Myomo ~ Cool MIT NeuroRobotics Innovation!

Very cool to have Myomo CEO Steve Kelly share with our MIT Neurotechnology Ventures class the story of his neuro-driven robotic rehabilitation spinoff venture from MIT. Winner in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition (back in the $50K days), Myomo is pioneering...
"...a new category of non-invasive medical device technology to help people relearn how to move severely weak or partially paralyzed limbs. Originally an acronym for "Muscle-Motion," Myomo (pronounced MY-O-MO) was re-defined as "My-Own-Motion" by one of the first patients to ever use our device."
Very cool! Check out their e100 NeuroRobotic system in use at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital...
