Clinic-first EMG rehabilitation · Pre-seed

Turning hidden muscle activity into measurable rehabilitation training.

NeuroMyoCloud is a clinic-first software platform that turns residual muscle activity after stroke into therapist-supervised biofeedback, serious-game training and objective progress data.

Built on a working technical proof of principle developed in the n-squared lab at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. Not yet a clinically validated stroke product; clinical validation is planned.

01 · The problem

After a stroke, effort is often invisible

Millions of people survive strokes each year and begin long rehabilitation journeys. The early effort that matters most is the hardest to see.

Invisible early effort

In early recovery, a patient may try to move with no visible motion. That residual muscle activity is hard to see, and motivation fades when nothing seems to happen.

Limited therapist time

One therapist supports many patients. High-quality, individual feedback for every repetition is hard to deliver, and home exercises are often done without guidance.

Few objective measures

Progress is often judged by observation and memory rather than continuous data, which makes therapy harder to adjust and harder to justify to payers.

02 · The solution

We make residual muscle activity visible

NeuroMyoCloud reads the small electrical signals muscles produce (EMG), even when little or no movement is visible, and turns them into real-time feedback the patient and therapist can both see.

The platform is designed to support therapy. It is intended to make residual muscle activity visible and engaging, not to replace clinicians and not to guarantee any clinical outcome.

Muscle attempt EMG signal Real-time decoding Game + biofeedback Progress data

A technical proof of principle exists today. Clinical validation with patients is planned.

03 · How it works

From EMG signal to therapy interaction

Four steps turn a muscle attempt into a visible, rewarding response and into objective data.

01 · Sense

Wearable EMG

A high-density EMG band records muscle activity on the forearm, sampling many channels in parallel.

02 · Decode

Real-time AI

Signal processing and machine learning translate those signals into the patient's intended gesture in real time.

03 · Engage

Game + feedback

The intended movement drives a serious game and live biofeedback, so even small efforts create visible, rewarding responses.

04 · Track

Objective data

Every session becomes objective data on activation, consistency and progress for the therapist to review.

04 · Proof of principle

A working EMG-to-game prototype

We have already built and tested a working prototype: a Rock-Paper-Scissors game controlled entirely by muscle activity through a high-density EMG bracelet. It is a technical proof of principle, not a clinical study.

This prototype demonstrates the core technology only. NeuroMyoCloud is not yet a clinically validated stroke product. Clinical evaluation with patients is planned together with clinical partners.

05 · For clinics

Measurable, engaging, therapist-controlled

NeuroMyoCloud is designed to fit existing rehabilitation workflows and to keep therapists in control.

  • Make residual muscle activity visible from the very first attempt.
  • Keep patients motivated with game-based, rewarding training.
  • Turn each session into objective activation and progress data.
  • Support supervised use in the clinic, with home-based training as a later step.

Built around the clinician

  • Therapists set goals and review objective session data.
  • Designed with cautious, supportive medical wording.
  • Intended to support therapy, not to replace clinical judgement.
