Developed for VStim Inc.

The Opportunity

The VStim wristband is a wearable, non-invasive upper limb neurorehabilitation device that stimulates muscle-tendons through targeted vibration to reduce spasticity, improve proprioception, and improve upper limb function in patients with proprioception deficiency.

The device is designed to assist individuals who have experienced proprioception loss, commonly occurring following a stroke. During treatment, it aids in enhancing sensory feedback and improving limb awareness, thereby facilitating better movement control and coordination.

VStim is targeting a large addressable market as impairment of proprioception is estimated to occur in up to 50% of individuals with stroke, and the estimated number of total stroke cases in US and Canada is 900,000 per year.
