VR mirror therapy for phantom limb pain
The avatar reproduces the missing limb through motion tracking; helps reduce phantom pain.

Digital therapy platform · MedTech · Ukraine
ReCode XR is a VR digital therapy platform for physical rehabilitation after injury, amputation and musculoskeletal trauma — clinically grounded exercises in a game-quality VR format — for the clinic first, and later for the home.

1 President of Ukraine, interview with Fox News, late July 2026 — LB.ua, 31.07.2026.2 Ministry of Health of Ukraine, via WHO; the same “over 100,000” estimate confirmed in 2026 — WHO Europe, 24.02.2025; Northwestern University, April 2026.3 Limakatso et al., PLOS ONE, 2020 — meta-analysis of 39 studies, 12,738 participants (global data) — PLOS ONE
The number of patients recovering from injury and amputation has risen sharply in Ukraine.
Conventional rehabilitation is painful and monotonous — and it holds patients across a long course. Up to half of patients do not follow their home exercise programme.4
Phantom limb pain is widespread and inadequately addressed.
Clinicians have no objective remote monitoring between visits.
International solutions are not localised for Ukraine; local ones are often expensive and weaker on engagement.

Where the gap in the rehabilitation process opens up
The patient completes acute treatment and is referred to rehabilitation.
The clinician builds an exercise programme for functional recovery, pain reduction and adaptation.
Between sessions the patient loses motivation and exercises irregularly, and the clinician cannot see the full picture of progress.
ReCode XR is embedded into the clinical process, making exercises more engaging, more structured and measurable.
After clinical testing the platform extends into home use under remote clinical supervision.
ReCode XR turns rehabilitation exercises into clinically grounded VR scenarios with gamification, biofeedback and a clinician dashboard. The patient goes through therapy in VR at the clinic — and, in the next phase, at home — while the clinician sees progress, receives metrics and can adjust the load remotely.


AAA-level visuals, personalised avatars, RPG progression.
Clinical scenarios built with rehabilitation specialists; objective metrics + pain scales.
Physical rehab, psychological support and patient community in one platform.
Clinic first, home next; Ukrainian localisation; affordable standalone hardware.
Five modules of one platform

The avatar reproduces the missing limb through motion tracking; helps reduce phantom pain.

Real-time movement data, immediate feedback, objective metrics instead of subjective observation.

Personalised avatar · RPG progression

EMG, heart rate and IMU sensors; difficulty and load adjusted remotely.

Monotonous exercises become game goals: more motivation, better adherence.

No fixed equipment; the course continues between clinic visits under remote clinical supervision.

Clinical scenarios — the first two are in the MVP





Modules for cognitive rehabilitation (TBI) and psychological support are planned as add-ons for patients with multiple trauma.

Multiple RCTs
Pain before and after each session, range of motion, and how many patients complete the course.
These outcomes will be measured during the clinical pilot.
Data refer to VR therapy in general, not to ReCode XR specifically. ReCode XR clinical validation is planned during the MVP pilot.
