Product
Haptika’s current platform combines a body-worn stimulation module with a companion app. It uses functional electrical stimulation to support movement practice, with an emphasis on gait recovery and controls for individual sessions and patient profiles.
Electrical movement support
The non-invasive module applies functional electrical stimulation during rehabilitation. Its modular, body-worn design is intended to adapt to different movement needs, with gait recovery as an explicit focus.
Stimulation timed to movement
The system is designed to synchronise stimulation with real movement during rehabilitation. Timing stimulation to active practice is intended to fit treatment into the patient’s rehabilitation routine.
App-based session management
The companion app provides session start controls, live status and adjustable intensity. Patient profiles and a progress history keep session information together as patients continue their rehabilitation.
Market Overview
Functional electrical stimulation equipment serves neurological rehabilitation, helping clinicians support movement after stroke or spinal cord injury. Buyers include rehabilitation providers and patients using prescribed devices at home. The category combines physical equipment with assessment, fitting and follow-up care.
Commercial suppliers serve both clinics and home users, while wireless systems reduce the burden of cables during movement. Purchasing routes vary by health system: UK services can use local NHS funding or self-payment. Clinician-led setup and recurring support remain part of the device model, alongside hardware and consumables.
The global functional electrical stimulation market was estimated at $672.8 million in 2025.
Wireless systems were projected to account for 58.2% of global functional stimulation revenue in 2025.
Bioness’s advanced rehabilitation business represented about $50 million in annual revenue in its 2024 sale announcement.
An analysis published in 2026 estimated global neurological rehabilitation needs at 225.38 million people in 2021.
Comparable Outcomes
Bioness rehabilitation business
Bioness’s advanced rehabilitation business supplied electrical stimulation, gait-training and therapy systems for people recovering from stroke and other neuromuscular conditions. Accelmed acquired the business from Bioventus in December 2024 for $25 million at closing, subject to adjustments, plus up to $20 million in performance-based earn-outs.
