What does the patient do?
Patients practise virtual activities based on everyday routines, such as finding items, following steps, responding to distractions, or completing a familiar task safely.
For OT and stroke rehabilitation teams
ADL-based VR practice for post-stroke cognitive rehabilitation.
CorteXR helps clinicians give stroke survivors structured practice with everyday cognitive tasks, with activity grading, progress review, and support for hospital, community, and home-based pathways.
For OT and stroke teams
Functional cognition becomes visible in activity.
CorteXR uses virtual Activities of Daily Living so clinicians can offer structured practice around the skills that affect everyday recovery: attention, memory, sequencing, planning, problem-solving, and error correction.
ADL-ledPractice is based on recognisable daily tasks.
Clinician-directedActivities and difficulty sit under clinical control.
ReviewableSession data can support discussion and follow-up.
SupportedGuidance is available for patients, helpers, and teams.
Clinical use
Structured practice for the cognitive demands of everyday activity.
CorteXR is not a replacement for therapy or clinical judgement. Its role is to create more opportunities for purposeful cognitive practice, in a format that can be graded, repeated, observed, and connected back to rehabilitation goals.
What does the clinician control?
Clinicians select activities, match difficulty to ability, review performance, and use the session to support rehabilitation goals rather than treating VR as a standalone exercise.
What makes it clinically useful?
ADL-based tasks make cognitive barriers easier to observe: missed steps, loss of attention, poor sequencing, impulsivity, fatigue, or difficulty correcting mistakes.
How does home use work?
For suitable patients, practice can continue outside the clinic with headset setup guidance, activity support, and clear routes for patient or helper questions.
Why ADLs
Everyday tasks reveal cognitive demands that can be hard to capture in abstract exercises.
A virtual kitchen, shop, cafe, or bedroom task is only useful if it serves a rehabilitation purpose. CorteXR is designed around functional practice, so the patient works through cognitive demands that shape daily independence.
Attention and visual scanning
Finding the right object, staying with the task, and noticing relevant cues in the environment.
Sequencing and planning
Working through steps in the right order and adjusting when a task does not go as expected.
Memory and orientation
Remembering instructions, recognising what has already been done, and staying oriented within the activity.
Problem-solving and error correction
Making choices, spotting errors, and practising safer strategies in a controlled environment.
Care settings
Designed for supervised rehabilitation and supported practice beyond the clinic.
The right starting point is usually a defined pathway need, not a broad technology rollout. A team might be looking at inpatient practice, discharge continuity, community rehabilitation, supported home use, or a bounded service evaluation.
- Inpatient stroke or neurorehabilitation where clinicians want supervised ADL-based cognitive practice alongside usual therapy.
- Early supported discharge and community stroke pathways where continuity after hospital discharge is difficult to maintain.
- Supported home practice for selected patients who can use a headset safely with the right clinical and helper support.
- Service evaluation or research pathways where the team wants to understand acceptability, workflow, support burden, and clinical usefulness before wider adoption.
Planning a review
Start with the patient group, clinical goal, and pathway stage.
These questions help establish whether CorteXR is worth reviewing for a specific pathway, and what information would be most useful to share first.
- Which patient group and pathway stage are you considering?
- What cognitive or functional goals would CorteXR need to support?
- Who would select patients, set activities, review sessions, and respond to support needs?
- What information do you need first: clinical evidence, assurance material, deployment details, or a product walkthrough?
Clinical information
Evidence, governance, and deployment information are available on request.
If CorteXR looks relevant, the next step can simply be a request for more information. Clinical teams may want the evidence summary first. Digital, governance, or procurement colleagues may need assurance material. Service leads may want to understand the operating model before arranging a walkthrough.
Clinical evidence
A published randomised controlled study is summarised on the clinical evidence page, with outcome caveats and a link to the source publication.
Clinical governance
Clinical safety, regulatory, data protection, deployment, and NHS assurance material can be shared with appropriate reviewing teams.
Operating model
CorteXR can discuss patient selection, programme setup, headset logistics, support responsibilities, and review workflow.
Patient and helper support
Support content covers headset setup, activity use, connectivity, troubleshooting, and common home-use questions.
