We’re proud to share that Augment Therapy’s ARWell PRO has won Gold in the Product Innovation or Service category at the Anthem Awards.
With more than 2,500 submissions from 43 countries, this recognition is an exciting milestone for Augment Therapy and, more importantly, an acknowledgment of the problem we have been working to solve since the beginning: how can technology make therapeutic movement more accessible, engaging and fun?
Innovation Designed Around a Real Need
The Anthem Awards’ Product Innovation or Service category honors products designed to address a specific issue, provide a solution, or drive meaningful change around a cause.
That mission closely reflects why ARWell PRO was created.
Designed for healthcare providers and their patients, ARWell PRO combines augmented reality, gamification and body-powered interaction to create immersive therapeutic movement experiences. Instead of relying on wearables or handheld controllers, ARWell PRO uses camera-based technology to allow a patient’s own movement to control the experience.
The platform is designed to support people across a range of ages and abilities and can be used across the hospital, clinic, school and home.
Accessibility has also been an important consideration in the platform’s development, with options designed to support different physical, sensory and cognitive needs.
Making Movement More Engaging
At Augment Therapy, we believe technology should serve a purpose beyond simply being innovative.
For ARWell PRO, that means using technology to help transform therapeutic activities into experiences that encourage movement and participation while also supporting the clinicians delivering care.
ARWell PRO offers more than 60 immersive games and activities, along with clinician tools including home exercise programs, telehealth, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring capabilities, data analytics and session information.
It is technology designed around real-world therapeutic environments and the people who use it.
That is what makes receiving Gold in the Product Innovation or Service category particularly meaningful to us.
Recognition That Belongs to a Community
While the award recognizes ARWell PRO, the work behind it extends well beyond the technology.
We are grateful to the clinicians who have shared their insights with us, the patients and families who continue to inspire us, and the Augment Therapy team that continues to push us to think differently about what therapeutic movement can look like.
We’re also fortunate to work with innovative partners and collaborators, including Sesame Workshop and Niantic Spatial, who share our belief in exploring how technology can create more engaging and accessible experiences.
Most of all, this recognition reinforces our commitment to continue building technology that meets people where they are and helps make movement more accessible.
Movement made fun. Now, Gold recognized. 🏆
