“To meet global demands for quality, efficiency and performance, companies around the world continue to integrate robotic technologies into their processes.   Healthcare is no exception as robot-assisted surgery has become the standard of care for some procedures. In the area of stroke rehabilitation, there is a need to ignite patient neuroplasticity through repetitive motion and the Ekso GT technology is ideally positioned to meet that demand,” said Thomas Looby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ekso Bionics.

“Being the first in a new category means charting new territory with limited visibility on the pace of adoption and the ideal mix of sales versus rentals.  We believe that we have the best and smartest medical device on the market for our clinical customers with the broadest FDA approval in the industry.  We remain confident in our ability to deliver on the promise of expanding the use of robotic exoskeletons across industries. We have clear objectives for our businesses, are closely monitoring key metrics and will aggressively act to course correct as needed,” added Looby.
