Experience Cutting-Edge Brain Enhancement & Rehabilitation with Virtual Reality
We enhance mental agility through innovative VR games. This is a cutting-edge technology for cognitive enhancement and rehabilitation.

VR ( Virtual Reality ) as a cutting-edge technology for cognitive rehabilitation and enhancement .

VR (Virtual reality ) is an FDA-approved concept for mental health that improves cognitive indexes such as attention, memory, reaction time, cognitive flexibility, motor skills, problem-solving, and spatial orientation. 


  VR in Cognitive Enhancement.

With increasing life expectancy, the quality of life has become more important in the current decade. According to the World Health Organization, brain health is reflected through key cognitive abilities—attention, memory, motor skills, processing speed, problem-solving, and spatial awareness. Just as we prioritize our physical well-being, nurturing our mind is equally essential.

Cognitive Enhancement is good for who?

Students, Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming cognitive enhancement for students, boosting learning abilities, sharpening attention, and optimizing exam readiness.

Sports and Athletics (Also known as Neuro-Doping), VR is transforming cognitive enhancement in sports and athletics by sharpening focus, improving reaction time, and enhancing decision-making under pressure. Through immersive cognitive training, athletes can strengthen mental resilience, refine spatial awareness, and optimize motor skills—gaining a powerful edge in performance and recovery.

Human Resources (HR), employees can enhance their attention, adaptability, and stress management—leading to higher productivity, better teamwork, and a more resilient workforce.

Longevity, Cognitive enhancement for longevity by promoting brain health and brain empowerment. Individuals can enhance cognitive functions, reduce the risk of decline, and maintain a sharp, engaged mind—supporting a healthier and more fulfilling life as they age.

Elderly and Aging, As we age, challenges in memory, attention, reaction time and other cognitive functions become more common. VR offers a powerful solution to not only slow cognitive decline but also enhance and restore mental agility—helping individuals stay sharp, engaged, and independent for longer.

 Benefits of Virtual Reality-based Rehabilitation,

One of the biggest advantages of virtual reality -based rehabilitation is that it provides a much more engaging experience compared to traditional rehabilitation methods. This increased engagement helps to motivate patients and makes therapy more enjoyable, leading to better results. The immersive nature of VR also helps to distract patients from their pain and discomfort, allowing them to focus on the therapeutic exercises and get more out of the experience.

Virtual reality -based rehabilitation is also a highly effective form of therapy. With the ability to customize the virtual environment to specific goals and needs, VR-based rehabilitation offers a safe and controlled environment for therapy. Patients can engage in therapeutic exercises without the risk of further injury or the need for assistance from a therapist. This not only makes therapy more convenient but also provides peace of mind for patients and their families.


What is the importance of using VR virtual reality in empowering the brain?

The brain accepts what it sees and imagines, and the associated neural pathways are fully activated. Currently, except for virtual reality (VR), there is no other technology in the world that can provide this. In virtual reality , the headset reduces the person's connection to the environment and allows them to fully focus on the task.


 VR as a cognitive Rehabilitation method could help to :

ADHD, sLD, Alzheimer`s Disease, CP, Addiction, Emotion regulation weakness, ASD, Inntelectual disability, Down syndrome and Chemotherapy cognitive improvement.


ADHD, There are multiple papers that Virtuleap cognitive VR rehabilitation has a significant positive effect on ADHD signs ( related paper )

sLD (Learning Disability), We define a learning disability as the inability to achieve academic success despite having a normal IQ. The main reason of sLD is normal cognitive function in some dimensions and weakness in the others. Enhance could help your client in this way.

Alzheimer's Disease, One of the main domains that could help the client with MCI ( Mild Cognitive Impairment) is VR. VR, in addition to improving memory, working memory and attention because of the need for movement, could be more helpful for these clients. ( related paper )

CP (Cerebral Palsy), One of the main dimensions of VR-based cognitive rehabilitation is motor skills and Processing speed. Also, in CP, we expect cognitive impairment.  

Addiction,  VR game inspired by the Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) paradigm. CBM is a therapeutic approach designed to change automatic thought patterns that contribute to maladaptive behaviors, such as those seen in alcohol use disorder. ( related paper )

Emotion regulation problems, Studies show that we could improve EF (Executive Function) with Virtual-Rality; this enhancement will help clients have better control of their emotions, and we could see a better emotion regulation. ( related paper )

ASD (Autism), VR will help high-functioning ASD clients. VR could help improve cognitive functions, emotion regulation, and movement coordination.

Intellectual disability, In the WISC-5 IQ test, the Intelligence score is the average of 5 cognitive scores, such as processing speed, visouspatial index, and working memory. In our VR cognitive rehabilitation , you could improve these indexes so we could see the improvement of IQ. ( related paper )

Down syndrome, Using Virtual Reality to Improve Classroom Behavior in People With Down Syndrome. Studies show it will improve mood, impulsivity, anxiety, attention, and activity. ( related paper )

Chemotherapy, Researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) show that chemotherapy may impact cognitive function. The studies could show the potential benefits and effectiveness of virtual reality -based cognitive training in a healthcare setting. ( related paper )


 What is "Enhance" as a VR cognitive program?

An immersive brain training app offers seven categories of short, gamified cognitive workouts.

The client will do the training in VR glasses, and then the therapist will see the cognitive result in the admin panel website like the picture below.

The gray shows the Normal range, Red shows the first session's level of client (Benchmark), and Blue shows the current level of cognitive ability.





We are the Official representatives of Virtuleap company in MENA ( Middle East and Africa ).


Virtuleap is developing a cognitive enhancement platform in cooperation with UCLA University, ROCHE, Pacific Brain Health Center, National Innovation Center Aging, and Penumbra Hospital Holdings.


is collaborating with the Roche Institute for the treatment of Alzheimer's, the University of Lisbon for the treatment of hyperactivity, the Center for Longitudinal Research in China on the effect of mood improvement using VR and its positive effect on sleep, collaboration with the University of Oxford, Kharazmi University and Vasal rehabilitation in treatment sLD (in progress). Virtuleap won 9 digital health awards in 2022 and is currently the most prestigious virtual reality content production institute in the world.


 VR therapy sessions how it works

In the VR-based rehabilitation program, you will wear a VR headset that will transport you to a virtual environment. The virtual environment is designed to mimic real-life scenarios and provide a wide range of therapeutic exercises. You will engage in activities such as physical movements, balance training, and cognitive exercises that target specific areas of the brain. The program can be customized to your specific needs and goals, ensuring that you get the most out of the experience.
