atTRACTION: Connecting Deep-Tech Innovation Ecosystems

Olympic Innovation for all the healthtech needs 💪Meet the members of Tech-Park Kaunas x atTRACTION: Connecting Deep-Tech Innovation Ecosystems deeptech community! The team is developing a technology that is changing professional sport and rehabilitation ➡️A startup Inosport, advised by Olympic vice-champion, heptathlete Austra Skujytė. The team has developed the devices called "Alex 7 run" and "Alex 7 rehab", which have the latest engineering in carbon fiber rehabilitation equipment and a sophisticated operating system. 👟 The "Alex 7 run" system is used in training. It has two modes of operation to train the athlete's strength-running with resistance, and speed-running with facilitation. "As a coach, it is important for me to have the athletes' running data so that I can track their progress, notice fatigue, and choose the right training program based on that. And it's also interesting for the athletes to track their training results, to compare them with their previous results and with those of their training mates", says Austra Skujytė. 🎯The "Alex 7" rehab multifunctional system is designed for rehabilitation, training, and progress monitoring when patients need to restore muscle strength parameters and range of motion after various injuries. 🎙️"The rehabilitation equipment enables the application of as many as 7 different work modes - such as isotonic, isokinetic, elative and others, the most important of which is the adaptive work mode, which allows accelerating the athlete's strengthening processes," says Dr. Valdas Grigaliunas, the head of the startup #Inosport. Rehabilitation therapists are currently testing the device in various post-traumatic recovery programs. ✅The startup team can also develop R&D solutions and innovations for you! "We are developers and implementers of mechatronic solutions. Our team also provides R&D services, automation, and prototyping services to companies. Let’s reach out on EuroQuity - Bpifrance platform", says Dr. Valdas Grigaliūnas.
