Mighty Immersion needed real infrastructure fast. Their VR for pain management platform was already live in pediatric wards across the US; the problem was the operational layer behind it.

Mighty Immersion, Inc. – the legal entity behind what is today ManageXR – came to LITSLINK with a narrow but urgent brief: build the operational infrastructure for a rapidly expanding fleet of VR headsets deployed across US pediatric hospitals.
The company had real clinical traction, a proven immersive healthcare experience that hospital staff trusted, and a founder who knew exactly what was missing. What they lacked was the software layer to manage it all at scale. That’s where we came in.

Mighty Immersion was founded in 2017 alongside the Stanford CHARIOT Program with a clear clinical mission: deploy virtual reality for pain relief in pediatric care settings. By the time they contacted LITSLINK, 1,300 headsets were live across more than 200 children’s hospitals – actively used during IV placements, injections, wound care procedures, and pre-procedure VR for anxiety treatment. It worked. Staff trusted it. Hospitals wanted more of it.
The bottleneck wasn’t clinical adoption. It was operations. The virtual reality for pain management programme was working but going from a handful of units to fifty-plus required a centralized system to monitor device status, push content updates, and onboard new hospital partners. None of which existed yet.
Every week without it meant delayed deployments and manual overhead that the team simply couldn’t sustain.
Centralized device visibility
Tracking the status of 1,300 headsets across 200+ hospitals depended on manual checks and disconnected workflows. There was no centralized way to see which devices were active, outdated, or needed attention.
Content updates didn’t scale
As the network expanded, delivering new VR content and software updates became increasingly difficult. Without a unified distribution system, keeping every hospital aligned was slow, inconsistent, and labor-intensive.
Manual partner onboarding
Adding new hospital partners required repetitive setup, coordination, and support from the internal team. Without a standardized onboarding process, each expansion created delays and operational strain.

To help Mighty Immersion scale without adding technical overhead, LITSLINK chose Firebase as the backend foundation. That removed the need for custom APIs and server management, allowing the team to focus on building a practical product from day one.
The result was a web-based VR healthcare management portal designed for clinical coordinators, not technical teams. Staff could monitor devices, manage content, and onboard new hardware quickly — without lengthy training, IT support, or complex workflows.
Built on a scalable Firebase architecture, the solution was ready to support the initial rollout and grow far beyond the first 50-unit deployment.
rack the live status of all deployed VR headsets from one centralized view.
Push VR experiences to individual devices, departments, or entire hospital wards.
Add and configure new headsets in minutes instead of relying on manual setup.
A simple, staff-friendly portal built for VR patient experience workflows, not technical teams.
-Scrum Methodology
|
We ran the build on an agile sprint cycle: short feedback loops with the client, working software at every demo.
Healthcare software development doesn’t benefit from big-bang releases. Scrum’s sprint cadence meant the client saw working software regularly and could give feedback before decisions became expensive to reverse.

The operational challenge of managing VR for patients at scale turned out to be a market-wide problem, not just theirs. The company rebranded as ManageXR, and today it is the leading XR device management platform globally – trusted by Johnson & Johnson, Bosch, and thousands of organizations in healthcare, enterprise, and education. The Firebase portal LITSLINK built was part of the chapter that proved the concept.
The hospital VR solution market continues to grow rapidly. If you’re building in this space – a VR system for healthcare, a patient engagement platform, or clinical tooling of any kind – this is what it looks like when you get the infrastructure right from the start.
