Digital healthcare solutions provider MC10 has entered a research collaboration with US-based rehabilitation research hospital Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to develop new treatments for neurodegenerative disease and motion disability.

The collaboration will see Shirley Ryan AbilityLab perform clinical research studies of MC10’s wearable sensor system BioStampRC to determine its use in clinical and home settings for enhanced rehabilitation process.

BioStampRC is developed to capture physiological data from across the body and features a flexible technology called BioStamp Sensor that easily adapts to the human body.

“We look forward to developing new therapies and solutions with BioStampRC sensors, furthering our goal of improving treatment and recovery, and of advancing human ability.”

The sensor can also be used during activities such as exercise and sleep and can be integrated into the researcher workflow using mobile and web applications.

Shirley Ryan AbilityLab innovation and clinical research executive director David Zembower said: “MC10’s technology has the potential to reshape rehabilitation.

“We look forward to developing new therapies and solutions with BioStampRC sensors, furthering our goal of improving treatment and recovery, and of advancing human ability.”
