Description
Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital enters the metaverse to create an additional source of donations in partnership with the Metaverse Advisory Group, a fully owned subsidiary of iMining Technologies, and the Manhattan DAO.
The Glenrose Foundation aims to raise funding for the Glenrose Hospital, so the Hospital can continue to develop innovative, technology-based solutions which provide individuals with disabilities live a better, more fulfilled lives.
Currently, the Hospital, among other initiatives, is working on developing a revolutionary technology, the Brain Computer Interface (“BCI”). This cutting-edge technology harnesses the power of imagination, allowing people with mobility and communication challenges a new way to interact with their environments. To help explain the complicated technology, the Glenrose Foundation produced a video featuring a young boy named Liam. The video demonstrates how BCI works and the impact it makes on the lives of kids like Liam.

The Glenrose foundation’s vision is to create a recurring stream of funding for the hospital, so they can continue to work on improving people’s lives. Given that the Glenrose Foundation has shown such great commitment towards Decentraland. We hope that the community will show support for this grant.
