ACCOUNTANT

Bionic Power Inc. is a Vancouver-based company developing lightweight, high-mobility exoskeleton technology for the medical market. Our first product is a gait rehabilitation device designed to improve the user’s gait. Some specific conditions that the Agilik can benefit are post-stroke hemiparesis, crouch gait (often seen with cerebral palsy (CP) and spina bifida) and other knee extension deficiency disorders.

Assistive exoskeleton technology has shown great promise for gait rehabilitation. Currently, almost 50% of children with CP will lose the ability to walk in adulthood – we aim to change this. Bionic Power is commercializing its military exoskeleton technology to become light-weight and affordable for the medical market. Our Agilik smart orthosis has gone through clinical trials at BC Children’s Hospital, the NIH CC, and La Nostra Famiglia in Italy. The Agilik is fully commercialized and available now.
