AUSTIN,
Texas, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
Bionics announced today that the first Harmony SHR®
exoskeleton in Hong Kong has been
delivered and installed at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Medical Centre to be utilized
in the hospital's rehabilitation program. This marks the very first
international placement for Harmonic Bionics and the first in the
Hong Kong region with the
company's distributor, Healthlink Holdings.
Harmony SHR is a bilateral upper extremity exoskeleton with a
biomechanically matched shoulder designed to allow a larger and
more natural arm range of motion for patients recovering from
neurological or musculoskeletal impairments. Harmonic Bionics
announced the commercial launch of Harmony SHR last April followed
by the first US installation at a top neurological hospital in
Phoenix.
A high-profile dancer that suffered a spinal cord injury in an
accident on stage two years ago was one of the first to use the
Harmony SHR exoskeleton at CUHK Medical Centre, under the care
of Professor Herman Lau, Director of
Allied Health Services, and former Hospital Chief Executive of
Shatin Hospital.
"The Harmony SHR exoskeleton is a highly unique robotic device
that has been specifically designed for bilateral upper body
rehabilitation purposes. The CUHK Medical Centre is proud to
announce that it has recently acquired the first Harmony device in
Hong Kong," said Professor
Herman Lau. "Patients who have been
using the Harmony system have shown remarkable motivation and
enthusiasm, which has resulted in some promising outcomes in a
relatively short period of time."
"This is a major milestone for our company as we work to expand
our footprint and bring Harmony SHR to more providers and
patients," said Harmonic Bionics CEO Mark
Hunter. "There is tremendous opportunity for growth in
Asia and this installation at CUHK
Medical Centre is a great starting point to our intended success in
the market."
