• LIFEBLOOM: The LIFEBLOOM project aims at allowing disabled people and dependent elderly to be and stay active by walking and moving around upright thanks to an exoskeleton and a mobility monitoring solution.
• MY CYBER ROYAUME: The company has developed virtual software fostering relaxation and escape using virtual reality which is specifically designed for the elderly. The software will allow the user to remotely experience a virtual trip with their family.
• SICADE: The business is developing a wheelchair bay with ramp allowing disabled people to go up or down stairs at home without any transfer or assistance.
• SIGO HEALTHCARE: The business’s project consists of a train carriage replica designed to be installed in care or nursing homes caring for residents suffering from neurodegenerative disease. The goal is to simulate a journey to appease the patient.
