Mygo, helping to improve the mobility and the lives of people with spinal cord injuries and those with neurological disabilities.
The Mygo is a soft garment exoskeleton with built in conductive transfer electrodes. It creates and boosts electrical signals to different nerves and muscles sequentially, throughout the body, helping patients stand, walk, and move functionally, where previously they were unable, or with difficulty.
Over 80% of these people would benefit from our product.
Our Mission is to develop our affordable, innovative, wearable technology to improve the mobility and the lives of spinal cord injured patients, and those with neurological disabilities – in a global field.
There are an estimated 1 Billion people Worldwide who have a neurological disorder (Stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, ALD), and every year, around the world, between 250 000 and 500 000 people suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) or a traumatic brain injury.

Boosting the electrical signal to muscles in elderly patients to help them with their continued mobility, which may have significant implications in falls prevention, hip fractures, and hospital admissions.
Testing has taken place over the last few months with patients at our clinic in Scotland.
Our wearable garments work with either a pressure trigger, a movement sensor or a manual switch to initiate movement and gait.
The garments have 32 strategically placed printed conductive electrodes, that can be activated and programmed, dependent upon the patient’s condition. The trigger starts and stops the movement whilst the software fires the muscles and nerves sequentially.
We have used this method to test our theory and our product with Stroke, Parkinson’s, MS and SCI Paraplegic patients. The different neurological conditions using differing electrodes, firing in different orders.
With the garment, a T6 (Complete) paraplegic patient has been able to stand-up, sit down, stand independently and step. A patient with MS who had been previously wheelchair bound and immobile for 10 years is able to walk independently with a walking aid, whilst wearing the garment. Better control of movement patterns & improvements in gait were also achieved when testing the garment with Stroke patients.
Or as their condition improves or deteriorates, negating the existing need to purchase multiple pieces of equipment.
This project aims to develop our prototypes, through further development and clinical trials to become a market ready product.
