feedback Servo

Assistive movement — help while performing
Active resistance — adjustable load
Real-time adaptation — from sensor data and progress

Result

Better motor control — strength, amplitude, coordination
Objective assessment — data and analytics show progress
Higher motivation — the VR game makes it engaging
AI analytics — recommendations and forecast

How the app works

One patient session

Step 1

Preparation

Signing in

The patient signs in by e-mail.

Plan for the day

The app shows today's session.

Sensor band and VR headset

Short calibration follows.

Step 2

The session

Exercise in the VR headset

The motor helps exactly as much as needed.

The app watches the patient's state

Pulse, tremor and tension.

How is the session going?

Hard

Task simplified, breathing pause.

Easy

Level up, new task.

Dangerous

Everything stops, doctor alerted.

Step 3

After the session

Session summary

Saved to the patient's history.

The doctor sees the picture

Charts, warnings, video call.

New plan

The app prepares the next sessions.

The new plan brings the patient back to the next session Hand rehabilitation: app, sensor band and VR headset

Voices from the clinic

A frequent problem is falling motivation.

Arys AidarbekovChief physician, ZOR QADAM

Three methods at once is a double effect.

Timur NurbekRehabilitation specialist, ZOR QADAM

He came two weeks, then quit.

Aigerim AmandykovaRehabilitation specialist, Clinic City

The key problem is regularity.
