The Problem

Worldwide, an estimated 2.4 billion people require rehabilitation services according to the World Health Organization. In Africa, millions of individuals face disabilities due to stroke, injury, chronic disease, and neurological conditions—but access to quality rehabilitation remains severely limited. Clinics and trained professionals are scarce, especially in rural and post-conflict regions. Consequently, many patients experience prolonged or incomplete recovery, diminished independence, and decreased quality of life.

Traditional rehabilitation methods are labor-intensive, demanding significant effort from physiotherapists and often resulting in painful, time-consuming treatments for patients. This approach is not scalable and leaves many without adequate support.

The Solution

Our project provides two complementary innovations: connected rehabilitation devices and integrated software solutions.

These devices reduce the physical workload of physiotherapists, extend care to underserved communities, and empower patients with safe, personalized therapy that restores independence and dignity.

Project Team

Investors in the capital markets range from individual retail investors to large institutional investors, such as pension funds, mutual funds, and hedge funds. These investors are drawn to the capital markets by the potential for returns, whether through dividends, capital appreciation, or interest payments.

The Market

Aligned with this growth, the WHO’s Rehabilitation 2030 initiative emphasizes urgent action to expand rehabilitation services globally, integrate them into health systems, and ensure universal access.

The global rehabilitation robotics and connected devices market is growing rapidly. In 2024, the rehabilitation robots segment was valued at around USD 428 million and is projected to surpass USD 1 billion by 2030 (CAGR ~15%). The broader wearable medical devices market is expected to expand from USD 42.7 billion in 2024 to over USD 168 billion by 2030 (CAGR ~25%). These figures show accelerating adoption of connected rehabilitation and wearable solutions worldwide.
