Zain is developing assistive tech solutions to catalyse rehabilitation of patients with paralysis

Witnessing his uncle suffer a stroke and get paralysed, Zain identified the need for affordable and effective rehabilitation devices and services for such patients. He started researching the topic and developed ExoHeal at the age of 15, a therapeutic glove that mimics muscular motion in one limb and moves the paralysed limb. He built a core team of 4 members and partners with a therapeutic centre to help more than 50 patients regain sensations and recover 30% faster. Zain and his team are taking the initiative to clinical trials and are exploring opportunities to expand the work to more countries through partnerships.
