NEOFECT,
a medtech company that designs gamified rehabilitation solutions for
patients recovering from stroke and other neurological and
musculoskeletal conditions, took home five awards this summer for
innovation in healthcare technology.
NEOFECT’s RAPAEL
Smart Rehabilitation Solutions provide rehabilitation and training
through games. Using portable, lightweight equipment for continued home
training, solutions like Smart Glove for Home and Smart Pegboard make
rehabilitation more engaging and accessible for the 5 million people
recovering from stroke each year.
Recent awards include:
“Traditional rehabilitation methods for patients of stroke or other
neurological disorders are incredibly tedious, and many patients don’t
complete their exercises often enough to be effective,” Scott Kim,
Co-Founder and CEO of NEOFECT U.S.A. said. “At NEOFECT, we’re committed
to creating engaging, technology-based rehabilitation solutions that
encourage and motivate patients. Our solutions incorporate the latest
advancements in virtual reality and artificial intelligence, creating a
fun yet measurable way to train and objectively measure progress. These
awards and more importantly, feedback from patients prove that
game-based training is the future of rehabilitation, and they only fuel
our drive to continue to develop innovative, accessible rehab solutions
for patients worldwide.”
The international award recognition comes after numerous studies proved
the benefits of NEOFECT’s devices. Research published by Stanford in the Journal
of Neurology concluded patients using the Smart Glove for Home were
highly satisfied with the experience and kept up with the at-home
therapy sessions.
