Augment Therapy CEO Speaks at the United Nations SDG Summit for Games for Change Event
At Augment Therapy, we are constantly driven by our mission to transform therapeutic exercise into engaging and accessible experiences. This commitment was powerfully represented when our CEO and co-founder, Lindsay Watson, was invited to speak at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit as part of the 2nd Annual Games for Change event on October 29th in New York City.
A Platform for Global Change
Games for Change is a renowned initiative that explores the intersection of gaming, technology, and impactful solutions for global challenges. This year’s event focused on how innovative technologies and gamified approaches can address the UN’s SDGs, including health, education, and sustainability. As the leader of Augment Therapy, Lindsay shared her insights on how augmented reality (AR) and immersive technologies are revolutionizing healthcare, making therapy more inclusive and engaging for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Aligning with the SDGs
The UN SDGs aim to promote well-being, reduce inequalities, and foster innovation—objectives that align seamlessly with Augment Therapy’s values of Empathy-Driven Innovation, Compassionate Collaboration, and Holistic Well-Being. Through our ARWell and ARWell PRO platforms, we provide gamified therapeutic solutions that bridge gaps in care and create meaningful change, particularly in underserved populations.
The Role of Technology in Transforming Health
In her talk, Lindsay highlighted how technology like Augment Therapy’s MOCAST™ combines computer vision and AR to redefine rehabilitation. By making therapy accessible and engaging, our solutions hold the potential to improve exercise adherence and health outcomes, especially for those who face barriers to traditional care.
Inspiring the Future of Healthcare
The Games for Change event served as a powerful reminder of the role technology plays in addressing global challenges. Augment Therapy is proud to be a part of this conversation, demonstrating how gamified experiences can be a force for good, not only in healthcare but in achieving a more equitable and sustainable world.
As we continue to innovate and expand our reach, we remain dedicated to harnessing the power of technology to create impactful, life-changing solutions. We look forward to furthering this mission and contributing to global initiatives like the UN’s SDGs.
