Building technology that improves health.

Josh Sackman

About

My own experience with chronic pain shaped a conviction: technology, used well, can meaningfully improve our health and behavior change.

In 2014 I co-founded AppliedVR to act on it — building RelieVRx, the first FDA-authorized VR medical device for chronic lower back pain, from concept through regulatory clearance into the hands of thousands of patients.

More than a decade in immersive therapeutics taught me what it takes to move technology from novelty into legitimate medicine. Alongside building AppliedVR, I advise and serve on the boards of companies working at the intersection of technology and health.
