Clincal Study - CHOC

CareXR puts the power of interactive immersive learning into the hands of parents with children who need specialized care at home for their medical devices. Giving these parents cutting edge tools to improve their skills and confidence will reduce their daily stress. CareXR has demonstrated measurable impact for the first 40 families that went through phase 1 of our VR study.

We will be focusing Phase II on how having Mobile access to our PICC Line module, for families at home, improves readmission and complication rates?

CareXR has been conducting an IRB study beginning in August 2022. Published results Q1 2024! - Please reach out to discuss the results of our Phase I study.
