What CoMoveIT does
CoMoveIT NV is a Belgian medical device company, founded in 2021 as a spin-off of KU Leuven Campus Bruges, that develops and supplies intelligent head and head-foot control systems for powered wheelchairs. The company targets individuals with complex movement disorders — Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and tetraplegia — who cannot operate standard joystick controls due to involuntary movements, spasticity, or limited voluntary movement. Its product portfolio comprises CoMoveIT Smart (adaptive AI-enabled steering launched in 2022), CoMoveIT Flex (premium head/head-foot control with up to 9 sensor functions launched September 2025), and CoMoveIT Drive (affordable proportional head control launched September 2025). The core technology pairs multi-sensor arrays (up to 9 functions, 50g–15kg activation range) with self-learning algorithms that continuously adapt control to individual user movement patterns and auto-calibrate at each start.
CoMoveIT commercializes through a B2B2C channel model: it sells hardware to authorized wheelchair manufacturers and dealers (Permobil, Ottobock, Sunrise Medical, Life & Mobility, Dietz Power, SKS Rehab, and others across 16+ countries in Europe and Oceania) that perform assessments, installation, and delivery after CoMoveIT Academy training. Products are CE-marked, fully compliant with EU MDR, manufactured to ISO 13485 standards, and generally reimbursable through healthcare systems — the company reports nearly 100% reimbursement approval. The technology also integrates with broader assistive ecosystems, including Xbox Adaptive Controllers for gaming, Kinova robotic arms, speech computers, and environmental control systems, with compatibility across R-Net Omni, Q-Logic, Curtis, and LiNX wheelchair control platforms. The firm operates from Bruges (Assebroek), Belgium with a small leadership team and supports no disclosed external funding rounds or parent company.
