Evolution, health rehabilitation

Evolv Rehabilitation Technologies is a company located in Basauri that is dedicated to developing rehabilitation software called EvolvRehab. Through its product, patients with different pathologies such as Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, fragility or mobility problems can improve their quality of life. Its solution is used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and even in patients' homes, where they install their technology to provide personalized rehabilitation for each user.

Evolv is a spin-off of the company Virtualware, dedicated to the development of virtual reality systems. In 2011, Virtualware developed an Exergame (video game with exercises) based on virtual reality and the use of the Microsoft Kinect sensor camera, in collaboration with the Bizkaia Multiple Sclerosis Association (ADEMBI), to help in the rehabilitation of people with this disease. With the possibility of customizing the video game to the needs of each person, this tool offered data to therapists on the progress of patients, and a clinical study with people with MS showed that users showed a substantial improvement in areas such as mobility and balance, and their levels of anxiety and depression had decreased.

Over the next few years, Virtualware continued to develop the product to treat other neurological conditions and to open international markets. In 2017, it took the step of creating a company called Evolv, fully dedicated to the field of virtual rehabilitation.

Today, EvolvRehab has been used in 22 countries and over 300 clinical centres and offers a hardware system called the RehabKit, consisting of a mini-computer and a sensor camera that uses AI-based software to recognise body movements. One of the most recent projects the company has been involved in has been in the United Kingdom, in collaboration with the National Health Service (NHS), where 100,000 cases of stroke are diagnosed each year. Most people with stroke leave hospital with a physical disability that requires long and complex rehabilitation, which in the United Kingdom is usually carried out in the patient’s own home.
