What is Mantra?

Mantra is…

A term derived from two Sanskrit words—"manas" (mind) and "tra" (tool)

“Mantra”…the word literally means “a tool for the mind”. For us, that tool is a technology called “Virtual Reality”. Contrary to common beliefs, it’s not just for gamers. We use it to design virtual experiences for patients confined to hospitals, nursing homes and rehab centers whose brains and bodies no longer function as they should. Our apps allow patients who’ve lost the ability to walk to go for a jog, or even run in a marathon. Patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia can stimulate happy memories by traveling to places in the world they never thought they’d see again. And they can do it every day, safely and therapeutically.

If your hospital or nursing facility hosts residents that suffer from the depression and isolation that can accompany illnesses like dementia, paralysis, or other long-term sedentary medical conditions, Mantra could be just what they need to relax and feel whole and functional again.
