About us

Neuro-Mod has developed ARISE (Augmented Reality Integrated Sensorimotor Exercise), the first AR smart therapy for neck pain. Using lightweight AR glasses, ARISE overlays interactive 3D orbs into the user’s real-world environment, guiding precise, goal-directed head and neck movements that improve neck function, range of motion and pain. Each session is personalized by ARISE’s AI smart system which adapts difficulty, speed, and movement patterns based on users performance. Built-in biofeedback, progress tracking, and remote clinician monitoring support better adherence and more informed treatment decisions. ARISE transforms traditional neck rehab into an engaging, game-like experience that can be delivered in clinic or at home, expanding access to safe, research-informed care.
