Growing up, Jonathan Truong ’18 was a very avid tennis player, a decent break dancer and he loved to rock climb, but he was injury prone.
“To date I’ve had five different surgeries, one of which was my ankle. My ankle should have taken eight months to heal, but it ended up taking two years because I didn’t do my therapy,” said Truong, an entrepreneurship major from Texas. “When I felt ok, I went back to playing tennis and reinjured myself through the course of those two years. My regret of not doing my therapy is something I want to help other people avoid.”In his company, Verapy, Truong is using virtual reality to create games for rehabilitation.
