Nova. Personal stroke rehabilitation by ABB


15.000.000 strokes occur worldwide each year. Roughly 50% of the patients suffer from Hemiplegia, a condition that inhibits you from using one side of your body. Typically, one of the first things you need to do is to relearn walking. Unfortunately, intensive rehab often stops too early.


Meet Nova, your new home rehab guide that will help you to relearn a healthy gait throughout the day. Integrated sensors measure your movements and will vibrate once you put your body weight on your strong side for too long. Contracting cables at the inside of your joints indicate how to walk correctly. With the App, you don’t have to wait for the big improvements to become visible though: It provides immediate feedback, sends you reminders and guides you through your daily set of exercises. This way, your brain gets enough stimulation for a successful recovery. The information will be directly communicated to your therapists and doctors. They can see in-depths information about your rehab process and adjust the treatment to your needs at any time.


Thanks for watching!
