[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] NeoFect, a specialized company in innovative medical solutions, announced on the 7th that its lower limb rehabilitation training device, 'Smart Balance,' has won the 'CES 2020 Innovation Award.'


CES is the world's largest electronics exhibition held annually in Las Vegas, USA. The CES Innovation Award is given by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) based on evaluations of innovation, technology, and design. NeoFect's Smart Balance was selected for its excellent performance in the accessibility category.


Smart Balance is a lower limb rehabilitation training device designed for patients with musculoskeletal and neurological damage as well as elderly individuals with reduced balance ability. It offers 16 rehabilitation games to train balance senses such as sitting and walking. It evaluates the user's posture and gait, providing feedback when imbalance is detected to guide training with correct posture. Additionally, it is designed for use in medical clinics and homes, improving treatment accessibility for patients with limited mobility.



Ban Ho-young, CEO of NeoFect, stated, "Smart Balance is the first lower limb rehabilitation training device introduced by NeoFect, and this award is especially meaningful as we have established a rehabilitation device lineup covering the whole body, including our existing main upper limb rehabilitation devices." He added, "It is scheduled for official release in the first half of this year." He also expressed, "We will create a more efficient digital rehabilitation training environment by applying Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data."
