CAREN is a versatile, multi sensory system for diagnostic, rehabilitation, evaluation and registration of the human balance system. The system works in real-time and enables the creation of a variety of experiments in a controlled and repeatable environment by using different virtual reality principals. CAREN enables researchers to analyze balance behavior, latency, response times and the relations between different sensory inputs that affect human decision protocols, human balance, posture and locomotion behaviors.

D-Flow is the name given to the CAREN software
A software platform, which controls, synchronize and registers
real-time / predictive Input / Output streaming data.  D-flow provides predictive-feedback-loop functionality that encompasses multi-sensory I/O, The paradigm of “person in a loop” is taking on a new meaning.

Using D-flow one can investigate the body schema across different functional movement competencies
, including their hierarchical organization, in applications such as balance diagnostics and rehabilitation, Gait and locomotion enhancement and treatment , multi-sensory, multi tasking neurologically challenging environments and control for balance response strategies. This serves to develop a better understanding of body schemas, how they are used, as well as their role in facilitating motion and strategy in patients.
