The AHSN Network has supported many innovators to help advance our health and care system. Find out more about successful innovations supported by the NHS.
GripAble are developing gamified mobile technologies for therapy and assessment. Common equipment used for hand and arm therapy, such as thera-putty or stress balls, have not been successfully digitised. The company’s first product, GripAble™, is a digital handgrip that wirelessly connects to a mobile app, allowing patients to play fun therapy games. It has been designed to be highly portable and patient-personalised.
The project seeks to digitally enable patients to allow self-management via a collection of patient-facing applications. The primary goal is to reduce avoidable emergency attendance that will present a saving to the health system and, when rolled out across multiple patient cohorts will provide significant benefit to the health and social care system.
