VR-based Assessment Platform for Extensive Insight
Into the Working Principles of
the Mind & Body
Neo Auvra is a digital health company that conducts immersive VR-based neuropsychological and psychomotor assessments that reveal an individual’s overall health and standing in cognitive, socio-emotional, and physio-physical areas.
“As of now, no simple, direct, or global measure of brain health exists.”
Meet Neo Auvra; the creator of a clinically validated digital assessment platform (NORA VRx™) that consists of cognitive, socio-emotional, physio-physical, and metabolic evaluations and measurements, developed through the integration of neuroscience, cognitive sciences, psychology, psychophysiology, biomedical engineering, and sports sciences.
By employing neuroscience-based immersive simulation technologies, high-precision biometric devices, and our proprietary “markerless” motion analysis system, we produce a unique technology that comprehensively assesses, scores, and reports individuals’ cognitive, socio-emotional, and physiological states.

Unlike traditional assessments that only provide a narrow view based on self-reported data, VR assessments offer a holistic and objective evaluation. By gathering data from multiple dimensions including behavioral, physiological, and psycho-physiological areas, VR assessments yield a deeper understanding of one’s abilities. Upgrade your evaluation process with VR assessments for a more accurate and comprehensive understanding.
Holistic Approach
Neo Auvra’s vision of brain health embraces a holistic approach where cognitive health, mental well-being, and physical fitness all converge for the optimum state of health of an individual. Integrating this ‘holistic health’ approach in our practice, we design and develop assessment batteries built for analyzing the reactions and behaviors of an individual in an immersive virtual reality environment, measuring cognitive, emotional, and physical competencies. Utilizing wearable and immersive technologies, along with our sophisticated algorithms, we are able to generate extensive, personalized reports that showcase an individual’s standing cognitive, socio-emotional, and physio-physical areas. Conventional assessments only focus on cognitive aspects and ignore other areas that impact behavior and health. Neo Auvra’s holistic vision will pave the way for a new understanding of health and performance.
Wearable Technologies
VR-based scenarios involve the use of various fixed or wearable sensors and camera-based “markerless” motion analysis technology to detect hand-arm gestures and body movements. Furthermore, an EEG (Electroencephalogram) device measures brain waves and electrical activity in the brain. A pupilometer device integrated into the VR headset measures all eye movements; including eye tracking, fixations, blinks, and pupil size. An HR (Heart Rate) sensor measures heart rate and variability, while a GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) sensor measures phasic and tonic electrodermal activity on the skin. Signals collected from HR and GSR sensors provide comprehensive data on the autonomic nervous system while the combination of behavioral responses, gestures, kinematic reactions (such as speed and accelerations), EEG-measured brain waves, and eye tracking movements captures tens of thousands of data points related to the central nervous system. The platform’s underlying IT infrastructure also integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing technologies.
Immersive & Hyper-Realistic
By nature, virtual reality immerses one into a new realm. The use of immersive 3D-environments creates a sense of physical presence within an artificial environment, yielding an experience that results in a more natural human response. The sense of immersion and presence accurately indicates real-world behavior, ultimately arriving at more accurate data.
Ecological Validity
By simulating real-world settings and situations in VR, these assessment batteries create a sense of physical presence within a digital environment, creating an experience that results in a more natural human response. Our virtual reality technology is designed to elicit genuine emotions and behaviors by activating the same neural pathways as real-life experiences, enabling seamless interaction with the user’s surroundings. Compared to conventional 2D NPT tests, this quality of ‘Ecological Validity’ yields more accurate data, because participants behave as they would in a real-world environment.

Specialized & Personalized Approach
The above-mentioned biometric/biological data that is collected via wearables and sensors is processed with the behavioral data collected from VR, to ultimately generate an extensive report that shows an individuals’ performance in given areas. The extent of analysis within the reports are subject to change depending on industry and client needs. That being said, core working principles of the brain and body are configured for each target industry, in order to properly contextualize how cognitive and physical performance manifests in professional and daily lives of humans. This specialized approach is particularly important because conventional NPT assessments are one-size-fits-all; with the same content and approach applied to a very large population.
“I am very excited to serve as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board at Neo Auvra. The systems developed by Neo Auvra will be crucial in supporting and facilitating the advancement of the next generation of healthcare products. The impact will be significant – Neo Auvra’s precision measurements of cognitive and emotional function will be utilized by the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate the design, development, and validation of prescription pharmaceutical treatments for various clinical conditions.
Similarly, the objective measurement of functional movement and psychomotor skills will facilitate the development of improved medical devices and therapeutic protocols for treating neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy. Neo Auvra’s objective measurements will also be used to improve physical rehabilitation after Injury or surgery and to improve motor skills, coordination, balance, and cognitive abilities to enhance performance in daily tasks.
Additionally, Neo Auvra systems will provide the insights and data necessary for advancing and refining clinical care paradigms to match an individual’s exact status and determine an optimal treatment plan.
Neo Auvra’s objective measurements of cognitive and emotional function play a pivotal role in understanding and assessing an individual’s overall well-being and mental health. Using sophisticated assessments to generate empirical data, Neo Auvra’s reports provide a quantitative and impartial assessment of an individual’s cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. This enables healthcare professionals to detect early signs of cognitive decline, identify potential neurocognitive disorders, and design tailored interventions to improve cognitive functioning. Similarly, objective measurements of emotional function allow for a more accurate evaluation of an individual’s emotional state, such as levels of anxiety, depression, or stress.
These measurements aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and tracking therapeutic progress, helping healthcare providers offer personalized and evidence-based interventions. By incorporating objective measurements, we can foster a more comprehensive and reliable understanding of cognitive and emotional well-being, leading to improved outcomes in clinical healthcare.”
“Neo Auvra is impressive. They possess all the ingredients for success when it comes to comprehensive human performance assessment and prediction in the Extended Reality (XR) world. Many times people lose sight of the fact that the core properties that make up high quality XR systems, comes down to the basic elements of simulation technology. One could say that just as an aircraft simulator serves to test and train piloting ability under a range of systematically controllable stimulus conditions, advanced XR technology can similarly provide precise ways to test, train, teach, and treat all manner of human functioning, at any entry skill level. Neo Auvra is simulation technology on steroids! Not only do they have a rich history coming out the aviation simulation world where mission critical performance is not just hoped for, but demanded, they have a team in place that understands how to motivate, capture, and quantify human performance on complex cognitive and emotional levels. The integration of these domains with physical/ergonomic skills provides a 360 view of human performance functioning that opens a window into capability assessment that is unparalleled by other methodologies or commercial entities.”
