Maintaining physical and mental health through evidence-based exercise is especially important for cancer patients, as they are often limited to their rooms for days and weeks at a time while undergoing treatment. We can truly provide 24/7 access to exercise with our software while transforming the experience and setting to make exercise more fun. Who would not want to exercise on the surface of the moon or while swimming with sea turtles? The company’s technology can and should be leveraged not just to improve access to care but to improve the experience of care for today’s children in all settings.
