Our digital health projects

The iOS app “Vivellio” helps manage health data and appointments. Whether it's medical findings, medications, vaccinations, treatment appointments, or diary entries about pain or moods – with “Vivellio”, all information is always at your fingertips. Netural took on the role of “Technical Lead” in this project by the Linz-based startup "Blockhealth", with a focus on delivering the best user experience.

VR4 Mind & Motion supports people with dementia by using virtual reality during physical training on a recumbent ergometer. By “immersing in a virtual world” – such as a forest or meadow – the aim is also to evoke positive emotions in those affected. In addition to promoting relaxation, it is intended to increase motivation for physical activity on the recumbent ergometer. The project is funded by the State of Upper Austria as part of the strategic economic and research program “Innovatives OÖ 2020.”

A smart app-based solution to support patients aged 55 and older in physiotherapy and other movement-oriented treatments. Wearables fitted with sensors will track the success of physical exercises, providing patients with immediate feedback and raising motivation by gameifying training. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The web app "Covidoor" relieves Covid-19 locks in public and private facilities with public access - especially in particularly sensitive areas such as hospitals, old people's homes and nursing homes - with a free QR code ticket that can be scanned from the smartphone or paper printout upon entry.

Brain surgery is extremely demanding. A neurosurgery simulator connects real and virtual worlds to create a versatile and highly realistic training environment. The medical model project MEDUSA will boost Upper Austria's standing as medical engineering location.

With just one click on a cup-sized button, family members, neighbors, volunteers, and medical professionals are ready to assist via TV when needed. Additionally, by activating the social networks of elderly individuals (family, neighbors, friends, volunteers, associations) and through real-life events, the project aims to ensure their social integration and promote intergenerational contact through a mix of analog and digital online volunteering formats. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The „WheelSim VR“ simulator uses 3-D visualizations to safely teach physically handicapped persons how to steer electric wheelchairs, resulting in the necessary proof of competence for insurance approval procedures. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

A research project with focus on plastic surgery, providing surgeons with an augmented reality tool for precisely planning endogenous tissue transplantations. VizARd visualizes important information like images and possible cutting lines in real-time. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The goal of VR4Care is to explore the foundations for developing a motivating, gender-sensitive, customizable, and cost-effective VR technology aimed at increasing activation and quality of life for residents in long-term care facilities. This project was funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The „Sharing Stories, Sharing Life“ project aims at developing a training tool for uneducated elderly persons to help them reflect on experiences, share their feelings and improve their social competences both online and offline, thus overcoming their social exclusion.

The VR4Therapy's main focus is on scientifically exploring the effects of mainly biography-related VR-Content on (a) the quality of life and the behavior of dementia patients and (b) the relief it may offer for families and nurses. This project was funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

This is an innovative project arriving at quite novel results. Working with VR was a first for our project partner Red Cross Upper Austria. This implementation breaks the ground for an entertaining and therefore lasting educationally sound way to transport knowledge to young audiences.

The "New Reality" project aimed at offering elderly persons an immersive virtual reality platform that provides them with new environments, perspectives and, subsequently, new motivation to exercise.

This application for mobile devices takes a groundbreaking approach to supporting individual performance and recreation, contributing to the development of employees' potentials and wellbeing in businesses and public bodies.

The Rehab@Home system supports the sustainable rehabilitation of elderly stroke victims. R@H uses individually customized 'serious games' on standard hardware components and devices like Wii and KINECT, adapted to meet medical requirements.

Developed for the SafeMove project, this is a mobility solution for persons suffering from early stages, or "mild”, dementia. The system uses a set of hardware and software components to sustain and improve the patients' mobility.
