nir-vana innovation network

The Russian company from Nizhny Novgorod is engaged in the production of equipment for medical rehabilitation. Over the years, the company has become one of the leaders in Russia in the production of innovative solutions in the field of patient rehabilitation. The company employs both young talented development engineers and people with extensive experience in machine and instrument engineering. Its own production facilities allow the company to control all stages of production and quickly make design changes, guided by feedback from potential customers.

The Russian company offers a developed rehabilitation glove, which is a biofeedback simulator that helps restore fine motor skills and coordination of movements. This simulator is used in the rehabilitation of patients with brain and spinal cord injuries, in the restoration of hand motor skills after operations and injuries. The rehabilitation glove is effective for the rehabilitation of patients after stroke, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, and after various hand injuries. The rehabilitation glove software can be downloaded from the cloud and installed on any computer. The glove has a European quality certificate and CE marking.

The principle of operation of this glove consists in several stages. At the first stage, the patient is diagnosed. The volume of passive and active movements of the fingers, wrist and forearm is studied. The final results of the study are saved and the program analyzes this information and identifies the patient's capabilities. The next stage includes the rehabilitation of the patient. Based on the obtained data, exercises of different complexity are offered. The complex uses visual feedback: the entire process is reflected on the monitor in real time, so the patient can monitor the correctness of the tasks. At the same time, the doctor receives objective and accurate information about all the actions of the patient in real time. And the final stage of control, thanks to which information about the rehabilitation process is stored in the program, so the doctor can use it to monitor the treatment and, if necessary, quickly make adjustments to it. The possibility of remote interaction with a specialist of a medical institution is provided. In this case, the program saves the information to the statistics server, which can be used by the doctor at any time.

The glove package includes a glove and software installed on a PC. On the back of the hand, forearm and distal phalanges of the fingers, there are position sensors in space that record movements and transmit information about them to the program. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, and the settings are very precise: doctors can turn on and off different fingers; choose games that form strictly defined motor patterns; adjust the difficulty of completing tasks.

The Russian company is looking for foreign partners from the medical field to conclude distribution services or commercial agency agreements. In accordance with the distribution services agreement, the Russian company will supply the rehabilitation glove to the partner for its further distribution on the international market.
As a result of the commercial agency agreement, the company is interested in working with agents and wholesalers who are looking to increase their portfolio of medical rehabilitation products.
