The practical barrier to headset-based activity is often setup
You may be interested in immersive activities, but the practical questions come quickly:
- Which headset do we use?
- Who sets it up?
- How do updates work?
- What happens if the device is not ready before a session?
- How do we manage charging, cleaning, storage, and support?
- How do we introduce the headset without losing appointment time?
These questions matter. If the headset is awkward to maintain, the activity library will not get used consistently.
Studio’s managed headset option is intended to remove avoidable device-management work.
What managed headset support can include
The final support package may vary by arrangement, but the managed route can be designed around:
- headset configuration
- Studio software preparation
- onboarding for you and your team
- device update support
- activity-readiness checks
- practical guidance for charging and storage
- support escalation
- replacement or troubleshooting process where agreed
The goal is not to remove you from the session. The goal is to remove unnecessary device-management work around the headset.
A headset routine for therapy practices
| Stage | Practice question | Managed support role |
|---|---|---|
| Before first use | How do we get the headset ready? | Setup, configuration, onboarding |
| Before a session | Is the device charged and ready? | Practical readiness guidance |
| During a session | How do you supervise use? | Activity process and support material |
| Between sessions | What needs cleaning, charging, or updating? | Device-use guidance and support |
| If something goes wrong | Who do we contact? | Support route and troubleshooting |
This is particularly important for small practices, where there may not be a device support team available for each headset.
How this supports Studio sessions
The activity library is only useful if it is easy enough to use. Managed headset support helps practices get to the useful part of Studio more reliably: choosing activities, supervising sessions, and reviewing what happened.
In a Studio session, you may use activities involving visual search, sorting, sequencing, memory, attention, object use, and everyday simulations. The managed headset route supports the operational side so you can focus on session use rather than device setup.

What you still control
Managed headset support does not decide whether headset-based activity is suitable for a person or session. You remain responsible for suitability, supervision, pacing, interpretation, and decisions.
The software and headset provide activity material and practical delivery. You decide how to use them.
Questions to ask before choosing a managed headset option
- What is included in setup?
- Who handles software updates?
- What onboarding is provided?
- What happens if the headset is not working?
- How should the device be stored and charged?
- What cleaning routine is appropriate for your practice?
- Can the activity library be demonstrated before committing?
- How does the headset route connect to the Studio support process?
These are operational questions, but they have a direct effect on whether immersive activity becomes usable in everyday practice.
What managed support does not replace
Managed headset support can reduce device burden, but it does not remove professional responsibility from your practice.
Your practice still needs to decide:
- who will supervise the session
- whether headset-based activity is suitable for the person on the day
- how long an activity should run
- how cleaning and hygiene are managed locally
- how the headset is stored between sessions
- what fallback activity is available if headset-based activity is not appropriate
- how session notes are handled
The managed route supports device readiness and practical use. You still own the session.
A simple readiness routine
Aim for a repeatable readiness routine:
- Charge the headset after use.
- Store it in the agreed place.
- Check updates before appointment time.
- Select the intended activity.
- Prepare cleaning materials or covers according to local process.
- Confirm the space or seated setup.
- Start with a short activity if the person is new to headset-based activity.
- Review the session and reset the device afterwards.
This routine matters because small delays can make a new tool feel harder than it is.
Studio is non-medical activity software
CorteXR Studio is non-medical immersive activity software for therapist-led sessions. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, monitor, prevent, or alleviate any disease, injury, or impairment.
The managed headset option supports practical use of Studio. It does not change Studio’s intended purpose.

FAQ
Do I need managed headset support?
Not every practice will. Managed support is most useful for practices that want to use Studio without taking on all setup, update, and support responsibilities themselves.
Does managed support include training?
The managed route can include onboarding and practical guidance so you and your team understand how to prepare the headset, choose activities, supervise use, and access support.
Can Studio work with my existing headset?
This depends on device compatibility and product configuration. The walkthrough should capture whether your practice already has a headset so the Studio team can advise.
Is cleaning guidance included?
Shared headset use needs a clear local routine. Studio can provide practical considerations, but each practice remains responsible for its own hygiene, cleaning, and risk-management processes.
Does managed support make Studio a medical product?
No. Managed headset support does not change Studio’s intended purpose. Studio remains non-medical immersive activity software for therapist-led sessions.
