About ATDev
ATDev's Reflex system is a connected rehabilitation device for orthopaedic knee recovery. It is designed to bring guided robotic exercise into the home and link the patient's work with a telehealth care pathway, extending structured rehabilitation beyond appointments in a clinic.
The company also contributes to RAMMP, a $41 million ARPA-H programme led by the University of Pittsburgh to develop open-source robotic mobility and manipulation technology. That consortium combines intelligent wheelchairs, assistive arms, AI and user-centred control so people with mobility limitations can move and complete daily tasks more independently. ATDev's role spans commercial assistive-device experience and development within this broader research ecosystem.
