What Virtualis does

Virtualis SAS, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Montpellier, France, develops therapeutic virtual reality medical devices for the assessment and rehabilitation of balance, vestibular, and mobility disorders. Its product portfolio comprises four integrated solutions: PhysioVR (physical therapy and functional rehabilitation), BalanceVR (vestibular and balance disorders including PPPD and DVA), StaticVR (static force plate for objective postural analysis), and MotionVR (described as the world's first 360-degree dynamic force plate with Computerized Dynamic Posturography). All products are CE Class I, FDA, and ISO 13485 certified medical devices, and a new hybrid VR headset was launched in 2026. As of the latest data, 900+ clinics have been equipped and 1 million patients treated across 38 countries.

The company monetizes through three streams: hardware sales of VR headsets and force plates (StaticVR, MotionVR), recurring software licenses and subscriptions for PhysioVR and BalanceVR, and professional services revenue via Virtualis Academy training, certification, and Virtualis Days events. Customer concentration is in physical therapists as the primary segment, with secondary reach into balance/vestibular specialists, neurologists, occupational therapists, orthoptists, and sports medicine professionals — predominantly long-tail individual practitioners and small clinics rather than large hospital systems.

Commercial reach is structurally anchored by its parent Interacoustics, whose worldwide distribution network handles all non-French markets, while Virtualis manages direct sales in France. The GTM motion combines direct enterprise field sales with channel-partner distribution, supported by content marketing, bimonthly webinars, practitioner testimonials, and a €350 referral program. Leadership is concentrated around founder/CEO Franck Assaban, with no disclosed external institutional investment rounds; the company operates as a founder-controlled subsidiary within the Interacoustics group.

Core offering

Virtualis develops and sells therapeutic Virtual Reality (VR) medical devices for rehabilitation. Its product line combines VR headsets with proprietary rehabilitation software platforms (PhysioVR, BalanceVR) and force-plate hardware (StaticVR, MotionVR) to deliver balance, vestibular, and physical-therapy treatments in clinical settings. The company also offers Virtualis Academy, a structured training and certification program for clinicians.

Product overview

Virtualis offers a portfolio of therapeutic VR medical devices consisting of four integrated solutions: PhysioVR (physical therapy rehabilitation), BalanceVR (balance/vestibular disorders), StaticVR (static force plates), and MotionVR (dynamic force plates with computerized dynamic posturography). The solutions are designed to work both standalone with VR headsets and in combination with force plates for comprehensive balance assessment and rehabilitation. The platform targets healthcare professionals including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physicians, and is marketed as capable of addressing over 80% of patient pathologies through a single tool.

Direct peers

• XRHealth: XRHealth offers a VR-based telehealth platform for physical, cognitive, and occupational rehabilitation, sold to clinics and patients. It directly competes with Virtualis in therapeutic VR for rehabilitation, with overlapping customer personas (PTs, OTs, neurologists) and a similar hardware-plus-software delivery model.
• Penumbra (REAL Immersive System): Penumbra's REAL System is a clinically validated VR rehabilitation platform used by physical and occupational therapists for upper-extremity recovery. It competes head-to-head with Virtualis in the therapeutic-VR-for-rehab category, particularly in US hospital and clinic settings.
• Neuro Rehab VR: Neuro Rehab VR provides VR-based neurorehabilitation software for physical and occupational therapy clinics. It targets overlapping clinical customers (PTs, OTs, neurologists) with gamified VR exercises, similar in scope to Virtualis' PhysioVR.
• KineQuantum: KineQuantum is a France-based therapeutic VR platform built for physiotherapists and rehabilitation clinics. As a fellow French therapeutic-VR vendor, it competes most directly with Virtualis in its home market and across French-speaking geographies.

Broad incumbents

• MindMaze: MindMaze is a well-funded digital neurotherapeutics company offering VR-based assessment and rehabilitation for neurological conditions. It overlaps with Virtualis on neurological and balance/vestibular use cases but operates at significantly larger scale with broader indication coverage.
• Biodex Medical Systems: Biodex manufactures balance-assessment and rehabilitation equipment, including force plates and dynamic posturography systems used in physical therapy clinics. It overlaps with Virtualis' StaticVR and MotionVR hardware categories as an established rehab-equipment incumbent.
• SWORD Health: SWORD Health is a digital MSK and pelvic-health therapy platform combining clinician-led care with digital tools. While not VR-based, it competes with Virtualis for physical-therapy clinic and employer budgets addressing musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
• Hinge Health: Hinge Health is a leading digital musculoskeletal-care platform serving employers and health plans with virtual PT and wearable-guided exercise programs. It addresses the same end-condition (MSK rehab) as Virtualis but through a non-VR, software-and-coaching model.

Emerging players

• Saebo: Saebo specializes in upper-extremity stroke and neurological rehabilitation devices sold to OTs and PTs. It targets a subset of Virtualis' customer base (neurological rehab) with non-VR hardware, representing an adjacent rehabilitation modality.
• LiteGait (Mobility Research): LiteGait/Mobility Research manufactures gait and balance training equipment used by physical therapists for rehabilitation. It overlaps with Virtualis on rehab-hardware sold to PT clinics, though without the VR-software layer.
