SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) (the “Company”), an industry leader in exoskeleton technology for medical and industrial use, today announced the launch of GaitCoach™, its next generation gait therapy software for EksoNR.
GaitCoach is a comprehensive gait therapy software that supports a broad spectrum of patients who use EksoNR. This new software simplifies the use of robotics with the intention of improving user trust in technology, providing impactful, dynamic feedback and offering specific guidance acting as an extra set of clinical eyes. Ekso believes GaitCoach will reduce training demands and increase utilization, making the device more intuitive and easier to use for both patients and physical therapists.

“By listening to the feedback of physical therapists, clinicians and patients, Ekso Bionics has elevated EksoNR with GaitCoach, a new software solution designed to further improve patient rehabilitation,” said Scott Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Ekso Bionics. “GaitCoach helps customize patient sessions to be better aligned with their deficits and goals, allowing therapists to treat patients more efficiently. We are proud of the work and commitment of our engineering and clinical teams, who communicated regularly with frequent users of EksoNR in the design process.”
