Résumé
PROVA Innovations is a Hamilton, Ontario-based company that specializes in wearable technology solutions for in-home gait training and neuromuscular rehabilitation for individuals with a brain injury, neurological disorder, degenerative disease, or a mobility challenge. Their products uniquely promote exercise and neuro recovery in a non-invasive way by providing individuals with consistent biofeedback and coaching during everyday activity. PROVA needs support developing a cloud system that will hold their proprietary algorithms and process the significant amount of user data. They are aiming to expand their processing capabilities, including the real-time collection and analysis of the data, and user guidance. PROVA and the Mohawk College mHealth and eHealth Development and Innovation Centre (MEDIC) will collaborate to address those needs. MEDIC is a leading national digital health research and development hub, and their cloud system, data processing and hardware integration expertise will help advance PROVA’s technology. The results will help to manage the demand for hip and knee replacements, which total more than $1.4B spent annually on those surgeries.
