As rehabilitation technology advances from laboratory concepts to clinical reality, Robotimize reinforces its commitment to evidence-based innovation by supporting JRMT—a peer-reviewed journal addressing the complete research lifecycle from proof-of-concept through real-world implementation.

Robotimize Group is proud to affirm its role as advocates of rigorous rehabilitation research by supporting the Journal of Rehabilitation Methods & Technologies (JRMT), a groundbreaking peer-reviewed publication launched through collaboration between Emerald Publishing and MotusAcademy. This endorsement reflects Robotimize's conviction that technological innovation must be grounded in scientific evidence, transparent methodology, and measurable clinical outcomes—principles that define both the company's product development philosophy and the journal's editorial mission.

The significance of Robotimize's support extends beyond institutional advocacy: Zen Koh, Strategic Advisor at Robotimize Group, and Professor Denny Oetomo, Co-Founder and CTO of Robotimize Group, serve as Managing Editors of JRMT alongside Editors-in-Chief Professor José L. Pons, Professor Milos R. Popovic, and Professor Robert Riener. This leadership bridge between commercial innovation and academic scholarship positions JRMT as a unique platform where industry insights inform research priorities while peer-reviewed science guides technology development.


The Significance of Rehabilitation Research

The rehabilitation technology field has long confronted a critical gap: promising innovations struggle to transition from promising prototypes to validated clinical tools because traditional academic journals focus narrowly on endpoints—polished results rather than the methodological journey that produces them. Early-stage research, novel design approaches, proof-of-concept studies, and real-world implementation challenges often lack appropriate publication venues, creating an "innovation valley of death" where valuable insights disappear between laboratory and clinic.

JRMT addresses this gap by embracing the complete research lifecycle. The journal welcomes research papers presenting established findings, technical papers documenting early-stage innovations and educational methods, practitioner papers offering evidence-based clinical perspectives, and case studies analyzing technology applications including proof-of-concept work. This inclusive scope creates pathways for knowledge that conventional journals exclude—precisely the information that accelerates translation from concept to clinical impact.

Coverage spans rehabilitation robotics, AI integration, prosthetics and orthotics, brain-machine interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, telerehabilitation, functional electrical stimulation, and assistive technologies—the technological landscape where Robotimize's VivantePlexus™ platform and ACE™ partnerships operate.

"Supporting JRMT aligns naturally with how we build rehabilitation technologies at Robotimize. Evidence drives our development process—from early prototypes through clinical validation to real-world deployment. A journal that values methodological transparency and reproducibility as much as outcomes creates the knowledge infrastructure our field desperately needs," said Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO, Robotimize Group.


Bridging Industry Innovation and Academic Rigor

The connection between Robotimize's mission and JRMT's scope becomes evident when examining the company's approach to technology development.

VivantePlexus™—Robotimize's integrated rehabilitation ecosystem—didn't emerge from isolated engineering efforts but from iterative cycles of clinical observation, prototype refinement, pilot studies, outcome measurement, and protocol optimization. Each technology in the platform represents resolved research questions: How do we design hand exoskeletons that accommodate individual anatomical variation? What algorithms enable FES systems to synchronize electrical stimulation with voluntary movement attempts? How can gait training systems adapt difficulty in real-time based on patient performance?

These aren't merely engineering challenges—they're research questions requiring rigorous methodology, systematic documentation, and transparent reporting. JRMT provides the venue where such work receives appropriate scholarly recognition while remaining accessible to practitioners who need actionable insights rather than purely theoretical knowledge.

Similarly, Robotimize's ACE™ partnership model relies on evidence-based technology evaluation. When assessing potential partnerships with specialized rehabilitation technology developers, Robotimize examines published research, clinical validation data, safety profiles, and real-world implementation outcomes. A robust academic literature—the kind JRMT aims to cultivate—makes these assessments possible, ensuring that technologies entering Robotimize's ecosystem meet evidence standards that protect patient safety and clinical effectiveness.


Research Priorities Aligned with Clinical Reality

JRMT's scope directly mirrors the technological domains where Robotimize operates and the research questions the company confronts daily:
+ Rehabilitation Robotics and Application: How do robotic systems optimize therapy dosage while maintaining patient engagement? What biomechanical principles should guide exoskeleton design for diverse patient populations?
+ Artificial Intelligence: How can machine learning algorithms personalize rehabilitation protocols based on real-time performance data? What safety standards should govern AI-driven therapy adjustments?
+ Functional Electrical Stimulation: What stimulation parameters maximize motor recovery while minimizing discomfort? How do we integrate FES with voluntary movement to enhance neuroplastic adaptation?
+ Telerehabilitation: What technologies enable effective remote therapy delivery? How do we maintain treatment fidelity when clinicians aren't physically present?
+ Brain-Machine Interfaces and Neuromodulation: How can non-invasive technologies support cognitive rehabilitation? What ethical frameworks should guide emerging neurotechnology applications?

These research priorities reflect Robotimize's conviction that rehabilitation technology advancement requires more than engineering innovation—it demands systematic inquiry into clinical application, patient experience, workflow integration, and outcome measurement.


Leadership Perspectives: Research as Foundation for Innovation

Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO, Robotimize Group: "Every technology in our VivantePlexus™ platform and every partnership in our ACE™ network began with research questions: What do patients need?

When our leadership team contributes directly to academic publishing standards through editorial roles, we're investing in the knowledge infrastructure that benefits the entire rehabilitation community."

Zen Koh, Strategic Advisor, Robotimize Group; Managing Editor, JRMT: "JRMT fills a critical gap in rehabilitation literature by valuing the research journey as much as the destination. Early-stage innovations, methodological refinements, and implementation challenges all deserve scholarly attention because they contain the insights that accelerate field-wide progress. My advisory role with Robotimize creates opportunities to ensure that industry questions inform research priorities while maintaining the academic independence essential to credible science."

Professor Denny Oetomo, Co-Founder and CTO, Robotimize Group; Managing Editor, JRMT: "As both technology developer and academic researcher, I've experienced the frustration of valuable work lacking appropriate publication venues. JRMT's inclusive scope—welcoming technical papers, practitioner perspectives, and proof-of-concept studies—creates pathways for knowledge that traditional journals exclude. This benefits everyone: researchers gain recognition for important work, developers access insights that inform better products, and clinicians find evidence that guides practice. Robotimize's support reflects our understanding that robust academic literature elevates the entire rehabilitation technology field."
