About the company

AcuteXR is a U.S.-based healthtech startup specializing in cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) therapy games. Their innovative approach transports patients into immersive digital environments, helping ease their minds while simultaneously capturing valuable therapeutic data. By leveraging VR technology, AcuteXR provides therapists with insights into patient responses, behaviors, and progress, enhancing the quality of therapy and patient care. Designed for a global audience, AcuteXR aims to revolutionize mental health and rehabilitation therapy by combining advanced VR experiences with data-driven clinical support.

The Challenge

AcuteXR had developed a sophisticated VR therapy game as the core of its product offering. However, to bring this solution to market in a compliant and scalable manner, they needed a robust digital ecosystem to support both operational and regulatory requirements. Ensuring HIPAA and GDPR compliance was crucial to protect patient data and adhere to strict privacy regulations.

Additionally, the company required a platform that allowed therapists to manage patient session data, track progress, handle subscriptions, and process payments seamlessly. AcuteXR’s internal team also needed an administrative interface for efficient user and content management. Beyond the web-based platform, a desktop launcher for Windows and macOS was essential to facilitate easy interaction with the AcuteXR server, enabling seamless game updates and session launches. Given their international aspirations, the solution needed to support multiple languages, allowing accessibility across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Results

Softedge designed and developed a secure, scalable, and HIPAA/GDPR-compliant infrastructure for AcuteXR, enabling them to transition from concept to an operational MVP. A cloud-based web application was built to serve both therapists and administrators, ensuring that therapists could efficiently manage patient data, subscriptions, and payments while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. The administrative dashboard provided AcuteXR’s team with full control over platform operations, allowing seamless user management and subscription tracking. To enhance the overall experience, Softedge developed a custom cross-platform desktop launcher for Windows and macOS, ensuring that users could effortlessly interact with the AcuteXR server, receive game updates, and launch therapy sessions without technical barriers.

The entire platform was deployed on Microsoft Azure, leveraging its HIPAA-compliant infrastructure to guarantee robust security and encryption. Additionally, multilingual support was implemented, making the platform accessible to a diverse global user base. By integrating compliance, cutting-edge technology, and user-focused design, Softedge enabled AcuteXR to bring an innovative VR therapy solution to market, positioning them for success in the digital health space.
