Yoga mats, VR headsets, and sticky notes on every surface. That was Immergo Labs HQ last week 🧘🥽🗒️

VA providers and leaders across mental health, primary care, rehab, pain, and nursing joined subject matter experts from academia and industry in Mountain View for Part 2 of our embodied XR telehealth co-design with the VA Clinical Resource Hub (CRH) and Houston VA IQuESt.

Part 1 in June at the Boise VAMC was about shadowing, listening, and exploring. Part 2 was about building: live provider and client session simulations, a frenzy of new prototypes, and one question. How might we design live XR telehealth flows for whole health across VA CRH?

So we got on the floor and into immersive telehealth rooms. Balance, reaction time, and sit to stand assessments. Embodiment across standing, seated, and lying down exercises. Some epic paddle ball, furious bubble popping, then breathing exercises to wind down.

Day 1 ended with sticky notes. Day 2 ended with a plan. Ideas prioritized, votes cast, next steps set, and ten VA owned headsets went home with co-designers. Iteration continues. More news to come soon 🚀

Thank you to our VA leads Kedron Burnett PA-C (CRH), Hilary Touchett (IQuESt), and Felicia Skelton (IQuESt), our VA co-designers Nadia S. Hussain, MD, Jami Gauthier, Shannon Gorman, Radharani "Laksmi" Simon, Shilpa Reddy, and many more, and every VA lead who made it happen behind the scenes, including travel from Legacy CRH 12, 19, and 21. Our crew Aviv Elor, Michael Powell, Alyssa Tu, Maxim Kuznetsov, Richard Borys , and Ash Robbins worked alongside subject matter experts Laura Kusumoto and Jared Duval, Ph.D. Thanks to Fogarty Innovation for hosting us as a company in residence and to the National Science Foundation for the SBIR grant behind our core technologies.

"There has to be a better way."

That thought struck our co-founder Aviv Elor after he ruptured the tricep in his dominant arm at collegiate judo nationals. Full-time engineering classes, a lot of pain, and the nearest care provider sitting on the other side of a mountainous highway.

Most of us have been sidelined by an injury at some point, and that frustration drove what we build at Immergo Labs.

We are building one of the world's first embodied telehealth platforms for movement care. Train right from your web browser, or put on a VR headset and it feels like you and your provider are in the same room. No commute, no wasted time, just movement care that meets you where you are.

In this one-minute video, Aviv shares where Immergo started, and one of our clients shares where it took them: real conversations with a real provider, from their own room, that helped them recover.

Our mission is simple. Make quality movement care easy for everyone, and put the best tools in as many hands as possible.

It's been a busy summer at Immergo Labs! ☀️

A quick look back at all that's kept us moving:

🎖️ We spent three days at the Boise VA Medical Center co-designing embodied XR telehealth with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Resource Hub and iQUEST teams. 30 people, 21 VA providers, countless sticky notes, and one shared roadmap for how immersive movement care can better serve Veterans.

🤸 We made our AWE debut in Long Beach, pitching at the Startup Pitch Competition, exhibiting at Booth S81 in the IVRHA Pavilion, and joining AWE's first-ever research poster track. Over 50 demos later, we left energized by the growing XR healthcare community around us.

🌱 And we welcomed our 2026 summer interns, Clare, Lauren, and Farina, in partnership with Fogarty Innovation and QB3 at UC Santa Cruz. They are already leaving their mark on our media, home exercise library, and avatar work.
Grateful to every collaborator, provider, and partner who kicked off the summer with us.

"Am I out here for 30 minutes, or can I be out here for three hours?"

That was the question on Elliot A.'s mind every time he got on his bike. New to cycling, he was managing lower back pain that shaped how long he could ride, and whether the day would be a good one.

Then he tried Immergo. No facility, no big chunk carved out of his day from traveling, just pop on the headset and get to work. The lower back issues he used to feel day in and day out? In his words, "It's gone."

In this video, he gets into:
🚴 How he stopped scheduling his rides around his back
🥽 Why popping on the VR headset beat taking a chunk out of his day for a facility visit
🧠 The anatomical model his provider marked up to get granular on the exact muscles

30 people. 3 days. 1 room. Boise VAMC was buzzing with headsets and sticky notes 🥔🥽🗒️

Last week, teamed up with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Resource Hub and iQUEST teams to co-design how embodied XR telehealth could serve Veterans.

21 VA providers, 4 subject matter experts, and 5 Immergo team members dove in together. We shadowed care teams in the VA's telehealth cart, then providers jumped into our VR and web apps: embodied telehealth sessions, exercise programs, environment customization, and more. Sticky notes flew. Ideas multiplied. We closed with a shared vision for what comes next.

More to come soon 🚀

P.S. Swipe to the end for some very good pups that guided us around Boise afterwards 🐕

That's a wrap on ! 🤸

Immergo's first Augmented World Expo, and the team showed up across all three tracks: pitching at the Startup Pitch Competition, presenting at AWE's first-ever Research Poster track, and running 50+ demos at Booth S81 in the IVRHA Pavilion.

Founders Aviv Elor and Michael Powell shared Immergo's vision for empowering movement care providers and clients with spatial AI, pointed squarely at an "I, Spatial" future where technology empowers humanity. 🌊

At the Immergo exhibit, folks customized their own virtual clinic, met a mock client, recorded their own full body exercises, and took on a 3 minute warm up authored by 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Amit Elor. It got competitive! Congrats to our home exercise champions who came within a hair of a perfect score. 🥇 (And a special visit from Aqua, the world's most augmented dog, who asked some especially hard questions. 🐕)

But the best part is always the people. Thank you to IVRHA for the warm welcome, to the AWE team for an incredible event, and to every fellow founder, exhibitor, researcher, and friend we met along the way. We came in as first-timers and left immensely energized.

"I just decided that I'm going to accept pain."

That was Deandre Z. before becoming an Immergo client. 15 years of chronic lower back pain he’d written off as unsolvable.

He came in a skeptic of VR healthcare and walked away a proponent, back to lifting 225 pounds with confidence.

In this video, he gets into:
🥽 A moment a VR session delivered something no 2D video call could
🏠 Why he stopped scheduling around waiting rooms and insurance
🕺 What avatar tracking actually does in a movement session

It's March Madness over here at Immergo 🏀

Thank you to everyone following along with our journey. Your support, feedback, and honest conversations keep shaping what we build. Here's what's been happening.

🏋️‍♀️ Our alpha users continue to blow us away. One user came to with chronic back pain and no time for long drives to physical therapy. After 4 months on the platform, they're cycling comfortably without pain for the first time. Stories like this are why we do what we do. We're learning what's working (personalized movement coaching, real-time movement tracking, exercise programs) and what we can keep improving. Interested in joining? Let us know!

🔬 Our Veterans Affairs (VA) usability study is progressing: 20+ veterans are receiving VR-based movement care through Immergo. We're studying how VR can increase access for veterans who face barriers like distance, mobility limitations, and long wait times.

🌟 We demoed Immergo to 50+ clinicians, researchers, and VR leaders at IVRHA's 10th Annual Symposium and APTA ALI's . Immergo co-founder Aviv Elor presented on user-centered design for embodied telehealth. Watching people's curiosity turn into genuine excitement after trying the platform never gets old. These moments continue to drive our mission of building to empower providers and clients.

📢 New feature alert: Autodoc is fully live! We evolved our structured session reports to include something providers have been asking for: speak naturally during or after a session, get live transcripts and AI-generated SOAP notes to review and finalize. Less documentation burden, more time for client care.

🛣️ Where to find us next: Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit 2026 in Phoenix AZ and the Augmented World Expo (AWE) in Long Beach CA.
