Good Boost Secures £150,000 for AI Rehab Innovation
Bristol-based start-up Good Boost has recently made waves in the tech and rehabilitation space by securing a significant investment of £150,000 from the British Design Fund, forming part of an impressive £500,000 funding round aimed at propelling forward the development of its groundbreaking, AI-driven aquatic rehabilitation technology. This innovative approach is set to transform conventional swimming pools and community spaces into therapeutic environments dedicated to rehabilitation, well-being, and the promotion of healthy aging. The company is committed to harnessing the power of water as a medium for therapy, allowing users to benefit from its unique capabilities in ways that haven’t been possible until now.
The core of Good Boost's innovation lies in its unique digital aqua paddles, which enable the quantification of human movement in water.
This technology is designed to assist not only patients undergoing rehabilitation but also athletes refining their conditioning programs. Co-founder and CEO Ben Wilkins emphasizes that this pioneering technology represents a significant leap forward for physiotherapists, players, and coaches, allowing for an unprecedented level of analysis and evaluation of aquatic rehabilitation interventions. By leveraging public swimming pools, Good Boost not only enhances therapeutic services but also addresses public health challenges by providing greater access to those at risk of health disparities.
As noted by Damon Bonser, CEO of the British Design Fund, the driving force behind Good Boost's success is its commitment to identifying and understanding problems while actively involving end users in devising effective solutions. The technical expertise within the Good Boost team, combined with their powerful technology, positions the company as a leader in the health and leisure industry. With various national and international accolades already to its name, this latest funding round will empower Good Boost to expand its reach within public swimming pools and leisure centers, and develop more specialized services in hydration and athlete rehabilitation. The future looks promising as Good Boost continues to innovate and improve rehabilitation solutions on a global scale.
