Easystep (CEO Kim Se-gon) announced that it will participate in the 3th International Medical Equipment and Hospital Equipment Exhibition ‘KIMES 23’, which will be held at COEX, Seoul from March 26rd (Thursday) to 38th (Sunday).
EASYSTEP started with WalkingRail in 2005 and conducted R&D in an efficient and reasonable manner in clinical settings. By establishing a manufacturing plant that produces rehabilitation medical equipment and manual therapy equipment, we aim to solve all processes independently without outsourcing, and are operating a separate sewing factory along with the manufacturing plant.
Through continuous research with clinical experts, we launched WalkingRail, NewtonSling, and NewtonBox, and created numerous products such as Walking Sling, Silver Sling, Easy Spider, and TWT (Treadmill Walking Trainer). . Currently, Easy Step has established the International Newton Sling Exercise Association (INSEA), is running the ‘Newton Academy’, and is operating a brand called ‘Newton Fit & GYM’.
An Easystep official said, “So far, we have delivered products to 785 organizations. Our products are supplied to various hospitals and clinics such as Seoul Asan Medical Center, Ilsan Hospital, Gunsan Public Health Center, Seoul Hongik Hospital, and National Rehabilitation Research Institute, as well as universities such as Wonkwang Health University, Gunjang University, Howon University, Chung-Ang University, Korea University, and Seoul National University. “In addition, we are connected with trust with many organizations to the extent that our products are used in various day care/nursing homes across the country.”
The main product to be introduced at this exhibition is walking rail. It is a fall-prevention walking training device that installs a movable rail on the ceiling to allow free walking training, play, functional training, and daily life movement training while wearing a suit. It can be used in various places such as day care, nursing homes, university hospitals, and general hospitals. It is becoming.
Easystep even developed a robot rail that changes direction on its own through AI by attaching a sensor to the rail. In addition, the various types of rails, the ability to adjust height while walking, the user’s ability to directly use TTS (direction switching device), and the presence of a rail breaking device were selected as advantages, and Diallock, a spinal stabilization system (EVS) Even functions were applied to the suit.
An official said, “There were too many falling accidents among cranial nerve patients while walking. “While researching ways to prevent this, we came to create the first ceiling-type walking rail, or fall-prevention walking training equipment, in Korea,” he said. “For people with mobility issues, there is the thought that ‘if you fall, you will die.’ “At this time, if we can use equipment to give people the concept of ‘not falling,’ they can walk and work independently, so we developed and produced independent walking training equipment for the purpose of preventing falls,” he explained.
In addition, at this KIMES, Easystep plans to introduce various suits and Newton slings developed by the Suit Research Institute for patients and the elderly, and the Newton Box, a children’s rehabilitation equipment.
On the other hand, KIMES is an exhibition specializing in medical devices and hospital facilities that has grown steadily with the development of the Korean medical industry since its first meeting in 1980. It has transformed into a technology-intensive high-tech industry such as rehabilitation medicine.
KIMES 2023 will feature new technologies and new products suitable for the era of convergence, such as smart healthcare in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, robotic medicine and eco-friendly medical waste facilities, cutting-edge hospital facilities, medical information systems combined with IT technology, and the automobile industry for rapid patient transportation. presents. In addition, it provides a variety of information, including seminars on medical technology, new technology, and overseas marketing, as well as domestic medical industry policy seminars that will show the latest information and direction of the medical industry.
