Product Evolution - Materials Test and Rapid Prototyping
After 10+ Interviews, 18+ Research Studies, 9 Material Tests, and 5 Simulations we finally had an at-home recovery device - Relevo.
Process
Motion Capture for Movement and Ergonomics
FEM Study for Material
Understanding which elements need to be flexible and which need to be rigid helped us define material requirements.
Understanding movement helped us define the form requirements, the dynamic structure, and ergonomics.

Relevo targets macro- and micro-movement to help in muscle strengthening, pain relief, and patient comfort.
Muscle and movement sensors track the patients’ recovery rate and optimizes the rehabilitation process with real-time feedback.
Only 67% of patients regain full functioning abilities after knee surgery [1].
Rehabilitation after surgery is critical. Quadriceps strength decreases by 30.7% immediately after surgery and 50-60% after one month if proper recovery process is not followed [2].
Relevo is a smart rehabilitation device that utilizes soft robotics and actuation for enhanced recovery post knee-surgeries.
