GaitBetter, a digital neurotherapeutics company, announced today the successful closing of its bridge financing round. The round was led by eHealth Ventures and included participation from Dreamit Ventures, KT Squared, MindUP, and AARP. The proceeds will be used to expedite commercial expansion in the U.S. healthcare market and further develop its state-of-the-art motor-cognitive virtual reality (VR) intervention for gait rehabilitation and fall prevention.
Backed by eight clinical trials and more than 20-peer reviewed publications, GaitBetter uses gamification and semi-immersive VR to simulate motor-cognitive challenges that patients experience in everyday life. Clinically proven to accelerate more positive outcomes and reduce falls by over 70%, GaitBetter’s innovative solution enables clinicians to tailor therapy intensity and specificity to the unique needs of their patients.
“We are thrilled to have the support of such esteemed investors as eHealth Ventures, Dreamit Ventures, KT Squared, MindUP, and AARP in this round of financing,” said Hilik Harari, CEO of GaitBetter. “This funding together with The American Medical Association’s decision to issue a new CPT® code covering GaitBetter’s intervention, strongly positions GaitBetter to accelerate adoption of our advanced motor-cognitive system to now benefit more patients in the U.S.”
GaitBetter’s affordability and ease of use allows it to be installed in a wide variety of settings, including inpatient rehabilitation centers, outpatient physical therapy clinics, senior centers, gyms/fitness centers, and senior living communities.
