exoRehab: A.I.-Powered Wearable FES for Lower limb Rehabilitation
Product Introduction
'exoRehab' is a musculoskeletal healthcare solution that enables both face-to-face and non-face-to-face muscle recovery and strengthening, based on bio-signal measurement and technology of electrical stimulation through a wearable device worn on the leg.
HS Code: 9018. 90. 6000 Electro-surgical instruments and appliances, other than extracorporeal shock wave lithotripters; all the foregoing and parts and accessories thereof
Key Features
1. It is a medical device focused on the rehabilitation of patients with brain nervous system disease and won the Innovation Award in two categories at CES 2020.
2. exoRehab consists of a thigh band and a shin band as a set for both legs, and they contain major functions such as FES(Functional Electrical Stimulation), EMG(Electromyography) measurement technology, and bio-signal analysis technology. They also communicate with each other to collect bio-signals and perform electrical stimulation according to the user's motion and muscle condition.
3. With a smartphone, you can check the interaction and progress of individual rehabilitation and exercise performance through our own mobile application, as well as remotely check information such as muscle health status, exercise time, and exercise trend through individual monitoring. Based on this quantitatively collected data, you can monitor your own activity trends and manage your health.
4. It is particularly effective for patients who need rehabilitation due to muscle loss after orthopedic/neurosurgical surgery and for the elderly suffering sarcopenia. Even if it is difficult to go out due to COVID-19, it can be applied to a static posture or at-home workout, increasing the absolute exercise time to raise the effect of heathcare.
Competitiveness
Can target the gap in the current market of musculoskeletal healthcare for the elderly
1.'exoRehab' provides service that existing musculoskeletal rehabilitation products do not and direct therapeutic effects, and also offers benefits such as cost savings and increased treatment efficiency by solving both medical and general purposes.
2. Among foreign products, there is a functional electrical stimulation device such as MicroStim, which has been used in the rehabilitation field for a long time since the 1970s, but it has disadvantages in that it is expensive for individuals to buy, difficult for non-professionals to use, and has limited functions.
3. 'exoRehab' provides a more complex solution in function and efficacy compared to domestic/foreign top-level electrical stimulation devices and exercise therapy devices, and includes all the advantages of them.
4. This means that equivalent performance and therapeutic effects can be provided with a single innovative product, and also means the efficiency of manpower and cost spent intangibly while using conventional musculoskeletal rehabilitation equipment.
Target of Use
• Patients with chronic diseases who need musculoskeletal healthcare and rehabilitation of the lower limbs, patients who are rehabilitated after brain disease surgery
• Seniors over 50 who need musculoskeletal rehabilitation healthcare due to aging
• People with disabilities who need muscle maintenance and rehabilitation

How to Use
1. It is a musculoskeletal healthcare solution that helps people with sarcopenia caused by physical aging, physical paralysis due to stroke, and diseases such as muscle weakness.
2. Provides service that consists of rehabilitation exercises for lower limbs and neuromuscular electrical stimulation for patients, the elderly, and other users to use easily.
3. Enables the user's musculoskeletal rehabilitation healthcare, and provides information so that professional medical staff and health institutions can manage their users' information in an integrated way and use it as an index for efficient and effective rehabilitation healthcare when needed.
Company Overview
EXOSYSTEMS Inc. was established as a spin-off company of ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) in 2017 and the goal is to commercialize the A.I.-powered healthcare with our technology.
Our main focus fields are digital medical devices and digital therapeutics.
The digital medical device focus on saving time and money for those in need of post-neurotic surgery rehabilitation. Also, we focus our capabilities on developing technology and products that can be used comfortably and consistently for rehabilitation at home and can improve the health status of the elderly, whose physical functions naturally weaken due to aging.
Based on our own robotics and ICT technology capabilities, we are developing musculoskeletal healthcare products that can be used in daily life, which has led to the development of musculoskeletal healthcare solutions and services in line with the rehabilitation of brain disease patients and the approaching aging society, and has now been commercialized under the name of 'exoRehab'.
