About CorteXR
From clinical stroke research to practical activity software.
Nudge Reality develops VR software around everyday activities: making a drink, choosing items in a shop and working through familiar routines.
Our work began in cognitive rehabilitation after stroke and now includes CorteXR Stroke and CorteXR Studio.
Company story
Nudge Reality builds CorteXR around the way therapists actually use activities.
CorteXR grew from a simple clinical idea: immersive technology is most useful when it gives people a meaningful activity to do, and gives professionals something clearer to observe, adapt, and discuss afterwards.
The early work focused on cognitive rehabilitation after stroke, using virtual everyday scenarios rather than abstract exercises or novelty headset demonstrations. That thinking still shapes CorteXR today: the software is built around practical activities, supervised sessions, reviewable activity material, and support for the professionals responsible for using it.
Development and partners
Developed with clinical collaboration and innovation support.
The CorteXR work has been shaped through CorteXR Stroke clinical development, patient-facing stroke rehabilitation use, and support from partners connected with healthcare innovation and applied research.



From VIRTUE to CorteXR
The work began in cognitive stroke rehabilitation.
The published VIRTUE/CorteXR clinical work explored immersive VR cognitive rehabilitation after stroke, using realistic interactive scenarios based on activities of daily living.
Read the study findings and limitations on the CorteXR Stroke evidence page.
Two products for different kinds of work.
CorteXR Stroke is UKCA-marked software for clinician-led cognitive stroke rehabilitation. CorteXR Studio is non-medical VR activity software for therapist-led sessions. Clinical evidence and UKCA marking apply to Stroke only.
Both are built around everyday tasks, professional control and practical activity review.
Built for the conversations that happen after the demo.
We help teams explore activity fit, session workflow, headset setup and support. Stroke services can also request clinical evidence, regulatory, clinical safety and data-protection documentation for their review.
