Genious Healthcare joins the ranks of the Swiss pioneer MindMaze

In 2019, Genious Healthcare joined MindMaze a Swiss company specialized in neuro-technologies and virtual reality.

“We continue to make progress developing digital medical equipment in the form of therapeutic video games and are becoming the development center for the entire group,” proudly says Pierre Foulon, managing director of Genious Healthcare, now MindMaze France.

The Montpellier company was the e-health division of Genious, a group specialized in information systems, e-learning, and web apps. Since 2010, it has been developing therapeutic video games that have been validated clinically, such as X-Torp for Alzheimer patient therapy, Voracy Fish for stroke victims, and Toap Run, which addresses walking and balance problems in Parkinson patients.

“Our video games are available via the curapy.com platform, to the benefit of 4,500 patients and 1,200 health professionals,” says the managing director. Notably, results are excellent with Alzheimer's patients.

Genious Healthcare dedicates 75% of its time to research. Its work was chosen by the Institute for Brain and Spinal Cord at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. The company has been building a close relationship within the BRAIN e-NOVATION joint health laboratory since 2014. In 2014, Genious Healthcare was one of the winners of the “Worldwide Innovation Competition 2030” and in 2016 was awarded the Hospital-University Research call-for-projects.
