Therapy assisting systems for neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation. Prof. Dr. Stefan Hesse and his team developed pioneering electromechanical and robotic devices to assist therapists in helping patients in their rehabilitation after stroke or incomplete paraplegia. Devices like the Gait Trainer GT I or the arm trainer Reha-Slide as well as the Reha-Slide Duo have been the first devices on the market. The unique new overground gait training system The FLOAT, developed in close collaboration with the Balgrist in Zurich, as well as the updates Gait Trainer GTII complete the comprehensive offering of therapy assisting devices for lower extremities to help increase therapy intensity with practical and easy-to-use devices for therapists and patients.

SynSense is a leading-edge neuromorphic computing company. It provides dedicated mixed-signal/fully digital neuromorphic processors which overcome the limitations of legacy von Neumann computers to provide an unprecedented combination of ultra-low power consumption and low-latency performance. SynSense is founded in March 2017 based on advances in neuromorphic computing hardware developed at the Institute of Neuroinformatics of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich. SynSense is developing “full-stack” custom neuromorphic processors for a variety of artificial-intelligence (AI) edge-computing applications that require ultra-low-power and ultra-low-latency features, including autonomous robots, always-on co-processors for mobile and embedded devices, wearable health-care systems, security, IoT applications, and computing at the network edge.
