VHAB is a digital assistive solution developed by TCS to improve the physiotherapy regimen for children with locomotor disabilities due to cerebral palsy or autism.

In 2019, TCS and Barclays launched the solution at ZEP Rehabilitation Centre in Pune.

VHAB is also being used by over 500 students across three schools for children with special needs. The results have been promising with children displaying increased attention and concentration and acquiring essential life skills.
