Toward a world where everyone can perform as they wish and achieve the performance they desire
At INOMER Co., Ltd., we are developing a wearable robot that can not only assist with force, but also assist with technique, by leveraging the knowledge of our engineers who have been involved in the development of assist suits for many years. We are proceeding. As our first project, we are conducting research and development on Proto-H, a prototype of a wearable robot for walking rehabilitation for people with hemiplegia due to stroke. By “assisting with force and technique,” we aim to reduce the burden on physical therapists and stabilize and improve the effectiveness of “gait rehabilitation.”

[Business Overview] We aim to create a world where anyone can perform at their desired level by complementing and expanding human physical abilities through the use of wearable robots to assist with strength and technique. Developed and sold a wearable robot for “gait rehabilitation” for hemiplegiacs.
* ■Investment background *
While the number of people with hemiplegia due to stroke is increasing year by year, given the current shortage of human resources, it is necessary to utilize robotics technology in the rehabilitation and nursing care fields to provide effective and efficient assistance and support. I think I need to go. We decided to invest in the company’s product because it has a concept different from conventional assist suits, and it not only reduces the burden on medical workers, but also helps people with hemiplegia due to stroke recover better.
In the future, LUV will do its best to support you as you aim for further business development.
