Lausanne, Switzerland

Emovo Care develops a neural EMG interface (non-medical) and a robotic hand exoskeleton (medical device) for people with motor impairments, at home. Our 1st product is a medical device exoskeleton to support hand impairments after stroke. Based on novel soft-robotics tech protected by 2 patents, the system is comfortable and simple to use, to support therapy both in clinical settings and at home. The company operates an ISO-13485 compliant QMS, and already deployed several systems for clinical and academic research worldwide. Our next development include a world-unique neural device controllable via non-invasive muscular signals. Our long term vision is to develop devices that can do “therapy while living”: assist patients in their daily life to increase motivation, meaningfulness, and dose of motor therapy -ultimately allowing to achieve better clinical recovery and improve quality of life.

About me

Dr. Luca Randazzo is an engineer and entrepreneur working in the field of disability.

He is currently CEO at Emovo Care (https://emovocare.com/ ), a medical device company developing exoskeletal devices with the ultimate goal of supporting “therapy while living” - to improve clinical benefits through more intensive and meaningful therapy directly blended with daily living.
He is also the co-founder of the Hackahealth association (https://www.hackahealth.ch/), - a living community which organizes yearly hackathons and a university course at EPFL (https://www.epfl.ch/education/educational-initiatives/discovery-learning-program-2/interdisciplinary-projects/assistive-technologies-challenge/) where people can meet and mingle, fighting the social constructs of disability through sharing and togetherness.
Luca’s involvement in the field of disability comes from his personal experience with his sister who has cerebral palsy (https://actu.epfl.ch/news/we-need-to-empower-people-with-disabilities-2/ ). He strives to transform the perception of disability through play, inclusion, and technology.

Luca worked at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (California - US), and at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Torino (Italy).
He holds a Ph.D. in Robotics from EPFL Lausanne, a M.Sc. degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, a M.Sc. in Automation Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, and a B.Sc. in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Università degli studi di Catania.
