The Singapore, together with a well-known university has developed a rehabilitation product aimed specially for stroke patients. It is a portable, clinically validated arm rehabilitation device. Because it is portable, the patient can now undergo training at hospitals, community centers or even at home.

The product was developed with improved productivity in mind. Using the product will enable therapist to cater to more patients, ease workload as well as lower departmental cost.

When the handle is moved, it assesses user's arm movements, adapt complexity to ensure maximum learning, and provides feedback on the recovery progress.

Due to expansion to Europe, the Singapore company wants to look for European distributors to provide distribution services for the products manufactured by the Singapore company. This is because, the Singapore has no presence in Europe and has no connections with rehabilitation service providers in Europe. The company hopes to seek a distributor that has good connections in Europe.

The Singapore company hopes to cooperate with a European partner with experience in working with medical institution such as rehabilitation centers, hospitals, clinics and medical schools.
