Argo
Medical Technologies mission is to fundamentally change the health and
life experiences of individuals with spinal cord injuries.
The
ReWalk™ is the result of this mission; it is a world-class walking
system that will allow paraplegics to bring walking into their daily
lives once again. Culminating over a decade of research and
development, the ReWalk represents the first truly practical, real
world, walking solution for persons with lower limb disabilities.
Argo
founder Dr. Amit Goffer was inspired to develop the ReWalk exoskeleton
unit because of his own personal story. Dr. Goffer is quadriplegic and
he founded Argo in 2001. His goal was to develop a product that would
enable persons with spinal cord injuries to walk again. Over the past
decade, Argo has grown from a small research and development start-up
based in Israel to an international company with headquarters in the US,
Germany and Israel.
Argo has been working internationally with
leading rehabilitation centers in testing and developing a
rehabilitation model of the ReWalk. As a result of these efforts, Argo
has been able to develop the ReWalk Personal, the next phase of
exoskeleton technology designed exclusively for use in everyday life.
Employing Argo's proprietary technology, the ReWalk Personal is designed
for everyday use. Launched in 2012, the ReWalk Personal is currently
available throughout Europe. In the United States, the ReWalk
rehabilitation is currently deployed in rehabilitation clinics and the
ReWalk Personal is awaiting FDA clearance.
