Scott Kim is the Co-Founder and CEO at Neofect. Neofect provides technologies that work to provide stroke victims with rehabilitation devices that can increase their range of motion. These devices include smart gloves and ankle braces. In this episode, Scott Kim discusses how Neofect technology is assisting stroke victims.
Top three takeaways:
The user receives a smart-glove and a tablet with the Neofect App. Each therapeutic session consists of eight different “training games” that allow users to regain mobility lost from a stroke injury. This technology allows users to achieve rehabilitation results from their own homes.
