Four leaders in remote rehab have been shortlisted for an NR Times award.
The Remote Rehab Initiative of the Year award recognises the most outstanding examples of technology or revised ways of working which fully embrace remote rehab and the opportunities it brings.
The award is sponsored by Askham Rehab which is part of Askham Village Community, a family-run operation with more than 30 years’ experience of working in the sector, including a decade within the field of neurological rehabilitation.
Askham Rehab recognises excellence as something that goes beyond the norms of accepted practice and towards its pride in achieving a ‘best-in-class’ service.
The shortlisted entries will now go head-to-head, with the winner selected by the category judge.
Congratulations to all the shortlisted companies for their incredible new approached to neuro rehabilitation.
Remote Rehab Initiative of the Year Shortlist
Kandu Health provides remote, multidisciplinary support to stroke survivors and care partners after hospital discharge through a team of clinically licensed navigators and an easy-to-use app.
The IpsiHand System is a breakthrough therapeutic device and the only FDA-cleared, commercially available solution that enables non-invasive, at-home rehabilitation for stroke survivors affected by chronic motor deficits.
The alliance between Neurolutions and Kandu Health offers stroke survivors streamlined, expert clinical assessment for the IpsiHand System, reducing the barriers to accessing this life-changing technology.
The Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS) device is supporting people across the United States and Canada who live with MS to achieve life-changing improvements in their gait.
Combined with an exercise regime supervised by a therapist, the PoNS – which delivers stimulation via the tongue – has been adopted by medical centres and therapists across both countries.
But now, to help greater numbers of patients access the technology, the PoNS is being made available for the first time using telehealth.
Its creator, Helius Medical Technologies, has partnered with UpScript to enable patients to order the device online for delivery to their home – a move hailed as being of huge importance for people facing challenges with their mobility.
RAZ Mobility has partnered with Amicus Brain to introduce the first AI dementia care advisor to give reliable advice to caregivers.
The company is integrating a conversational AI tool, Amicus Brain’s Dementia Care AI Advisor, into its RAZ Care app, which is used to remotely manage all features of the RAZ Memory Cell Phone.
The award-winning RAZ Memory Cell Phone is designed to help individuals with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, vision loss, hand tremors, speech disabilities, and seniors who require a simple experience.
The phone makes it easy for seniors, and allows caregivers to control the phone from anywhere in the US or Canada through its remote manage feature and the RAZ Care app.
Now caregivers can use the app to ask a question about dementia and the AI Advisor is designed to provide a trusted answer.
