Company mission
To empower every human to live a longer independent life by providing assistive robotics and rehabilitative technologies.
Our take
As healthcare services dive deeper into the potential of software and tech to remedy age-old conditions, new innovations are being discovered at an increasing rate. Bioliberty is one such innovation, a technology start-up that has built a robotic glove that can restore upper limb mobility.
Developed predominantly for patients who have had strokes and have lost mobility in their hands, the hardware is paired with a digital therapy platform that provides the patient with custom exercises to restrengthen the muscles in their hand. The glove itself can be used by both occupational therapists and by patients at home, making it a flexible and powerful tool for quality of life improvement in stroke survivors.
The Edinburgh-based startup has enjoyed more than £3 million in funding to develop its trial product and platform. Once the product is finalised, the company plans to obtain FDA approval so that it can begin operations in the USA.
