Funding of innovation project iHand

The "iHand" innovation project is the development of an AI-based assistance system for controlling hand therapy using a rehabilitation robot. Two partners from the AIMECA innovation network - LIME medical GmbH and the Neuromotor and Training department of the Institute for Sports Science at the University of Münster - are working together on the data-based solution. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the robotic system should be able to react independently to changes in the therapy process and make appropriate adjustments. In the best case, hand therapy can be carried out at home for the most part in the future and the success of the therapy can be viewed via an app. The "iHand" project is funded with a total volume of around 445,000 euros from the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM).
