Repairing neurological damage caused by stroke, Parkinson’s disease and other brain conditions isn’t all fun and games, but digital therapeutics developers like MindMaze are aiming to bring a bit of levity to what can otherwise be a difficult and stressful process. MindMaze’s platform comprises a series of video games that, when combined with a motion-tracking camera and customized to a patient’s individual condition and needs, can support both rehabilitation and restoration of brain function.

Several of the programs have already been cleared for use in the U.S. and Europe, and a new line of funding will now help make them even more widely available. The financing came courtesy of London-based AlbaCore Capital Group and totaled $125 million. That builds on MindMaze’s previous megaround, which raked in $100 million in early 2016 and was led by the U.K.’s Hinduja Group. With the addition of the new funding, MindMaze has now achieved the elusive unicorn status, with an estimated valuation of $1.5 billion, per Bloomberg.
