Hopebotics: Lightweight Wearable Robotics for Stroke Rehabilitation in Community Wellness

Introduction:

RT HealthTech develops customizable, lightweight, wearable robotics for elderly stroke survivors. The AI-powered artificial muscles and adaptive algorithms overcome the limitations of bulky, costly exoskeletons, enabling more effective rehabilitation. Clinically validated and internationally awarded, the technology is being tested in collaboration with NGOs. 

 

Milestone:

2024-05-15 -Upper/Lower Limb Artificial Muscle Prototype Ready

In progress: Developing lightweight artificial muscle prototypes for upper and lower limbs.

Target: Validate performance through lab tests to meet assistance force, speed, and safety standards.

 

Goal: Successfully test on stroke subjects and demonstrate effective assistance for their affected limbs.

2024-10-31 -Conduct Clinical Trials in Rehabilitation Centers and NGOs

Recruit 20 stroke patients and distribute 20 robotic suits – Each undergoes 10 rehab sessions with professional assessments.

 


Collect 40 assessment forms – Measure improvements with pre-and post-training evaluations.


Document results – Capture user feedback and create an endorsement video for future adoption.
