The Competence Centre for Rehabilitation Engineering and Science (RESC) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) is working together with Auxivo. The medtech firm was founded in 2019 in the form of a spin-off from the RESC and is based in the Greater Zurich Area.
According to a press release, the wearable occupational exoskeletons such as the LiftSuit and CarrySuit developed by Auxivo are used in many different industries such as construction, logistics and agriculture. They are designed to reduce physical stress-related injuries and wear and tear.
For Auxivo co-founder and CEO Volker Bartenbach, the partnership with the RESC is a good fit due to the fact that the “goals and ideas of Auxivo are very well aligned with the RESC: From their premise that rehabilitation starts with prevention towards their strong commitment to educating about the potential of new technologies”.
These wearable support systems equipped with close-to-body sensors go “beyond preventive aspects” and “open many opportunities in rehabilitation medicine and long-term assistance”, explains Oliver Stoller, Executive Director of RESC, in the press release. “We are looking forward to explore and facilitate progress in rehabilitation together with our partner Auxivo”, he adds.
