Your stroke hospital will have to tell you how this one compares to all the other ones along with the research supporting it and its efficacy.
The intersection of these sets is what your hospital needs to evaluate. They should already have this down pat so this additional evaluation shouldn't take very long. Or is your hospital incompetent because it has done no evaluation of any arm recovery tools at all?

victims with the upper motor deficit.
The ‘ArmAble’ was unveiled by Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog, in the presence of Dr. Renu Swarup, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology, during seventh Foundation Day celebrations of Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) held at New Delhi recently. During the Foundation Day, ‘BIRAC TiE WInER Award 2019 for Women’ was presented to Akitha Kolloju, Co-founder of HEAMAC Healthcare, which was also incubated by IIT-H. The founders of both startups graduated from the fellowship programme offered by the Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE), IIT-Hyderabad, which trains individuals from various disciplines towards innovations in Healthcare.
Speaking about the recognitions Dr. Renu John, Co-Head of CfHE and Head, Department of Biomedical Engineering, IIT-H, said, “The successes of these two entrepreneurs is a testimonial to the systematic biodesign process that they followed at the CfHE starting from the identification of the unmet need to the launch of the product validating their concept and carefully addressing the risks at each stage of product development”
BeAble Health works towards enabling health and lives through the convergence of good design and technology. ‘ArmAble’ is their first product and is aimed at solving a pressing need for intensive, engaging and regular rehabilitation therapy for upper limb.
