About Virtetic

At Virtetic we believe the limb loss journey should be one of hope, confidence, and limitless potential

The Problem

The journey to recovery from limb loss is long and uncertain, causing up to 40% prosthesis abandonment rates and 60% phantom limb pain rates

Our Why

We believe the limb loss journey should be one of hope, confidence, and limitless potential

Our How

We do this by transforming the recovery experience with a supportive virtual environment, offering immediate access to physical and mental training that fosters confidence and unlocks limitless potential

How we got started

Our Origin

Virtetic originated at the University of Melbourne's Human-Robotics Laboratory (2016-2020), where we performed the research that sparked our virtual reality solution for prosthesis use training

With support from our clinical advisors and the research translation program at the university (TRAM), we validated that our technology could bring significant benefits to the prosthetics community

How we got here

Our Journey

Since then, we have taken part in multiple accelerator and commercialisation programs (TRAM, Medtech Actuator, ANDHealth, Remarkable) to help us bring our virtual reality interventions to the prosthetics community

We have worked with people living with limb loss, clinicians, and industry leaders in the design and development of our virtual reality technology and interventions

And we have launched our first virtual reality intervention in the Australian market
