Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. and Switzerland-based YouRehab AG announced the continued collaboration and commercialization of “YouGrabber.”
The product is a key component of the YouRehab advanced suite of medical rehabilitation technology products.
According to Mr. Andreas Hochstetter, YouRehab CEO, “The range of sensors offered by Flexpoint allows us to fulfill the demanding requirements in rehabilitation. The sensors have to react immediately with high precision even to the smallest movements of severely affected patients. Motivation is key in rehabilitation and the sensors of Flexpoint close the loop between the patient’s activity and our motivating rehabilitation training.”
