Meet Immergo Labs: a company which uses artificial intelligence and virtual reality to incorporate telehealth capabilities and enhance remote physical therapy care. Cofounded by three Baskin Engineering alumni — Aviv Elor (B.S., Robotics Engineering, ‘19; Ph.D., Computational Media, ‘21), Michael Powell (Ph.D., Computer Engineering, ‘21), and Ash Robbins (B.S., Robotics Engineering, ‘18; Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, ‘24’) — Immergo was just awarded a large National Science Foundation grant to expand the research and development of an extended reality platform for full-body physical rehabilitation. Inspired by a multi-year research effort at UCSC, Immergo Labs reflects Baskin Engineering’s focus on developing technology with positive social impact. “This funding will enable us to greatly advance our research and development efforts by directly co-designing with clinicians and patients, extending our platform for full-body assessment, and beyond,” said Elor.
