Company profile:

ReHaptix GmbH is a spin-off from the ETH Zurich developing a software application providing an objective evaluation of upper limb disabilities for patients suffering from a neurological disorder. The company won the Venture Kick competition, Venture Leaders 2013 and the Top 10 ideas from Venture.ch.

Products and services:

ReHaptix is developing an app, which comprises a series of tests to objectively evaluate upper limb motor function in patients with arm disabilities. Patients can perform the tests autonomously at home on a tablet without having to wait for their next medical appointment. The performances are displayed on the screen directly after the execution of the test and allow monitoring the evolution of arm motor performances, which empowers patients about their recovery. Furthermore, patients can remotely share their results with their healthcare professional, which can adapt the treatment and medication. Healthcare professionals can also use the app to evaluate their patients in the hospital, rehabilitation clinic or private practice. It provides them objective results and automatizes data collection, which is more efficient than manual data collection as it is performed nowadays.
