Wearable Robotics raises €5 million to scale rehab technology
Pisa-based startup Wearable Robotics, a specialist in wearable systems for neuromotor rehabilitation, has closed a €5 million Series A funding round. The capital injection will help the company accelerate development and deployment of its robotic exoskeletons designed to support patients recovering from neurological injuries and degenerative conditions.
Building next‑generation exoskeletons for recovery
Wearable Robotics develops lightweight, sensor‑rich exoskeletons that assist and measure human movement in real time. By combining biomechanics, robotics engineering and AI-driven motion analysis, the company’s systems aim to improve gait training, balance and motor control for patients affected by stroke, spinal cord injury or neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s.
The startup’s devices are designed to be used in clinical rehabilitation centers and research hospitals, enabling therapists to tailor therapy intensity and duration while collecting granular data on each patient’s progress. This data-centric approach supports more personalized treatment plans and helps clinicians objectively track recovery.
Funding to drive product roadmap and expansion
The €5 million round will be used to strengthen R&D, expand the company’s product portfolio and prepare for broader regulatory and market rollout across Europe. Investment will also support clinical validation studies with leading hospitals and universities to further demonstrate safety, efficacy and long‑term outcomes of robotic‑assisted rehabilitation.
As demand for cost‑effective, high‑intensity therapy grows with ageing populations, wearable robotics is emerging as a critical tool for healthcare systems. By automating parts of repetitive training and enhancing therapist capabilities, solutions like those from Wearable Robotics are positioned to reduce recovery times and improve quality of life for patients.
Positioning Italy as a hub for rehab robotics
Based in Pisa, a city known for its engineering and robotics research, Wearable Robotics benefits from close collaboration with academic and clinical partners. The new funding underscores investor confidence in Italian deep‑tech and reinforces the country’s role in the fast‑growing field of medical robotics and assistive technologies.
