Fourier Intelligence, a leading player in the
rehabilitation technology industry, has recently clinched two prestigious
awards. Adding to its accolades, Fourier Intelligence was awarded the Good
Design Award 2023 and the Shanghai International Design 100+ Award for the MetaMotus™ Galileo.
Combining the disciplines of biomechanics, rehabilitation, and sports science,
the revolutionary platform enables an immersive and safe environment for
patients and medical professionals. In line with Zen Koh, Co-Founder and Global
CEO of Fourier Intelligence’s concept of Rehab 4.0, the new platform will
revolutionise and drive the rehabilitation technology industry forward by
enabling a sustainable and inclusive ecosystem that paves the way for further
protocol development and creating endless possibilities and breakthroughs.

Award 2023 and Shanghai International Design 100+ Award for the MetaMotus™
Galileo
With a career in robotics and rehabilitation spanning over two
decades, Zen Koh’s leadership played a vital role in developing the MetaMotus™
Galileo. Combining his knowledge and experience, he led the research and
development team in ensuring that every aspect encompasses the concept of Rehab
4.0, allowing it to function as an open platform that propels growth and
collaboration. While Fourier Intelligence champions the development of the
MetaMotus™ Galileo, it promotes collaboration where its versatility allows
different devices to be used cohesively with it.
“The MetaMotus™ Galileo takes the rehab industry further, allowing
for even more collaboration between industry players and experts. The concept
of Rehab 4.0 encompasses the utilisation of revolutionising technology that
changes the way of conventional rehabilitation methods. As we progress, we can
see many changes to the world around us through technology, which has become an
essential tool instead of a luxury compared to two decades ago. A great example
is our smartphone, a palm-size device that embodies multiple tools in one.
Rehabilitation technology is no different, and we should embrace changes
through advancements for the betterment of humanity by focusing on patient
outcomes. The MetaMotus™ Galileo is designed to be an open platform for all,
regardless of whether a patient uses a wheelchair or a prosthetic leg; we aim
to create tailored solutions for them. The awards received are a welcomed
motivation for our team as we strive to develop and deliver even more advanced
solutions for better patient recovery and allow them to live fulfilling lives
with their loved ones,” said Zen Koh, Co-Founder & Global CEO of Fourier
Intelligence.

The MetaMotus™ Galileo enables cross-device integration between Fourier
Intelligence range of devices, such as the AmrMotus™ EMU and wheelchair
and prosthetic training.
Featuring biomechanical analysis capabilities by combining virtual
reality and robotics, the MetaMotus™ Galileo establishes a revolutionary
platform that enables users with different needs to train in an immersive
environment. Functioning as an open platform that accommodates customised
protocols, it provides a dynamic range of rehabilitation methods. These
encompass robotics-assisted training for upper and lower limbs, wheelchair
training, dynamic balance training, prosthetic adaption, and gait retraining.
Its advanced Galileo X processor also allows for exposure therapy for PTSD and
real-time multimodal data analysis. This fosters a comprehensive rehabilitation
ecosystem that readily empowers therapists to develop new protocols and
treatments for patient applications.
Picture 3: The
MetaMotus™ Galileo can create a controlled virtual environment for rehab or
research, for example, walking up and downhill, commuting, and canoeing.
With its patient assessment capabilities, the
MetaMotus™ Galileo can train patients for real-life scenarios. Helping them
regain complete independence upon leaving the healthcare facility and achieve
functional independence, allowing them to reintegrate into society after
suffering an injury.
