Bioliberty’s Wearable Stroke Device Receives a £435k Grant

A £435,000 grant has been given to an Edinburgh-based company operating out of the National Robotarium to expedite the release of its robotic wearable device, which is designed to help stroke sufferers. 

Innovate UK has granted funding to Bioliberty for the purpose of advancing the AI and data gathering features within their specialized glove.  

The robotic glove was innovatively designed to aid individuals with hand movement, which often deteriorates after suffering from a stroke. It accomplishes this by personalizing physical therapy exercises based on the patients’ needs. 

At the beginning of the coming year, Bioliberty plans to begin recruitment for their medical studies based in the US. 

Bioliberty’s co-director, Conan Bradley, commented, “With this newfound funding, we’re poised to accelerate trials and expedite our market launch. But we’re not stopping at the U.S.; the UK beckons, with a significant demand for innovative rehabilitation solutions amidst the latest NICE guidelines.” 

Bradley went on to say, “Having access to the National Robotarium’s state-of-the-art office and lab facilities, including its ecosystem of collaborators, industry experts and academic teams, has been vital in helping us to develop our product.”
