Medical devices and robots for neurological rehabilitation at the service of human well-being
We believe in improving people’s quality of life by applying the innovation of robotics to medical therapy. We design and develop medical devices and robots for neurological rehabilitation with the aim of achieving important motor recovery goals for individuals who have been affected by a stroke, head injury or who have undergone surgery.
The medical devices and the new robotic technologies offer stimulating, interactive and motivating rehabilitation scenarios for patients, at the same time giving an objective measurement of performance to the rehabilitator, allowing a faster and more effective achievement and retention of the best possible functional levels.
Our “Research & Development” section conceives original solutions every day, wearable and innovative medical devices, to take further steps towards the personal autonomy of each individual.
We are Humanware, a spin-off company of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, made up of researchers and engineers with many years’ experience in the fields of Robotics, Mechatronics and of Virtual Reality.
Innovation underpins Humanware’s offer, the perfect nexus between research and the market, the academic world and business activities.
Motore, Ultra+, HumanGlove and Meka are only some of the medical devices that we have created throughout our history, assisting the patient and clinical staff in monitoring, functional assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation therapies for the person and for clinical staff. We also operate successfully in the Information Technology market with a constant growth thanks to continuous investments in know-how and to the seriousness and efficiency with which we support our customers.
Humanware: robotics at the service of human well-being.
