SyncSense MoVR

Længere tids inaktivitet som sengeliggende er hos ældre forbundet med stor risiko for nedsat kondition og muskelstyrke - og hermed et tab af funktionsniveau.

Dette kan forebygges med fx cykling på kondicykel. Men ofte må træningen foregå i kedelige fysiske rammer, fx på en patientstue på sygehus, hvor patienten hurtigt mister motivationen for at træne.

SyncSense ønsker at løse dette problem ved at gøre cykeltræningen sjovere med Virtual Reality. Med VR-headsettet opleves at cykle rundt i et virtuelt univers, og der skabes et incitament til at fortsætte med at cykle og motivationen fastholdes.

Virtual Reality cycling training for people who are bedridden.

Prolonged inactivity and bed rest leads to a high risk of reduced fitness and muscle strength in the elderly - resulting in a loss of functional level. This can be prevented by cycling on an exercise bike. It is a challenge, however, that the training often has to take place in a boring physical setting, and the patient can quickly lose motivation to exercise.

SyncSense wants to solve this problem by making cycling training more fun with Virtual Reality. With the VR headset, the user is cycling around a virtual universe which creates an incentive for the user to continue cycling, and the motivation for training is maintained.
