Virtuix (NASDAQ: VTIX) has SOLD its FIRST Omni One full-body VR treadmill systems to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The initial deployment is headed to the Valor Center at the Detroit VA Medical Center for EVALUATION across therapeutic applications and holistic health programs. Terms were NOT disclosed. This is a PILOT milestone — not a clinical-efficacy claim.
Per the September 15, 2026 company announcement (carried on GlobeNewswire and summarized by Benzinga via Webull), the Detroit install INTRODUCES Omni One into the nation’s LARGEST integrated healthcare system. That healthcare angle is DISTINCT from Virtuix’s recent Navy MWR recreation buy and Marine Corps IFVT training work covered earlier this week.
VA Immersive Already Runs VR at 145+ Sites
The VA is not new to headsets. Through its established VA Immersive program, the agency already DEPLOYS virtual reality and other immersive tools for PTSD, anxiety, pain MANAGEMENT, and occupational therapy. VA Immersive has expanded to more than 145 VA facilities, with a stated goal of reaching all interested VA healthcare systems. Omni One’s Detroit placement sits inside that broader immersive push — as an EVALUATION of full-body walking SIMULATION, not as a proven clinical protocol.
Founder, Chairman and CEO Jan Goetgeluk framed the FIRST VA SALE as an important milestone in Virtuix’s healthcare expansion. He said the VA has been a leader in adopting immersive technologies to improve care for Veterans, that the company is proud of the potential to HELP Veterans, and that beyond Detroit the VA healthcare system represents a MEANINGFUL long-term OPPORTUNITY for the platform — paraphrasing his remarks as carried in the Benzinga/Webull summary.
Academic Pilots Already Underway
The VA move follows academic installs already TESTING the same hardware for care-adjacent work. Florida Gulf Coast University’s Marieb College of Health & Human Services is EVALUATING Omni One for occupational therapy and neurological REHABILITATION. Rutgers University’s WINLAB has DEPLOYED Omni One for AI-assisted neurodivergent therapy, including autism applications for children. Those programs are EVALUATIONS, not FDA clearances or outcome claims.
Defense Context, Briefly
Separately, Virtuix continues defense-sector momentum — Navy MWR, Marine Corps IFVT, AFWERX Phase I funding for Virtual Terrain Walk, academy and base installs, and a Navy CRADA among recent items. That training story is already on this site; today’s NEWS is the FIRST documented SALE into VA healthcare.
What To Watch
Watch for whether Detroit’s Valor Center EVALUATION expands beyond a single site, whether VA Immersive publishes any Omni One protocol notes, and whether academic OT / neurodivergent pilots REPORT measurable outcomes. Until then, treat this as a PROCUREMENT and EVALUATION milestone for a full-body VR walking system entering the largest U.S. integrated healthcare network — terms UNDISCLOSED, efficacy UNPROVEN in this announcement.
