GOGOA’s stand at the International “Care Economy and Silver Economy” Forum in Gijón GOGOA at the International “Care Economy and Silver Economy” Forum in Gijón GOGOA took part on 3 and 4 December in the International “Care Economy and Silver Economy” Forum , held at the Luis Adaro Trade Fair and Conference Centre in Gijón  and organised by CECOEC, the laboratory created to develop the Centre of Competence for Long-Term Care and Active Ageing. The forum brought together public authorities, companies, third-sector organisations and international experts to examine how the care economy and the silver economy can become a genuine driver of sustainable social and economic development A reference forum for the care economy The Forum unfolded over two full days , combining high-level keynote addresses, panel discussions and the presentation of best practices. Among other topics, it addressed: The role of artificial intelligence  in the care economy. The European Care Strategy  and international long-term care policies. The vision and models of various autonomous communities , including Asturias, Navarre, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia and the Basque Country. Innovative projects focused on healthy ageing, person-centred care and the fight against unwanted loneliness. With around 400 registered participants , the event confirmed the growing interest in solutions that bring together technology, public policy and advanced care models to respond to the challenges of ageing and chronic conditions. GOGOA’s own stand: HELK and the group’s technology ecosystem GOGOA was present in the exhibition area with its own stand , alongside companies and organisations specialising in health, social services, technology and long-term care. At the stand, GOGOA presented HELK , the ergonomic exoskeleton designed to provide lumbar support  in physically demanding tasks, particularly within social and healthcare settings. HELK is conceived for professionals who repeatedly perform activities such as moving and transferring people, lifting loads and maintaining awkward postures, helping to reduce strain on the lower back and the risk of musculoskeletal injury. In addition to HELK, the GOGOA team showcased other solutions developed by the group based on medical and industrial exoskeletons , as well as specific proposals for: Residential and day-care centres. Home-care services. Hospitals and rehabilitation units. Interaction with professionals and organisations was constant throughout the two days, with particular interest in the impact of exoskeletons on carers’ occupational health and on the overall quality of care. Institutional relations and the forging of alliances GOGOA together with Marta del Arco, Regional Minister for Social Rights and Well-being of the Principality of Asturias, and Félix Baragaño, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Gijón, during the International “Care Economy and Silver Economy” Forum. The Forum also provided an excellent setting in which to strengthen relationships with key stakeholders in the Asturian care ecosystem. During the event, GOGOA representatives held direct discussions with: Marta del Arco Fernández , Regional Minister for Social Rights and Well-being of the Principality of Asturias, responsible for driving the CuidAs model and the region’s long-term care strategy. Félix Baragaño , President of the Chamber of Commerce of Gijón , an institution closely involved in economic development linked to the silver economy in the region. These conversations open the door to potential pilot projects  and collaborations aimed at: Integrating GOGOA exoskeletons into occupational risk-prevention  programmes in social and healthcare centres. Assessing the impact of HELK and other technologies in reducing musculoskeletal sick leave. Developing structured training pathways  for care professionals in the safe and effective use of exoskeletons. Media visibility: presence on the Radiotelevisión del Principado de Asturias GOGOA’s participation in the Forum also attracted media attention. The team was interviewed by Radiotelevisión del Principado de Asturias (RTPA)  on the “Noticias 1” news bulletin on TPA a la carta , where the role of exoskeletons in protecting the health of care professionals and improving the quality of care was highlighted. This coverage helps to raise awareness of exoskeleton technology  as a real, already available tool for addressing the challenge of population ageing and the increasing pressure on care systems. Care economy and silver economy: a strategic pillar for GOGOA The care economy and the silver economy are rapidly consolidating as two of the most decisive drivers of transformation for the coming years. The Gijón Forum has reinforced several key ideas: The need to professionalise and dignify  care work. The importance of technological innovation  in delivering sustainable, safe and person-centred care. The fundamental role of public–private collaboration  in scaling up solutions. Within this context, GOGOA’s value proposition aligns closely with these priorities: HELK  directly contributes to reducing the physical strain endured by social and healthcare staff. Rehabilitation exoskeletons foster functional recovery and autonomy for people with mobility limitations. GOGOA’s industrial solutions help to extend a culture of musculoskeletal injury prevention across multiple sectors. Next steps Following the International “Care Economy and Silver Economy” Forum, GOGOA will continue to work along three principal lines: Institutional collaborations  with public authorities and chambers of commerce to develop pilots in real-world settings. Impact evaluation , objectively measuring outcomes in terms of reduced injuries, lower absenteeism and improved quality of care. Dissemination and training , supporting organisations in the adoption of exoskeletons through structured, high-quality training programmes. GOGOA wishes to thank the organisers of the Forum and all participating institutions for the opportunity to share solutions and a forward-looking vision. Our objective remains unequivocal: to place exoskeleton technology at the service of people and of those who care for them , contributing to a safer, more efficient and more sustainable model of care.

The primary sector is undergoing a subtle yet profound transformation as it adopts technologies designed to safeguard workers’ health and enhance the long-term sustainability of agricultural operations. Among these innovations, the exoskeletons developed by GOGOA BIOENGINEERING  are emerging as an exceptionally effective solution to reduce physical strain in particularly demanding tasks. For many cooperatives, the question is no longer whether such technology will become commonplace, but rather how to implement it intelligently, rigorously, and with measurable results . It is within this context that the following event is being held: “Implementation of Exoskeletons in the Primary Sector” , organised as part of the Exokoop Project , funded by Osalan  and the Department of Economy, Labour and Employment of the Basque Government . Key Details of the Event Date:  Thursday, 11 December Time:  11:30 – 13:00 Venue:  Cooperativa San Isidro de Mungia (GURELUR) Free registration (limited capacity): https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=KZb3byGBc0-ZXFT-GSx0yyquW2yqhFRLieuSWMPjW3BUN1hBWlBHODdKQzMzWTY1QUNKREtXUkZEVi4u&route=shorturl Why Exoskeletons Matter in the Primary Sector Work in greenhouses and agricultural environments places a substantial physical burden on professionals: Prolonged and awkward postures involving the back, shoulders, and neck. Tasks requiring elevated arms, trunk flexion, or repetitive bending. Repetitive movements and manual handling of loads. These factors significantly increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, lead to accumulated fatigue, and ultimately affect both worker well-being and organisational productivity. The exoskeletons engineered by GOGOA BIOENGINEERING  have proved to be a highly effective means of reducing physical load in such activities—provided they are incorporated within a comprehensive prevention strategy. This session aims to provide clear answers to essential questions raised by cooperatives: In which specific tasks can an exoskeleton deliver meaningful benefit? What tangible improvements can be expected? How can a successful implementation be achieved without organisational friction? The Exokoop Project: Evidence, Measurement and Strategic Deployment The Exokoop Project  promotes the introduction of GOGOA’s exoskeletons into real agricultural settings by: Conducting detailed ergonomic analyses of actual tasks. Assessing exoskeleton performance during authentic working conditions. Establishing an optimal and transferable methodology for implementation in cooperatives. The initiative is supported by Osalan and the Department of Economy, Labour and Employment of the Basque Government, ensuring a rigorous, data-driven framework. Content of the Session 1. Musculoskeletal Risks in the Primary Sector A precise review of the agricultural tasks associated with the highest physical strain—such as planting, pruning, harvesting, classification, carrying crates, and maintenance.The aim is to connect day-to-day experience with technical prevention criteria. 2. GOGOA Exoskeletons: Application, Benefits and Boundaries The exoskeletons developed by GOGOA BIOENGINEERING will be presented in depth, covering: The specific type of assistance they offer (back, shoulders, arms). The tasks for which they are most effective. Practical matters such as fit, comfort, sizing, and compatibility with workwear and PPE. Operational limitations and recommended best practices. This provides cooperatives with a clear technical foundation to identify when and how these solutions should be used. 3. Monitorex Systems: Measuring Improvement through Data The Monitorex  systems—also developed by GOGOA BIOENGINEERING—enable: Measurement of posture, effort and physical load before and after exoskeleton usage. Objective identification of load reduction. Evidence-based pilot testing rather than reliance on subjective feedback. This data is essential for justifying investments and ensuring that exoskeleton integration leads to demonstrable results. 4. Implementation Strategies for Cooperatives The session will outline a structured methodology for the successful deployment of exoskeletons: Selection of pilot tasks. Identification of suitable user profiles. Training, adjustment and continuous follow-up. Managing organisational change effectively. The focus is entirely practical, aimed at enabling each cooperative to replicate a safe, efficient and scalable implementation model. 5. Practical Demonstration with Volunteers Participants will observe real demonstrations, including: Fitting and adjustment of GOGOA exoskeletons. Movement freedom and comfort in typical agricultural tasks. Ergonomic differences when working with and without exoskeleton support.

From 17 to 20 November, GOGOA BIOENGINEERING took part in MEDICA 2025  in Düsseldorf – the world’s foremost trade fair for medical technology and healthcare innovation. With more than 5,800 exhibitors from over 70 countries  and around 80,000 visitors representing 165 nations , including a remarkably high proportion of senior decision-makers, MEDICA continues to stand as the pre-eminent global rendezvous for those shaping the future of medicine. For GOGOA BIOENGINEERING, a European leader in exoskeletons and advanced neurorehabilitation technologies, MEDICA is not merely an event: it is the arena in which the next decade of healthcare is outlined, negotiated, and built. Our presence this year revolved around three key pillars: Showcasing our work within the REVITAL European project  at the project’s dedicated stand. Delivering a company pitch at the International Cross-Border Pitching Event @ MEDICA 2025 , organised by Life Science Nord, WTSH, IB.SH , IHK zu Lübeck  and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) . Engaging in a highly productive schedule of meetings with hospitals, clinical groups, distributors, innovation clusters and technology providers from across the world. MEDICA: Why This Fair Truly Matters Held annually since the late 1960s, MEDICA  has evolved into the most influential showcase of global healthcare innovation. Beyond its extensive exhibition halls, MEDICA features: dedicated forums on digital health and clinical software , high-profile competitions for healthtech start-ups, the German Hospital Conference , thematic areas such as the Hospital of the Future  and the START-UP PARK . For hospital directors, clinical chiefs, policymakers, and medical technology investors, MEDICA functions as a strategic observatory  – a place to understand which technologies are clinically mature, which partnerships are emerging, and which innovations are set to define tomorrow’s healthcare delivery. REVITAL: Bringing Advanced Neurorehabilitation and Telecare to Rural Regions Throughout MEDICA, GOGOA BIOENGINEERING was represented at the stand of the European project REVITAL – Socioeconomic revitalisation of low-density population areas through clinical telecare  (S1/4.5/E0037), co-funded by Interreg VI-B Sudoe 2021–2027  through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) , with a total budget exceeding €2.1 million. A Strategic Challenge: Ageing, Rurality and Access to Care REVITAL tackles a common challenge in Southern Europe: ensuring equitable access to specialised care for populations living in sparsely populated, ageing territories such as: Castilla y León (Spain) Beira Baixa (Portugal) The French Basque Country Here, distances, demographic decline and limited clinical infrastructure often prevent timely access to physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation and multidisciplinary care. GOGOA BIOENGINEERING’s Contribution to REVITAL As a medtech manufacturer and neurotechnology innovator, GOGOA BIOENGINEERING contributes: its portfolio of clinical exoskeletons  – HANK (gait), BELK (knee), and HELK (injury-prevention for professionals), its operational experience from our own MOVEX CLINICS  in the Basque Country, its technological capabilities in tele-rehabilitation, VR therapy and remote patient engagement , and its expertise in integrating robotics within multidisciplinary clinical pathways. The results are already tangible: in the French Basque pilot alone, more than 40 patients have benefited  from exoskeleton-assisted therapies guided by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and rehabilitation physicians. A Transferable Model for Hospitals and Regional Health Systems REVITAL offers a fully transferable model with clear value for healthcare managers: Hybrid care pathways : combining on-site sessions with remote monitoring and digital rehabilitation. Objective, data-driven rehabilitation : continuous metrics on mobility, effort, adherence and progress. Local socioeconomic impact : creation of new roles, services and territorial healthcare capacities. For regions facing demographic decline and workforce shortages, REVITAL demonstrates a viable, scalable and clinically robust approach to modernising care delivery. International Cross-Border Pitching @ MEDICA 2025 Another milestone of our presence at MEDICA was our participation in the International Cross-Border Pitching Event , held on 19 November in the North German Pavilion (Hall 15 / E13) . Organised by Life Science Nord (LSN) , WTSH , IB.SH , IHK zu Lübeck , and the Enterprise Europe Network (Hamburg–Schleswig-Holstein) , this prestigious event selected companies from across Europe to present in a condensed “2–3 minute, one-slide” format, followed by an exclusive networking reception. Our pitch focused on: our suite of medical exoskeletons , our capacity to deploy turnkey neurorehabilitation units , and our role as a trusted technological partner  within European collaborative projects such as REVITAL. This opportunity arose through the active support of the Bilbao Chamber of Commerce  and our long-standing collaboration with WTSH  and the broader Enterprise Europe Network , all of whom play an essential role in helping European SMEs connect, grow, and internationalise. Enterprise Europe Network & WTSH: Strategic Allies for Innovation and Internationalisation The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN)  is the world’s largest support network for SMEs, composed of more than 600 organisations in over 60 countries , funded by the European Union. Through WTSH, companies receive: expert guidance for internationalisation, access to matchmaking platforms and partnership databases, opportunities for participation in R&D consortia, and support that is entirely free of charge , owing to EU funding. Figures such as Paula Decker , Foreign Trade Consultant at WTSH, play a pivotal role in connecting enterprises across Europe, enabling companies such as GOGOA BIOENGINEERING to engage with the innovation ecosystem of northern Germany. What We Learnt at MEDICA 2025: Five Key Trends Shaping Global Healthcare 1. Artificial Intelligence Becoming Tangible Clinical Infrastructure AI is no longer confined to prototypes: it is now embedded in diagnostic imaging, emergency triage, documentation automation and remote patient monitoring. Hospitals increasingly ask not “What can AI do?” but “How do we integrate it responsibly?” 2. Robotics and Exoskeletons Becoming Standard Medical Equipment Exoskeletons are now listed alongside treadmills, balance systems and electrotherapy devices. Their clinical acceptance is accelerating rapidly, driven by evidence, ergonomics and workforce sustainability. 3. Telemedicine and Telerehabilitation Completing the “Hospital Without Walls” Healthcare systems worldwide are shifting towards hybrid models that combine remote follow-up, digital exercise platforms and in-clinic robotics. REVITAL stands as a demonstration of this future made reality , particularly in underserved territories. 4. Workforce Shortages and Ergonomics as Top Priorities The global shortage of clinicians and the rise of musculoskeletal injuries among healthcare workers are shaping investment decisions. Exoskeletons designed for professional use (such as HELK) are now considered essential tools for workforce sustainability. 5. Europe’s Strategic Drive for Collaborative Healthcare Innovation Programmes such as Interreg , Horizon Europe  and EIT Health  are supporting high-impact, multi-country projects aimed at rethinking long-term care, rehabilitation, ageing and digital health. REVITAL fits precisely within this European vision. A Highly Successful MEDICA – and a Springboard for What Comes Next Our participation in MEDICA 2025 concluded with: an exceptionally active presence at the REVITAL stand, a high-profile pitch opening new avenues with university hospitals, clusters and distributors, and the confirmation that our strategy – robotics, neurotechnology and integrated rehabilitation services – aligns perfectly with global healthcare trends. To Our Partners, Clients and Future Collaborators If you are: a director of rehabilitation, neurology, orthopaedics  or occupational health, a hospital manager or policymaker planning to modernise care pathways, or a regional authority exploring solutions for rural or dispersed populations, we would be delighted to share the insights and solutions presented at MEDICA, and to explore how the REVITAL model and GOGOA BIOENGINEERING technologies  can be adapted to your specific context. At GOGOA BIOENGINEERING we remain committed to a simple principle: Technology fulfils its purpose only when it reaches the people who need it most – wherever they may live.

Workforce absenteeism has become one of the most significant threats to industrial competitiveness in Spain. Over the past decade, the average number of hours lost per employee has more than doubled, positioning the country among the European nations with the highest absenteeism rates. In strongly industrial regions such as the Basque Country, this challenge is even more pronounced: the prevalence of temporary incapacity and long-term sick leave consistently exceeds national averages. The consequences are substantial—lost productivity, increased operational costs, pressure on teams, and a gradual erosion of industrial performance. In this context, merely “managing” absenteeism is no longer sufficient; today, it must be prevented . 1. A Challenge Far Beyond Human Resources Absenteeism has become a strategic concern. Its effects extend directly to: Operational continuity  and production capacity Direct and indirect labour costs Workforce planning , particularly in labour-intensive environments Organisational health and team morale , strained by understaffing Long-term competitiveness  in increasingly demanding markets Not surprisingly, sectors with greater physical demands—manufacturing, automotive, metalwork, logistics, construction—record the highest levels of sick leave. 2. The Underlying Causes Behind Rising Absenteeism Although absenteeism has a multifactorial origin, two principal drivers consistently emerge: a) Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) Often caused by repetitive movements, sustained postures, manual handling of loads or overhead work. MSDs lead to chronic pain, accumulated fatigue, reduced performance, and recurrent long-term leave. b) Stress and Mental Health Strain Increasing production pressure, lack of staffing flexibility, high pace of work and cumulative physical effort create conditions where stress and burnout amplify the risk of absence. In an industrial territory such as the Basque Country, these factors interact with particular force, contributing to above-average absenteeism. 3. Prevention as a Strategic Investment Advanced prevention is not an additional cost; it is an investment with direct, measurable returns. Acting before an injury occurs leads to: Reduced pain and improved worker wellbeing Fewer and shorter sick-leave episodes Greater workforce stability Lower turnover and replacement costs More consistent operational performance To be truly effective, however, prevention must be supported by technology, ergonomics, and robust data . 4. The Contribution of GOGOA BIOENGINEERING: Technology Designed to Protect People and Strengthen Industry GOGOA BIOENGINEERING develops advanced biomechanical solutions to reduce physical strain, prevent injuries, and enhance occupational health in high-demand environments. Our approach is built upon three pillars: 4.1 Industrial Exoskeletons We design and integrate passive and active exoskeletons that: Reduce muscular load in the shoulders, neck, and lumbar region Lower physical effort during repetitive or sustained tasks Improve the long-term sustainability of physically demanding work Prevent MSDs linked to overexertion and fatigue 4.2 Advanced Ergonomic Assessment Prior to any implementation, we conduct a professional, data-driven assessment of each workstation: Biomechanical requirements Postural load and fatigue Movement repetition analysis Risk indicators and micro-injury patterns This ensures that the selected solution is appropriate, effective, and designed to deliver tangible improvements. 4.3 Integration, Training, and Ongoing Support Technology achieves its full potential only when integrated correctly. For this reason, we provide: Training for users, supervisors, and H&S teams Guided adaptation during the initial deployment phase Monitoring of real-world usage Evaluation of measurable impact on occupational health This comprehensive model ensures adoption, continuity, and long-term return on investment. 5. Results: Fewer Injuries, Less Sick Leave, Greater Productivity Organisations that implement exoskeletons and advanced ergonomic strategies report: Significant reductions in musculoskeletal discomfort Fewer MSD-related absences Shorter recovery periods Improved workforce retention Sustained increases in operational efficiency In sectors where absenteeism carries a direct economic burden, these results are essential for maintaining competitiveness. 6. Conclusion: Prevention Is Not an Expense — It Is Strategy Spain faces a structural challenge in workforce absenteeism, and the Basque Country—owing to its dense industrial base—experiences this pressure intensely. However, today we have the technological tools to protect people while enhancing industrial performance. When applied with expertise and supported by rigorous assessment, technology becomes a decisive ally. At GOGOA BIOENGINEERING, we are committed to one principle: a workplace where employee health and industrial productivity advance together. If your organisation seeks to reduce absenteeism, improve ergonomic conditions, and implement physical-assistance technologies, our team stands ready to support you. #OccupationalHealth #WorkplaceSafety #IndustrialErgonomics #ExoskeletonTechnology #Absenteeism #WorkerWellbeing #WearableTechnology #Industry40 #IndustrialInnovation #GOGOABIOENGINEERING #BasqueTechnology

On 30 October, GOGOA BIOENGINEERING had the privilege of taking part in the Jornada Forestal Madera , held at the Bilbao School of Engineering (EHU) as part of the XI Basque Wood Week. This event—driven by Baskegur in collaboration with the Basque Government, Osalan and EuskadiPreben, within the PRISMA Project—served as a forum to reflect upon and propose meaningful improvements in the working conditions across the forestry and timber value chain. The conference was formally opened by Lourdes Iscar , Director of Osalan, and Iker Iglesias , Director of Food Industry and Policy at the Basque Government. Osalan went on to present its targeted Action Plan for the forestry sector, together with an in-depth analysis of accident rates within this strategically important field. One of the central segments was the session devoted to the Next Generation Project: Forestry Exoskeletons , which explored the potential of these technologies to enhance ergonomics, reduce risk, and strengthen the wellbeing of professionals working within the forestry sector. In this context, GOGOA  shared its expertise and the progress achieved within the project led by HAZI , in which our exoskeletons are being assessed as supportive tools for tasks such as felling, delimbing, and other physically demanding operations. Furthermore, we presented the advancements of the GAIA Project  (Comprehensive Management for the Prevention, Suppression, and Reforestation of Forest Fires), where sensor-equipped exoskeletons  are being integrated into the protective suits of operators involved in reforestation and fire-suppression activities, enabling continuous health monitoring and the early detection of potential risk situations. GAIA is a project subsidised by the CDTI, originating from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. The event also featured a series of round-table discussions , focusing on the key challenges identified by EuskadiPreben: fostering a genuine culture of prevention, strengthening hands-on training, promoting professional specialisation, and consolidating the role of public administrations in improving working conditions. Representatives from the forestry sector, together with officials from the provincial councils of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, as well as technical leads from Osalan and Baskegur, all contributed to these conversations. The conference concluded with remarks by Inés Álvarez , Deputy Technical Director of Osalan, who presented the final insights before the networking session and formal closure of the event. At GOGOA BIOENGINEERING, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to innovation that elevates workplace safety and occupational health—driving forward technological solutions designed to empower forestry teams and contribute to a safer, more resilient and more sustainable sector.ás seguro, eficiente y sostenible.

From 24 to 26 October 2025, FisioExpo  transformed IFEMA Madrid into the leading epicentre of physiotherapy: over 10,000 m² of exhibition space, more than 170 exhibitors, upwards of 150 workshops and lectures, and thousands of professionals from across Spain and Portugal eager to witness where the profession is truly heading. As representatives of GOGOA BIOENGINEERING , we attended as professional visitors with a clear purpose: to listen attentively to physiotherapists , to observe which emerging technologies are genuinely making a difference, and to determine whether our vision of robotic neurorehabilitation  aligns with the sector’s evolving expectations. FisioExpo 2025: where physiotherapy shifts decisively into the future A single walk through the exhibition hall allowed visitors to move seamlessly from traditional physiotherapy equipment to an array of cutting-edge solutions: diathermy and shockwave systems novel approaches in diamagnetic therapy advanced gait and balance assessment platforms virtual reality and gamified  rehabilitation tools and an increasingly prominent presence of robotics and sophisticated clinical technology The takeaway was unmistakable: physiotherapy is no longer defined merely by treatment couches. The field has entered a technological, data-driven and multidisciplinary era . Three key insights we took from FisioExpo 1. Robotics is no longer a luxury – it is becoming a clinical necessity More and more practitioners now regard exoskeleton-based rehabilitation  and robotic neurorehabilitation  as essential tools for complex cases: stroke, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative diseases, and post-operative orthopaedic recovery. In the corridors, we repeatedly heard: “With exoskeletons, I can safely multiply the number of gait repetitions .” “Patients can see  their progress in a very tangible way.” “We need technology that helps us achieve more in less time .” For us, as designers and manufacturers of medical-grade exoskeletons , this is a powerful validation: robotics has moved from being a promising concept to becoming established clinical reality . 2. The data-free era is over Another undeniable trend emerged: a strong appetite for objective data —and plenty of it. comprehensive strength and range-of-motion metrics detailed logs of repetitions, load, and fatigue digital reports that enhance clinical follow-up Physiotherapy is rapidly evolving into a metrics-based discipline , where patient progression is documented with verifiable, quantifiable information. Our exoskeletons do not merely mobilise the patient; they also capture meaningful data  that supports treatment personalisation, justifies clinical decisions, and clearly communicates progress. 3. Technology, yes—but designed for the physiotherapist’s real-world workflow Physiotherapists are not seeking additional administrative weight. They want intuitive tools  that integrate effortlessly into their daily routine. The most commonly expressed needs included: simple, elegant interfaces pre-configured clinical protocols equipment that can be used by multiple therapists  without friction close technical support  and continuous training Innovation is welcome—but only when it elevates  rather than complicates clinical practice. At GOGOA, this is precisely our design philosophy: solutions that work within real clinical sessions , lasting 45–60 minutes, in real centres, with real patient flow. Where GOGOA BIOENGINEERING fits within this new physiotherapy landscape GOGOA BIOENGINEERING  is a Basque medical technology company dedicated to the design, manufacture, and commercialisation of exoskeletons, medical devices , and robotic neurorehabilitation systems  for clinical environments.

In the furrows and in the warehouses — where the working day is measured in repeated gestures and in arms that sustain the harvest — a deliberate, practical response is being trialled: ExoKOOP , a pilot project that deploys and evaluates passive exoskeletons across Basque cooperatives to mitigate musculoskeletal fatigue and enhance ergonomics without compromising productivity. This is no abstract experiment: it is an intervention in everyday toil, founded upon people, empirical evidence and practicable recommendations. Executive summary — why this matters ExoKOOP arises from a fundamental premise: to protect the health of those who labour the land . Its proposition is both lucid and measurable: introduce passive exoskeletons — devices without motors, based upon variable-deformation elastomers that emulate muscle-like behaviour  — into genuine field and logistics tasks; quantify their effect upon posture, fatigue and performance; and distil that evidence into repeatable protocols for cooperatives. It is technology in the service of work: discreet, functional and humane. What precisely is ExoKOOP? ExoKOOP is an applied pilot with a clear objective: to reduce the risks posed by repetitive movement, sustained postures and manual handling. The methodology is straightforward and rigorous: compare, in authentic working conditions, cohorts operating with and without exoskeletons; record entire shifts; and gather both objective metrics and first-hand testimony from the workforce. The aim is not rhetorical demonstration but quantification and actionable outcomes. Where and which tasks are being tested Trials take place within cooperatives that exemplify the sector’s operational variety: Field — harvesting and transport:  repeated cycles of picking, bending, lifting and moving boxes in seasonal crops (currently tomato and guindilla). Logistics — warehousing:  loading and unloading, sack handling and continuous manual throughput. The approach is realistic and whole-shift focused: we observe work in the round, not in isolated snapshots. Who participates — the institutional and operational partnership KONFEKOOP (Confederation of Cooperatives of Euskadi):  institutional coordinator and conduit to the cooperatives; prevention and operational liaison led by Sergio Achicallende . Barrenetxe S. Coop.:  field trial host for agricultural operations. Tiendas San Isidro de Mungia S. Coop.:  logistics and warehouse validation. GOGOA BIOENGINEERING:  designer and supplier of the passive exoskeletons, provider of implantation methodology and of MonitorEX , the instrumentation platform that renders subjective experience into actionable data. This alliance combines practical expertise with technical responsibility so that the intervention is at once respectful of operations and robust in its methodology. Technology: passive exoskeletons — silent, purposeful support There are no motors, no batteries — assistance is derived from intelligent materiality : Variable-deformation elastomers  that store and return energy in a controlled fashion. The devices accompany movement rather than dictate it, alleviating load without impeding natural motion. Models under evaluation: ExoSoft  (lumbar support), ExoArms  (upper-limb assistance), ExoShoulder  (support for overhead work) and ExoHead  (cervical and scapular relief). Benefits include minimal maintenance, straightforward fitting, compatibility with personal protective equipment and favourable acceptance among workers. Here, innovation is materially modest and functionally profound: simplicity serving the human body. MonitorEX: measuring to decide, not to persuade Where anecdote ends and policy begins, measurement must take the lead. MonitorEX  captures posture and fatigue markers across full shifts, enabling: Quantitative comparison between cohorts with and without devices. Correlation of objective indicators (posture, task time, breaks) with subjective reports (perceived exertion, comfort). Formulation of precise guidance: which device, which setting, and which training regime deliver benefit. The principal data collection commenced in late October, with a notable recording session on 28 October , followed by successive iterations of adjustment and worker feedback. What has been achieved so far — trials, evidence and voices Deployment of multiple passive models across participating cooperatives. Continuous recording during authentic tasks based upon a comparative experimental design. Systematic feedback from workers on perceived relief, fit and usability. Preparation of dissemination materials: newsletters, a best-practice memo and professionally produced video content. Public communication: participation in an episode of Onda Vasca  to present the project and foreground the perspectives of those in the field and the technical team.🎧 Listen here: https://www.ondavasca.com/la-innovacion-ha-entrado-en-el-campo-vasco-con-exoesqueletos-para-proteger-la-salud-de-los-trabajadores-agrarios/ Preliminary findings and a cautious interpretation We do not trade in grand claims. Early indications are encouraging — there is perceived reduction in fatigue in specific tasks and positive reception where fit and instruction are meticulous — yet scaling must await robust statistical analysis and the establishment of training protocols. ExoKOOP seeks operational conclusions, not premature headlines. Professional films and a practical memorandum To make the learning transferable, we are producing a series of professional films that will document: Field demonstrations. Testimonies from workers and technicians. Adjustment procedures and operational recommendations. These films, together with a formal best-practice memorandum, will constitute the practical handbook for those intent on replication. Next steps — a practical roadmap Conclude data collection and complete comparative analyses. Publish the best-practice memorandum with technical recommendations and training protocols. Release the professional video series and convene demonstration days across the Basque provinces. Prepare tailored replication proposals for other cooperatives and logistics centres. For cooperative managers — the proposition in brief ExoKOOP offers a replicable procedure: diagnose, implement, instrument with MonitorEX, measure and deliver a concise, practicable report with clear decisions. If you oversee operations with significant physical demands and wish to evaluate an intervention with rigour, GOGOA BIOENGINEERING, in partnership with KONFEKOOP, will design and execute the pilot so that investment in health returns operational and human dividends.

📹 Full video of the conference available at the end of this article. 21 October 2025. Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia, Erandio. At six o’clock in the evening, the auditorium was already full. Healthcare professionals, physiotherapists, engineers, patients and families gathered with a shared sense of hope: to witness how technology can change lives. The First Conference on Health and Robotic Neurorehabilitation, organised by Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia and Gogoa Mobility Robots, marked a turning point. The event commemorated the first anniversary of the Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit at Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia , as well as the tenth anniversary of GOGOA  — a decade in which the Basque company has led innovation in health-focused robotics, developing solutions that are already transforming motor and cognitive rehabilitation. An alliance that unites science, technology and humanity The conference was formally opened by Carlos F. Isoird, CEO of GOGOA , who shared a clear and inspiring vision: “The rehabilitation of the future will be technological, personalised and profoundly human.” That statement perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the pioneering collaboration between GOGOA and Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia, which has given rise to a unique model of care. Within the Robotic Neurorehabilitation Unit, technology is placed at the service of each individual, adapting to their diagnosis, abilities and recovery goals in a hospital environment. Each treatment is designed in a personalised manner, combining the clinical expertise of the physiotherapy team with the use of advanced robotic devices developed by GOGOA: lower-limb and upper-limb exoskeletons, stimulation systems and virtual reality, among others. Humanising technology During her address, Sara García , neurological physiotherapist and head of the Unit, explained that their daily work begins with understanding each patient’s needs before introducing any technology: “The first step is to know the person — to understand where they are now and where they can go. Technology helps refine the therapy, but the key remains human.” The event also gave a voice to Alberto Yanes , a patient with cervical myelopathy, who recounted his progress since beginning treatment: “I arrived with balance problems and, after just a few sessions, I could already feel a great improvement.” His sincere and humble testimony moved the audience and gave a human face to what innovation truly means: walking again, regaining independence — in short, reclaiming life. The Exo Show: innovation in motion The most eagerly awaited moment of the evening came with the Exo Show  — a live demonstration of the technology developed by GOGOA. Attendees witnessed HANK , the lower-limb robotic exoskeleton designed for gait rehabilitation, in full operation, alongside other solutions currently used within the unit. Isoird explained that the development of these devices is based on a fundamental principle: absolute personalisation . Each system adapts to the patient, not the other way round. Therapists can adjust parameters in real time, ensuring natural and safe movement throughout the rehabilitation process. The scene perfectly encapsulated the central message of the event: technology does not replace the professional — it amplifies their ability to help. Science and shared experience The conference concluded with a round table moderated by Alejandra de Miota , featuring Carlos F. Isoird , Guillermo Asín  (GOGOA’s Director of R&D), Sara García , Dr. Alejandro Durán  (Head of the Neurology Department at Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia), and Alberto Yanes , a patient of the unit. Dr. Durán emphasised the essential role of robotics in the treatment of neurological conditions, both acute and chronic: “Any condition that causes neurological deficit can benefit from robotic neurorehabilitation. It is never too late to begin.” He also stressed: “Technology helps us prevent the loss or paralysis of vital functions, such as eating or walking. Rehabilitation is essential to stop patients from deteriorating or, at the very least, to slow the decline in functional mobility.” For his part, Guillermo Asín  highlighted the value of uniting engineering and medicine: “Useful robotics is not the most spectacular, but the kind that adapts and measures therapy according to the patient’s progress.” A future that is already present The First Conference on Health and Robotic Neurorehabilitation was far more than a record-breaking event. It confirmed that the partnership between GOGOA and Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia is setting a new standard in neurological rehabilitation — a model founded on evidence, personalisation and the union of science and humanity. In a world where neurological challenges increase every year, this alliance demonstrates that clinical robotics is now an essential tool , capable of multiplying opportunities for recovery and restoring hope to thousands of people. The event concluded with heartfelt applause and a shared certainty: innovation does not only move muscles — it moves lives. From GOGOA, we extend our deepest gratitude to all speakers, healthcare professionals, patients, families and attendees who made this historic day possible. Your dedication and enthusiasm inspire us to continue building, together with Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia, the future of robotic neurorehabilitation. 📹 Full video of the event GOGOA Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia neurorrehabilitación robótica jornada GOGOA Hospital Quirónsalud Bizkaia neurorrehabilitación robótica jornada
