”By 2035, approximately 1.8 million professionals will be missing. This corresponds to a shortage of around 35%. This shows that in the coming years and decades, the healthcare sector will face a dramatic supply gap that endangers people’s well-being.”

Gamified therapy in Virtual Reality
CUREO ® is based on three central principles that drive therapeutic success: gamification , Virtual Reality (VR), and the concept of embodiment
Gamification uses gamified elements to increase motivation and therapy engagement. New incentives, milestones, progress indicators, and continuously rising challenges turn therapy into an immersive experience. Playful repetition supports motor learning, promotes movement progress, and leads to sustainable training success.
Virtual Reality opens new possibilities in rehabilitation. Studies show high effectiveness in neurological and motor therapy, as well as broad applicability in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and neuropsychology. VR therapy increases attention, motivation, and is highly resource-efficient
At the same time, CUREO ® supports neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to
form new connections and reorganize functions after injury or disease. Precisely selected visual, auditory, and motor stimuli activate different areas of the brain to optimally support learning and regeneration processes.
The final key principle is embodiment , the conscious perception and integration of one’s own body. Through the representation of a biomechanical avatar in virtual reality, patients perceive a healthy, functioning body in real time and develop a renewed, positive body image. This principle strengthens body perception , supports the coordination of sensory and motor functions, and contributes to improved well-being and quality of life.
CUREO ® brings these scientifically grounded principles together in one system that redefines motivation , effectiveness, and the joy of movement –in every therapy session.
„CUREOSITY aims to put a smile on patients’ faces, enable sustainable movement progress, and make daily use for therapists simple and efficient.
With CUREO®, we already achieve this goal today – and we work every day to expand the horizon of what is therapeutically possible.“
CUREosity GmbH | Chief Executive Officer Caesar van Heyningen

CUREO ® for clinics
Developed with clinical partners, proven in rehabilitation
• CUREO ® was developed with clinical partners and continuously refined based on their feedback. As a result, it meets the high clinical standards and requirements
• CUREO® is already the most widely used VR therapy system for sensorimotor, cognitive, and perceptive therapy in German clinics.
• In 2024, more than 450,000 therapy sessions were conducted with CUREO ® – and the number continues to rise.
• One key advantage is its use throughout all stages of rehabilitation. This enables low-risk therapy starting from the early rehabilitation phase for immobilized
patients in hospital beds and supports a smooth transition into follow-up care for less impaired individuals.
• With CUREO ® 5, clinics benefi t from simplified therapy planning, flexible group therapy through CUREO ® GROUP+1, and centralized data management in the CUREO® HUB.
• The new intuitive user interface enables faster assignment and control of trainings directly on the screen.
• CUREO® is robust, mobile, and easy to disinfect - ideal for everyday clinical use.
A clinical example
Using our group set-up successfully in a stationary clinic
• With the efficient CUREO® group therapy, up to six patients can be treated simultaneously - now even more flexible with CUREO® GROUP+1, which enables individual therapy within the group system.
• The Training Plan and the Therapy Navigator support therapists in planning and assigning trainings. You can either
• assign the same indication-based Training Plan of up to 60 minutes to all patients, or
• create and play a plan tailored to the individual needs of a single patient. During this time, therapists are
available for patient support, documentation, and organizational tasks.
• The new, even more intuitive user interface provides a quick overview of all active sessions, connection status, and available headsets. Tabs at the top of the screen simplify navigation and show connection status, patient assignment, and training progress.
• For patients, it is clearly visible which training is currently active, and therapists can assign new sessions at the right time.

Experiences wth CUREO®
“Thanks to modern methods like CUREO®, we no longer experience staff shortages. Our team is highly motivated and our patients receive excellent therapy.”
Owner valens Physiotherapie + Training Herborn
• CUREO ® enables parallel therapy, where a therapist can treat one patient conventionally while treating another with CUREO ® at the same time.
• With CUREO ® you can also perform parallel documentation and complete time-consuming tasks during the ongoing therapy session.
• This relieves your staff and enables a higher therapy frequency with consistently high quality, without requiring additional resources.
• Modern digital methods not only increase patient motivation, they also make your practice more attractive for new and existing staff
• CUREO ® creates variety in everyday therapy, boosts motivation , and opens up new, creative therapy possibilities.
A practice example
Two application scenarios from occupational therapy and physiotherapy
Best-practice example: Hand
CUREO® hand therapy with “Blopp“
• The picture below shows a patient training with the “Blopp” finger training program, which is used to train the fine motor skills of the fingertips and hands
• Due to the color coding and increasing complexity, the training can also be considered cognitive training
• In addition to “Blopp,” the module was extended with trainings for individual hand movements and hand combination movements, which can also be combined with electrotherapy.
• For severely impaired patients, there is the hand simulation , which aims to initiate movements through visualization
• The hand module is particularly popular in occupational therapy practices and can be ideally combined with the mirror therapy function.
• Besides “Blopp,” patients can train various other hand and finger functions in CUREO ®, for example picking fruit in the adl kitchen, or performing everyday tasks with the adl cube.
Best-practice example: Shoulder
CUREO® shoulder therapy with „Meteor“
• CUREO ® offers a wide range of VR exercises for targeted rehabilitation of the shoulder.These trainings can be individually adapted in difficulty and movement demands, and they specifically promote mobility, strength, coordination, and body perception.
• In the example shown, the patient is performing the “ Meteor ” training, which activates the entire shoulder girdle through targeted reaching, stretching, and rotational movements. Complex movement sequences train control, reaction speed, and gradually increase movement quality step by step.
• Motivating VR environments help pain patients to overcome movement avoidance and regain confidence in their own movement.
• The modular system allows therapists to tailor shoulder therapy individually and integrate it smoothly into everyday clinical practice.
• Shoulder exercises are frequently used in physiotherapy and are especially suitable for early mobilization and the transition into active training phases.
• In addition to “ Meteor,” many other trainings (such as Taiko, Kite, or Waterball) support shoulder therapy by improving strength, movement radius, and coordination Sonification can also be used as an additional method, providing audible feedback that enhances body perception and promotes controlled, relaxed movement.
