Stroke is one of the leading causes of physical impairment. According to SingHealth, between 25 to 40 percent of stroke survivors suffer minor to moderate impairments. Other causes of neurological system damage that affect the use and mobility of the hands include cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and injuries to the hand.

Not so long ago, if one suffered from neurological damage to the hands, the rehabilitative options were costly and confined to the hospital or clinic in which the therapy was administered. This limited patients’ access to the frequent treatment required to bring noticeable improvements.

This all changed in 2016 with the founding of Roceso Technologies, a medical device start-up based in Singapore, which created the EsoGLOVE. Roceso is the brainchild of Jane Wang – its CEO – and co-founders Dr Yap Hong Kai (CTO) and Dr Raye Yeow (Scientific Advisor).
