Researchers at the Kaunas University of Technology, Faculty of Informatics, presented iTrain, an interactive game designed to care for people after a stroke. While the iTrain game allows the patient to experience patient care in a virtual environment and teaches other essential aspects, BiomacVR, focuses on patient rehabilitation and the goal of getting the person back on their feet as quickly as possible.

Tthe integration of virtual reality into physical therapy is an innovation that will allow patients to focus on the task at hand and perform it correctly. The software enables the patient to study and adjust the exercises, which ensures an effective healing and rehabilitation process.
