Rehab Made FUN

Our Mission

Making rehabilitation for kids more accessible, engaging, and personalised.

Children with neurological disabilities often require more intensive physiotherapy than is currently available to them. Plia aims to support physiotherapy adherence in children by helping them achieve better outcomes through consistent, everyday progress. We know paediatric care is a team effort. We work hand-in-hand with children, parents, and allied health professionals to create tools that make therapy more effective.

What are we building?

Augmented Reality gamified exercises to boost movement

We’re designing a digital allied-health therapy platform that works with parents, children and therapists. Our goal is to encourage movement-based therapy through gamified, clinically-validated exercises where therapists can recommend and guide the right games for each child, both at-home and in the clinic.
