move your hand at home
Emovo builds a portable and lightweight hand orthosis that allows you to grasp and release simple objects at home.
It can help you if you have partially or completely lost the ability to move one hand due to neurological or orthopaedic injury,
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Our system provides a natural sensation of moving the hand, through novel artificial tendons that can both actively open and close the fingers.
INDEPENDENT WEAR
The device was specifically designed for independent use for persons with hemiparesis, and can be worn on and off using only one hand.
EASY TO USE
A simple push-button is used to control the desired range of motion, and detachable modular components enable ease of use and maintenance.
technology from world recognized university
The core technology behind the device is based on patent-protected artificial tendons developed during a Ph.D. at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland.
The results from this research was published in peer-reviewed journals, and the device gained worldwide media coverage for its innovative hardware and brain-controlled human-machine interface.
developed with swiss clinical excellence
The device has been co-developed with more than 150 clinicians and patients at Swiss clinics, such as our clinical partners Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV) and Hôpital du Valais.
