Khymeia

What Khymeia does

Khymeia Group is an Italian medical technology company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Padua, with an R&D center in Catania. The company develops and sells the VRRS (Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System), an internationally patented Class I medical device that combines virtual reality, telerehabilitation, and proprietary magnetic kinematic sensors for neurological, orthopedic, and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation. The product portfolio is built around the VRRS Evo central hub, supported by clinical variants (Physio, Compact, TR), home rehabilitation devices (HomeKit, K-Wand, K-Sensor), specialized systems (Moonwalker omnidirectional treadmill, Neurowave for disorders of consciousness, OAK for fall prevention, TOR multi-touch device), and the KLOUD cloud platform for data management and the MedicoAmico mobile app for remote patient monitoring.

Khymeia generates revenue primarily through one-time medical device sales (perpetual licenses) to hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and healthcare institutions, supplemented by professional services (training, implementation, technical support) and recurring software/subscription components through the KLOUD platform. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, supported by presence at major healthcare exhibitions (MEDICA Düsseldorf, Arab Health Dubai) and partnerships with research institutions and territorial healthcare systems (ASL networks in Italy).

The company serves public and private healthcare providers, clinical research institutions, and individual patients across neurological, orthopedic, cardiorespiratory, pediatric, and serious-disorders-of-consciousness use cases. It maintains strategic technology partnerships with the European Space Agency (ESA), USAID, the Italian RIN neuroscience network, and MIT (foundational research). Clinical efficacy is supported by Cochrane Review validation (2011 and 2014 updates) and multiple randomized controlled trials, with peer-reviewed publications dating to 2000 in telerehabilitation.

Core offering

Khymeia develops and sells the VRRS (Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System), an internationally patented Class I medical device ecosystem that combines virtual reality, telerehabilitation, and advanced sensor technologies for neurological, orthopedic, and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation. The company sells physical hardware systems (VRRS Evo, Moonwalker, TOR, OAK, Neurowave, HomeKit, etc.) along with the KLOUD cloud platform to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare institutions, enabling continuity of care from clinical settings to the home through a Hub & Spoke network architecture.

Product overview

Khymeia is an Italian medical technology company founded in 1998 specializing in virtual reality rehabilitation and telerehabilitation systems. The product portfolio is built around the VRRS (Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System) platform, a patented ecosystem of interoperable devices designed for neurological, cardiorespiratory, and orthopedic rehabilitation. The core VRRS Evo system serves as the central HUB for hospital and clinic settings, while specialized modules address different clinical contexts: Physio for intensive clinical use with vertical display, Compact for outpatient practices, TR for territorial/remote sites, and HomeKit for home-based rehabilitation. TeleCockpit manages remote devices and enables telerehabilitation sessions, MedicoAmico provides mobile patient monitoring, and OAK addresses fall prevention. Specialized systems include Neurowave for coma and minimum consciousness state assessment, Moonwalker for 360° omnidirectional gait training with weight relief, and TOR for multi-touch interactive rehabilitation. All devices interconnect through the KLOUD cloud platform, enabling Hub & Spoke network architectures from hospital to home settings.
