Medisbee, a medical physical AI company, said on the 30th that it unveiled key clinical study results for its rehabilitation robot "ROBOARM" at the international conference hosted by the Korean Society of Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS Asia-Pacific 2025) on the 24th–25th.

Developed with physical AI technology, ROBOARM is a robot that automatically and repeatedly performs patient-tailored treatment paths. It can be applied to both arms and legs (upper and lower limbs), and when medical staff set up simple movements for about three minutes, the robot repeatedly delivers rehabilitation optimized for the patient.

According to the company, the clinical study targeted patients with limited joint range of motion. ROBOARM was able to restore three types of joint ranges of motion per session, and the range of motion before and after a single treatment improved by an average of about 20 degrees.

Overall treatment safety was also confirmed. The time therapists spend on repetitive rehabilitation tasks decreased from 30 minutes to within 5 minutes.

Lim Jun-yeol, Medisbee CEO (orthopedic surgery professor at Gangnam Severance Hospital), said, "Through this clinical study, when the 'optimal treatment path (Guide Path)' is generated with a therapist's expertise, ROBOARM precisely carries it out, enabling us to achieve both treatment efficacy and safety," adding, "We plan to continue various studies to concretely verify ROBOARM's efficacy and safety."
