My name is Asim, Global Product Marketing Lead for Peridot, and I’m excited to share some news about our Peridot franchise that I’m incredibly passionate about.
Virtual pets have long been a source of fun and entertainment. But what if they could help us recover from injuries and illnesses, too?
Today we’re announcing our partnership with Augment Therapy, a digital health company building accessible immersive exercise software for healthcare. Together, we aim to help people recover from injuries and illnesses faster by creating new Peridot-inspired experiences for physical rehabilitation use cases in pediatric and geriatric care. What makes this partnership truly exceptional is our shared vision: leveraging cutting-edge technology to encourage movement and promote well-being.
