Advancing Stroke Rehabilitation: Breakthrough Device Enhances Patient Recovery and Mobility
Customer Introduction
This small medical device startup had designed an early prototype for its first product, an FDA-compliant rehabilitation device for stroke patients. Acknowledging the need for expert skills in design, firmware, motion control, sensor technology, and medical device regulations, the company sought a partner equipped with these proficiencies to actualize its concept.
Problem/Goal
- Stroke victims require muscle exercise to encourage the brain to reconnect with the muscles.
The device will facilitate the exercise of the hand, wrist, and ankle to aid in the brain’s reconnection with these muscle groups.
- The device must detect various forms of motion, identify minimal movements, capture electrical signals indicating an intent to move when actual movement is not possible, and offer multiple training modes.
The team will design a rehabilitation device equipped with advanced sensor technology and firmware that can sense different levels of motion, decipher electrical signals in limbs, initiate wider or intended movements as necessary, and provide varied exercise modes to cater to different rehabilitation needs.
- The project requires expertise in electronic design, firmware, motion control, and sensor technology, outside the company’s scope of experience.
The company will find a partner with proficiency in designing electronics embedded with firmware and sensor technology.
- The startup needed a partner experienced in motion control and medical device design and development.
The startup will collaborate with a company with extensive experience in motion control systems and medical device design, ensuring the product is well-designed and compliant with FDA and healthcare standards.
