NewPulse – Home-Based Neurorehabilitation Device for Stroke and Neurological Patient

Project / Technology Overview
Neuro Muss d.o.o. is a women-led MedTech startup developing NewPulse, a non-invasive rehabilitation medical device designed for home use by stroke survivors and patients with neurological conditions affecting hand mobility.

NewPulse enables high-repetition passive hand and finger movements, allowing patients with weak or fully paralyzed hands to perform therapy independently, multiple times per day. The solution is designed to leverage neuroplasticity, reduce pain, spasticity, and swelling, and close the gap between limited clinical rehabilitation and everyday recovery at home.

The device features a modular two-part architecture:

• a control module providing simple visual and audio guidance, and

• a mechanical hand unit that safely moves all five fingers.

A key innovation is the universal hand-unit design, usable for both left and right hands and across hand sizes, improving affordability and scalability.

Project Status & Ambition

• Current maturity: TRL 3–4 (validated prototype in lab)

• Regulatory strategy:

  • Class I device for pain, swelling, and spasticity relief (near-term)

  • Class II device for neuroplasticity-driven rehabilitation (with clinical validation)

• Target markets: EU and U.S.

• Intended use: home-based rehabilitation, complementary to standard physiotherapy

Role in the Consortium
Neuro Muss seeks to participate as technology provider and innovation lead for home-based neurorehabilitation devices. We contribute:

• the core device concept and prototype,

• user-centered design rooted in real patient needs,

• strong focus on social impact, inclusion, and healthcare system sustainability.

Type of Partners Sought
We are looking for partners for Horizon Europe Cluster Health proposals, including:

• Clinical partners (hospitals, rehab centers, universities) for clinical validation, pilots, and study design

• Research & technology partners (neuroscience, rehabilitation science, biomedical engineering)

• Industry partners / SMEs for manufacturing, sensors, materials, or system integration

• Digital health partners (optional) for future monitoring, data collection, or serious-game elements

• Public health / health-economics partners for impact, cost-effectiveness, and health-system integration

• Consortium coordinators seeking a MedTech SME with a strong user-driven innovation and gender-balanced leadership

Collaboration Interest
We are open to joining consortia as:

• a technology development partner,

• a pilot / demonstration case, or

• a work-package leader for device innovation, user needs, or exploitation planning.
