Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit

On Tuesday 21st October at 6:00 pm, the Auditorium of Quirónsalud Bizkaia Hospital will host the First Health and Robotic Neurorehabilitation Symposium, an exceptional event organised by the hospital’s Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit in collaboration with Gogoa Mobility Robots, Europe’s leading enterprise in exoskeletons and advanced neurorehabilitation solutions.

This landmark occasion celebrates a double anniversary: the first year of the Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit at Quirónsalud Bizkaia – the only hospital-based unit of its kind in the Basque Country – and the tenth anniversary of Gogoa Mobility Robots, a Basque pioneer in the clinical application of robotic technologies for health.

A showroom with live demonstrations

The highlight of the symposium will be the opportunity to witness cutting-edge technology in action through an interactive showroom featuring live demonstrations of some of the most advanced devices developed and deployed by Gogoa:

• HANK Exoskeleton: an international benchmark in gait rehabilitation. In the live demonstration, attendees will see how patients with neurological impairment may regain the ability to walk thanks to this state-of-the-art exoskeleton.

• BELK Exoskeleton: a device conceived for gait training and the enhancement of knee mobility, making it a versatile solution for exercise programmes and preventative care.

• Hand of Hope (HoH) Exoskeleton: an innovative system for the rehabilitation of hand and arm mobility. This device restores functionality and creates new opportunities to recover essential movements – from grasping an object to performing precise everyday tasks.

• BESK Exoskeleton: a dynamic system for the rehabilitation of upper limbs, enabling self-initiated, adjustable and safe therapies, while improving strength, coordination, and range of motion.

• ALPERK Vagus Nerve Modulator: a revolutionary device that accelerates cerebral neuroplasticity, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and fostering functional recovery up to 50% faster.

• Balance platforms and virtual reality systems, integrating physical and cognitive training within immersive and motivating environments.

  
  

This showroom will grant attendees the chance to interact first-hand with the technology, appreciate its mechanisms, and discover how these innovations are transforming neurorehabilitation within the hospital environment.

A pioneering hospital-based unit

The Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit at Quirónsalud Bizkaia Hospital is the first and only hospital-based unit of its kind in the Basque Autonomous Community, making it a distinctive and pioneering resource compared with extramural initiatives.

Its unique value lies in the combination of cutting-edge robotic technology with the safety and assurance of a hospital clinical setting, where every patient benefits from:

• Continuous medical supervision throughout the therapies.

• Immediate access to diagnostic tests and hospital services.

• Multidisciplinary coordination with neurology, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and traumatology.

  
  

This model ensures safe, intensive, and personalised treatment for patients with stroke, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative conditions (such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS), as well as post-operative sequelae and traumatic injuries.

Even in chronic stages or in cases where conventional therapies have reached their limit, robotic neurorehabilitation offers new avenues of recovery, improving strength, mobility, balance, posture, and independence.

Key speakers and real-life testimonies

The programme will blend scientific insight with clinical expertise and personal experience:

• Carlos Fernández Isoird, CEO of Gogoa Mobility Robots, on the future of neurotechnology.

• Sara García Delgado, specialist physiotherapist in neurology and Head of the Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit at Quirónsalud Bizkaia Hospital.

• Guillermo Asín Prieto, Director of R&D at Gogoa Mobility Robots.

• Patients and relatives, sharing their personal testimonies and journeys of recovery.

• Invited medical experts (to be confirmed: neurologists, neurosurgeons, and trauma specialists).

  
  

How to attend

The symposium is open to patients, relatives, healthcare professionals, and anyone wishing to discover how technology is transforming neurological rehabilitation.
