Проблема или Возможность
My specialism was robotics. So when my grandmother lost movement in her right hand four years ago, I was determined to help. Iron Man 3 was just hitting cinemas and I saw the modular suit of Tony Stark. I realized that a modular exoskeleton could help her, not only to move her hand again but to rehabilitate it.
People in Ukraine have limited access to devices of rehabilitation in clinics. Anton was inspired by Iron Man movie, which helped him create his own technology of modular exoskeleton. It has helped greatly to his grandma and a few other people he tested it on during the rehab process.

Преимущества или дифференциаторы
First innovative it's modular construction of device, not need stationary equipment and lot assistance. Second, not need additional assistance of doctors every time, device in remote doctor's supervision. Third, machine learning algorithms helps track health, also self-work with doctor to change programs of rehabilitation and send notification of changes without additional helps of people. Fourth, all our competitors do not have a cloud service for exoskeletons, through which errors can be corrected, or software can be reconfigured of device. The main part is done with the help of a specialist, if the device fails, it is dangerous enough for the patient and need long term wait of repair. Thanks to our experience with clients and doctors' recommendations, we are working on the "UniExo rehab-service" which will allow the modular exoskeleton to contact in case of unforeseen circumstances, program errors or device breakdowns fully automatically, correct the error if possible, and continue working the device.

We working with B2C model for private clients from 2017 year and sale exoskeletons with service and technical support. It helps us to make a profit for our startup, it can also be a profit in future, we will move to provide time use of device with intelligent service. We moved to B2B model for enter to market.Our company are not limited to: insurance companies, private clinics, medical clinics. We have been targeting a number of layers of monetization, and we’ve been targeting various layers of the economy. Time use of device for limited period, it's good opportunity for many categories of people, who won't buy expensive exoskeletons but need for rehabilitation or assist of movements during per week or month.

We can talk about investment pool for reduce risks.
Yes, it's will be need for FDA approve as class II. We have two examples approve of Ekso Bionics and HAL 5 in this year, and they successful achieved this document, we think for us it's also can easy way with FDA.
Our founder found out in Washington communicating with FDA consultants on the issue of exoskeletons, the easiest is assisting exoskeleton devices, they do not require long licensing and can fit into the category of fitness devices and robotic assistants. Longer term is with stationary devices, since much more tests and resources are needed to get confirmation of what our competitors are doing.
