1Crowd Invests in Rymo Technologies to Expand Healthcare Portfolio

By combining robotics, AI and gamification, the startup seeks to support clinicians in providing more engaging rehabilitation programmes while enabling better tracking of patient progress

Early-stage investment fund 1Crowd has announced an investment in Rymo Technologies, a healthtech startup focused on physical rehabilitation through robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to expand its healthcare portfolio.

The investment seeks to strengthen the firm’s healthcare and medtech portfolio.

It is intended to support the development and accessibility of robotic rehabilitation systems for healthcare providers, including hospitals, physiotherapy clinics and rehabilitation centres.

Natasha Kothari, Co-Founder and Partner, 1Crowd, said, "Rymo stood out to us for its approach to making advanced rehabilitation technology more affordable and accessible to healthcare providers in India. We see considerable potential in the role that robotics and technology can play in rehabilitation and believe that Rymo's focus aligns well with the opportunity in this space. We are pleased to welcome Rymo to our healthcare portfolio and look forward to supporting the team as it continues to build the business."

As per reports, the firm has backed around 10 companies across the broader healthtech ecosystem, including businesses in health technology, biotechnology, healthcare insurance and financing, and medical devices.

Rymo Technologies develops technology-enabled rehabilitation solutions for patients recovering from neurological and orthopaedic conditions.

Through its technology-enabled solution, Rymo aims to address the gap in India's rehabilitation ecosystem, where access to physiotherapy is limited and the adoption of robotic rehabilitation technology is still low.

Rymo's product portfolio spans robotic rehabilitation systems, balance trainers, extended reality (XR) and virtual reality (VR)-based solutions, along with upcoming functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices.

By combining robotics, AI and gamification, the startup seeks to support clinicians in providing more engaging rehabilitation programmes while enabling better tracking of patient progress. Its products are designed for use across hospitals, physiotherapy clinics and rehabilitation centres.

Sharing his thoughts, Chirag Shah, Co-Founder and CEO, Rymo, said, "At Rymo, our vision is to make high-quality rehabilitation more effective, engaging and accessible through technology. By integrating robotics, AI and gamification into rehabilitation, we aim to support clinicians, improve the therapy experience for patients and make recovery more measurable. We are pleased to have 1Crowd join us on this journey and look forward to building on our work to expand access to technology-enabled rehabilitation."
