New patent sales agreement between BayPAT and Reactive Robotics
Jul 6, 2022
MedTech made in Munich
Munich, Germany, July 6th, 2022 – BayPAT, service provider offering services in the area of technology transfer, IP management and commercialization, today announced that it has entered into a patent purchase agreement with Reactive Robotics GmbH. The patented technology was developed at the Technical University of Munich in cooperation with the company and is relevant for the early mobilization of patients after acute neurological diseases.
According to studies, early mobilization of patients after a stroke or traumatic brain injury can contribute to an accelerated recovery process and to regaining independence. Difficulties in performing mobilization exercises include quick fatigue and carrying out unpredictable movements. Furthermore, early mobilization is associated with high physical effort and precious time for the nursing staff in the clinical routine.
This is where the product “VEMOTION” from Reactive Robotics GmbH comes in. VEMOTION supplements manual therapy with an adaptive robotic assistance system and supports nursing staff and therapists in mobilizing their patients. This product implements the above-mentioned invention to provide customized support to patients according to their progress and their own physical abilities. Therefore, the technology benefits both patients and caregivers. Many years of experience in the field of robotic applications in medical technology united in the team of inventors from the Technical University of Munich contributed significantly to the development of this technology.
BayPAT negotiated the patent purchase agreement with a selected team of experts and thus set the course for the successful transfer of the innovation into industrial applications. "This is another example of how the results of academic research projects can positively influence everyday life and the quality of life for everyone," said Dr. Robert Phelps, Managing Director of BayPAT.
