Affordable exoskeletons for effective rehabilitation
Traction
We have significant momentum moving into our next phase with connections to the University of Texas guiding our design and prototyping for our next iteration
Facility Centered
Our customers are clinical facilities with a facility-centered device versus an at-home product allows us greater flexibility with our designs. an on-site operator ensures safe usage and helps with providing effective treatment.
An Expanding Market
The exoskeleton market is expected to increase in revenue from $529 million in 2022 to $3.9 billion by 2030.
Our Mission
Applying our expertise and passion to create affordable exoskeletons to broaden the accessibility for robotic rehabilitation.
Our Customers
What Do Customers Want?
Speaking with exoskeleton companies, which specialize in robotic-based rehabilitation and work directly with clinical facilities, we discovered that device cost and operational difficulties hinder the widespread adoption of exoskeletons into the clinical space
What Issues Do Users Face?
Speaking with users of rehabilitative exoskeletons we realized due to the high cost of modern exoskeletons many patients who receive treatment are hit with high costs to support the clinical facilities using these devices
Given only qualitative data from users, health insurance companies usually aren’t convinced that such an expensive treatment is necessary and regularly cancel/revoke coverage for continued treatment.
What Makes Us
Within the four months of our senior design course we conceptualized, designed, manufactured, and delivered a fully custom operational knee exoskeleton
Redefining Rehabilitation
Our exoskeleton’s production cost is far below what is on the market and its intuitive design and lack of complexity allow for a more scalable product
Fully Custom
With a fully custom design, we took a ground-up approach, giving us the freedom to innovate as much as possible
Data Collection
Our data collection pipeline provides an array of quantitative data used to evaluate user performance and progress providing an extra layer of verification for health insurance companies to continue covering treatment
