We’re proud to share a new publication in JMIR showing that the RelieVRx program delivers meaningful, lasting relief for individuals with high impact chronic lower back pain: https://lnkd.in/gZ_wTHGm The publication shows that patients with high impact chronic pain maintained meaningful reductions in pain and improvements in function for up to two years after treatment. For people living with chronic pain, that kind of relief can mean sleeping better, moving more freely, and getting back to the moments that matter most. These durable outcomes also support a more sustainable healthcare system by reducing reliance on medications and lowering the need for costly interventions. We’re encouraged to see continued evidence of the long term impact the RelieVRx program can have for patients and the future of pain management. #ImmersiveTherapeutics #ChronicPain #PatientOutcomes #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #MedTech #EvidenceBasedCare

🎙️ Episode 2 of Reimagine Medicine is live! We’re thrilled to welcome our first guest, Dr. Rohan Jotwani. Rohan Jotwani, MD, MBA is a board-certified pain medicine specialist and anesthesiologist, actively practicing in both fields. He is also an internationally renowned expert and researcher in medical extended reality, helping lead the shift toward more accessible, experience-driven care. In this episode, The Power of Immersive Technology, we explore how medical XR and immersive therapeutics are reshaping the future of care, especially for patients living with chronic, often invisible conditions. Dr. Jotwani shares how these technologies are helping patients better understand their experiences, engage more deeply in their treatment, and begin the process of regaining quality of life. The conversation also expands beyond patient care, highlighting how immersive technology is transforming provider education and training through more experiential, intuitive learning. Together, we unpack the growing opportunity for medical XR to bridge gaps in care, extend treatment into the home, and ultimately create a more connected, patient-centered healthcare experience. Listen now and join the conversation on how we can continue to reimagine medicine. 🎥 Watch Episode 2: https://lnkd.in/gNKxJJFW 🎙️ Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/g49xvxUC 🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gPxy34mu

💡 What if improving patient outcomes starts with helping people truly understand what’s happening in their own bodies? In our next episode of Reimagine Medicine, Dr. Rohan Jotwani shares a powerful perspective on chronic conditions: there often isn’t a single, instant fix, but there is a path forward through understanding, awareness, and relearning. For many patients, especially those living with chronic pain, the journey isn’t just about treatment, it’s about building the tools to interpret their experience, manage it, and ultimately regain a sense of control and quality of life. Immersive therapeutics are opening new doors here, meeting patients at home and helping them engage with their condition in a more meaningful, empowering way. Full episode drops tomorrow, 4/8.
