BeAble Health, Jeevaniyam,& IIT Hyderabad Join Hands to Enhance AI-based Paediatric Care
The collaboration brings together BeAble’s engineering expertise, Jeevaniyam’s clinical experience and paediatric patient access, and IIT Hyderabad’s innovation ecosystem and academic strength, to create a platform for the advancement of technology-driven rehabilitation.
BeAble Health, a Hyderabad-based healthtech startup, has partnered with the Jeevaniyam Research Center and the Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE), IIT Hyderabad, to build advanced AI-based rehabilitation technologies for children.
The partnership focuses on the development, clinical validation, and scaling of technology-driven solutions for children with neuro-developmental and neuro-muscular conditions, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD.
The collaboration brings together BeAble’s engineering expertise, Jeevaniyam’s clinical experience and paediatric patient access, and IIT Hyderabad’s innovation ecosystem and academic strength, to create a platform for the advancement of technology-driven rehabilitation.
Through this initiative, the partnership aims to address gaps in technology access, clinical evidence, and skills that affect access to rehabilitation devices for children in India.
Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Reshmi Pramod, Founder and Medical Director, Jeevaniyam Hospitals, said, “Through this collaboration with BeAble Health and CfHe, we want to explore how AI-led rehabilitation can improve therapy for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism, as well as for adults living with stroke and Parkinson’s disease. Over the years, we have seen the kind of role technology can play in improving patient outcomes. At Jeevaniyam, through partnerships like these, we are trying to combine traditional care approaches with modern rehabilitation tools to make therapy more personalised and effective.”
The collaboration will further leverage BeAble Health’s ArmAbl, designed for motor rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disorders.
As part of the collaboration, the rehabilitation device will undergo usability testing, clinical validation, and trials at Jeevaniyam’s clinical facilities.
Additionally, product development will be guided by feedback from clinicians, therapists, and patients to ensure alignment with real-world care needs.
Further, the CfHE–IIT Hyderabad will provide support in areas such as grant and CSR applications, infrastructure access, and guidance on regulatory processes for product development and deployment.
Further, the collaboration also includes paediatric rehabilitation through technology development, clinical research, and training programmes for therapists, clinicians, and students to support the adoption of technology-enabled rehabilitation practices.
Sharing his thoughts, Habib Ali, CEO and Co-Founder, BeAble Health, said, “Technology has transformed many areas of healthcare, and it has the potential to make rehabilitation more engaging, personalised, and effective. Tools like ArmAble can help children practise essential movements through interactive therapy rather than routine exercises. By bringing together BeAble’s technology development, Jeevaniyam’s clinical expertise, and IIT Hyderabad’s research ecosystem, this partnership aims to build and validate rehabilitation solutions that can make a meaningful difference for children and their families.”
