An immersive cardiac rehabilitation and fitness experience by Plas.md, Inc.
Bionautica Trails is a biometrically driven, interactive experience designed to engage cardiac rehabilitation patients during treatment via a combination of immersive game-mechanics, cardiac-focused instructional elements, stunning visuals, and compelling narrative.
Designed to be used during the treadmill portion of the therapy, Bionautica Trails enables patients to explore the fictional Whister National Park, where they can complete challenges, unlock secrets and uncover the tantalizing history of locations within the park. By parceling out the story and discovery of secrets over multiple sessions, Bionautica Trails encourages patients to complete the full course of their assigned treatment.
Bionautica Trails contains seven unique courses including five woodland trails, a stand-up paddleboarding experience and a fantasy course that allows patients and users to walk or run among the stars.

The Soothing Sea: A Virtual Coastal Walk Can Reduce Experienced and Recollected Pain. Karin Tanja-Dijkstra, Sabine Pahl, Mathew P. White, Melissa Auvray, Robert J. Stone, Jackie Andrade, Jon May, Ian Mills, David R. Moles. Environment and Behavior First published date: June-14-2017
Each year, over two million Americans undergo a coronary event or revascularization procedure, and millions more have a chronic cardiac condition for which Cardiac Rehabilitation is recommended. Participation in Cardiac Rehabilitation results in a significant reduction in hospital readmissions and cardiovascular deaths.
Despite these clear benefits, Cardiac Rehabilitation is severely underutilized. Less than 20% of eligible patients will participate in Cardiac Rehabilitation and of those who do participate, only a fraction will complete their entire course of rehabilitation.
