About Equity Lab Global
Although chronic pain affects an estimated 70 million Americans, it is a tragically overlooked public health problem. The documented burden of chronic pain is greater than that of diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. VR acts as a non-pharmacologic form of analgesia by exerting an array of emotional affective, emotion-based cognitive and attentional processes on the body’s intricate pain modulation system.
Our interdisciplinary team is on a mission to build a metaverse specifically dedicated to older adults’ need for pain management and socialization.
Our VR solutions have been tested with a little over 1,100 senior citizens over a period of 14 months in the Miami-Dade area in a number of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and community-based senior centers with a satisfaction rate of 95%. In cosmopolitan Miami-Dade, we have brought the program with success to a diverse set of communities: Latino-Americans, African-Americans, Haitian-Americans, Asian-Americans. It is heartwarming to see that in spite of cultural differences, seniors across the board have expressed very similar wishes to see the wonders of the world: our dreams are more alike than they are different.
