Davalor Salud

Davalor Salud was a Spanish health-technology and serious-games developer founded in 2011 in Navarra. It combined interactive software with specialized optical hardware to support clinical assessment and therapy for binocular and other visual disorders. Its work applied video-game design to optometry, replacing conventional static testing experiences with dynamic tasks that elicited measurable visual responses.

The company’s central product was EVA, the Eye and Vision Analyzer, an automated diagnostic workstation integrating stereoscopic displays, optical instruments and eye tracking. Patients played short, immersive 3D games while the system recorded visual performance. These experiences were designed to engage functions such as depth perception, accommodation, binocular coordination and gaze tracking, connecting gameplay directly to clinical measurement.

Games for visual assessment

Davalor developed themed interactive experiences spanning fantasy, exploration and science fiction. Their settings provided different ways to present visual tasks, from following characters and navigating environments to responding to objects and coordinating gaze. The games formed part of a wider hardware-and-software platform intended for use in professional optometric settings, rather than a conventional entertainment catalogue.

Its capabilities covered medical game design, vision-therapy software, diagnostic algorithms and the engineering of optometric workstations. The platform also incorporated centralized data processing to support automated diagnostic and therapeutic outputs. EVA reached applications with optometry chains, including Visionlab, as Davalor pursued commercialization of its approach to visual assessment.

Development and closure

The business brought together software engineering, optical research and hardware development. However, extended development timelines, hardware reliability problems, regulatory hurdles and substantial expenditure impeded timely mass commercialization. Davalor entered voluntary insolvency proceedings in July 2018. A court in Pamplona ordered its liquidation and dissolution on October 19, 2018, ending the company’s operations.
