After a stroke, trying to move and knowing that a muscle fired can become two separate problems.\n\nneubond raised £1.5M in Seed funding to bring its at-home stroke rehabilitation wristband closer to market. WASEDA University Ventures (WUV) led the round, with SFC Capital and New Wave Ventures LLP joining. The company spun out of Imperial College London and is using the capital for MHRA certification and a clinical study at Charing Cross Hospital.\n\nThe product edge is the feedback loop. neubond's bracelet reads faint electrical signals from muscles, then shows patients in real time when their attempt to move has activated a muscle. That turns invisible effort into visible progress, giving clinicians remote data on repetitions, contraction quality, and recovery while patients continue therapy outside scarce in-person NHS sessions.\n\nThe interesting question is whether neurorehabilitation can become more adaptive without becoming more hospital-bound. If muscle-signal feedback works at home, the same interface could matter beyond stroke recovery, including assistive technologies, human-machine interfaces, and exoskeleton control.\n\nQuick facts������\n● founders: Patrick Sagastegui Alva; Jumpei Kashiwakura\n● total capital raised: £1.5M seed funding plus £720k grant funding\n● HQ: London, United Kingdom\n● Investors: WASEDA University Ventures (WUV); SFC Capital; New Wave Ventures LLP\n\nCan neural and muscle signals make rehabilitation personal enough to beat one-size-fits-all protocols?
