Harmonic Bionics Announces Partnership with H Robotics to Bring Smart Tele-Rehab Solutions to Patients in the US Affected by Neurological and Musculoskeletal Movement Impairments

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic Bionics, Inc. announced today that they will be partnering with Korean-based H Robotics, Inc. to assist with the US distribution of rebless™, a smart rehabilitation device and recent recipient of a CES 2021 Innovation Award in the Health and Wellness category.

rebless™ is an FDA-registered robotic, exercise therapy device for both upper and lower limbs, providing motion to the elbow, wrist, ankle, and knee joints.  With multiple operating modes, rebless™ allows for passive, active, and active-assisted range of motion and exercise, so therapy can be customized based on each individual patient's condition and progress.

rebless™ is controlled through an app downloaded onto the patient's smart phone or mobile device.  Care providers will use the rebless™ Clinic software to prescribe exercise regimens, manage and export patient output, and perform telemedicine visits. 

"An aging population and increasing rates of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders could lead to a shortage in access to proper therapy for patients," said H Robotics CEO Dr. Ig-Mo Koo.  "We designed rebless™ to help facilitate teletherapy making it easier to receive care, while its programmability and automation helps deliver the precise repetitions needed for recovery."

"In a time when access to healthcare is a challenge, we are excited to help bring this unique product to the US market," said Harmonic Bionics CEO Christopher Prentice.  "We believe rebless™ meets the quadruple aim of healthcare by addressing outcomes, costs, the clinical experience, and the patient experience in a positive manner.  Home therapy assisted by telemedicine can increase access and compliance to needed therapy, leading to better outcomes.  rebless™ has the potential to advance the rehabilitation process and enhance the experience for patients and providers."
