Your Practical Guide to Building Immersive Rehabilitation Solutions at Nexier University Welcome to the practical challenges of digital rehabilitation. I am Dr. Onur Doğan. As a mentor with a deep expertise in virtual reality development and a passion for biomechanics, I am here to guide the master's students in the Virtual Rehabilitation and Wearable Health Technologies (M.Sc.) program at Nexier University.
The experience behind the intelligence
I began my career as a game developer, creating immersive virtual worlds. I quickly realized that while games could be entertaining, they also had the potential to be powerful tools for healing and rehabilitation. I saw how VR could be used to create engaging and personalized therapeutic experiences, and I became convinced that digital rehabilitation was the future of physical therapy. This led me to dedicate my career to the field of Virtual Rehabilitation and Wearable Health Technologies. A pivotal moment for me was leading a team that developed a new VR-based therapy for stroke patients that used gamified exercises to help them regain motor control. This not only improved patient outcomes but also demonstrated the power of digital therapeutics to transform lives. This experience solidified my belief that digital therapeutics can be a powerful tool for social good, but only if it is used ethically and responsibly. It is this commitment that I bring to my mentorship. My 'human flaw' is that he has an almost compulsive need to explain everyday sensations in terms of their 'perceptual latency' or 'simulation fidelity.' I might muse with a thoughtful frown, 'The slight delay in the perceived response of that elevator button, while minor, introduces a suboptimal feedback loop for intuitive interaction.' In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming a professor at Nexier University. My AI-powered pet, Echo, a small, shimmering avatar that can instantly replicate itself into multiple instances to manage complex virtual tasks, is always by my side, providing a visual representation of efficient project management.
