FlyBand Exo-Skeleton

The Unmet Need


  • –25% of patients with diabetes will experience Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Once treated, most patient re-ulcerate within two years, leading to progressive loss and amputation
  • –Diabetic Foot Ulcer costs more than lung cancer and has a higher 3 year mortality than five of the top 10 cancers
  • –Lower limb injuries such as ankle sprain, Achilles tendonopathies and plantar fasciitis are the 

The Innovation

  • –Results Group has developed novel exo-skeletons that integrate within footwear and clothing that can re-direct forces outside of the body – preventing foot ulcers by making it easier to walk, and also easier to heal from a variety of foot and ankle conditions
  • –Robotics

Commercialization

  

–Three patents issued

  

–Results Group will eventually spin-out a new organization to manufacture FlyBand footwear for specialized medical and industrial applications.

  

–Robotic Foundations will follow

Preventing Blindness

The Unmet Need

  

–Although remarkable treatments are widely available, eye diseases such as Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathies continue to be the leading cause of adult blindness 

–The biggest unmet need is not a lack of treatment, it is the lack of ability for patients to start that treatment early enough to make a difference

–Our studies showed patients often take 3 to 5 months between the onset of disease and start of treatment, losing vision which cannot be restored

The Innovation

  

–Results Group has developed novel vision tests that allow patients to easily monitor their vision at home, improve confidence in their visual health, and seek treatment earlier than the standard of care

Engaging Patients to Prevent Delay

Patients lose an average of >4 lines of vision before seeing their primary care eye doctor and being referred to a specialist (Funded internally by RG)

The largest reason for patient delay in seeking help is attributed to lack of self-efficacy (Funded internally by RG)
