Objective
Early mobilisation in the ICU is a highly effective tool in patient rehabilitation, clinically proven and acknowledged by major international medical bodies. Despite the clear financial advantages for healthcare systems and health benefits for patients, it is currently performed with only 25% of ICU patients due to lack of resources and hazardous nature of the manual procedure.

Reactive Robotics has developed VEMOTION, the world’s first AI-driven robotic assistance system for early mobilisation in ICUs. VEMOTION enables the clinically proven benefits of early mobilisation to be delivered safely to all ICU patients, accelerating recovery by 20%, reducing treatment costs, increasing ICU capacity by 27%, and improving patient outcomes. Introduction creates a >€5bn market for ICU robotics.

The EIC project (€2.5M grant, €15M equity) delivers crucial product development and large-scale clinical trials to validate the clinical/business case and accelerate scale-up.
