Lusio Rehab

What Lusio Rehab does

Lusio Rehab is an Australian-headquartered, privately-held company founded in 2016 that develops LusioMATE, a Class 1 medical device physical therapy ecosystem. The system pairs proprietary miniaturized Bluetooth wearable motion sensors (designed to attach to any body part and capture both gross and fine motor movement) with a cross-platform app (iOS, Android, smart TVs) running a library of 20+ interactive exergames, plus a clinician dashboard that enables remote monitoring of adherence and remote updating of movement goals between appointments. The product targets individuals aged 4 to 94 with conditions including stroke, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, autism, chronic pain, MSK injuries, motor neuron disease, and oncology, and is positioned to address the well-documented problem of low home-therapy adherence (cited as low as 15%).

Lusio Rehab operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a 100+ partner channel network spanning allied health providers, pediatric hospitals, and disability services organizations in 11 countries (Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia). The company is a registered NDIS provider in Australia (Provider Number 4050026071) and supports funding pathways across NDIS categories plus Workcover and third-party insurers. Revenue is generated through hardware outright purchase ($1,490 + GST for the sensor pack plus $348 + GST annual software license), a quarterly subscription option ($357 + GST, Australia only), and accessory sales (replacement straps at $50-$75).

The company is founder-led (Armin as Head of Tech, with co-founders Justin and Chris from the recruitment sector), small (11-50 employees), bootstrapped with only a disclosed 2017 accelerator placement at Remarkable, and has received industry recognition including the ATSA Australian Innovation of the Year 2023 and ADSCA Best Assistive Tech Product 2023. There are no disclosed institutional funding rounds, acquisitions, or AI/ML capabilities in the source material.
