Movement is a
Human Right
Restoring the ability to walk for those who previously could not afford it
Improve Your Walking with Smart Muscle Stimulation
The EvoWalk device uses precisely timed muscle stimulation to rehabilitate walking form, prevent falls, and bring confidence back to your walking.
EvoWalk is the first Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) device that aims to use Artificial Intelligence to reliably track walking patterns and personalize stimulation.
Bringing Freedom of Mobility to Everyone
In early trials, the EvoWalk device has improved the walking form of Multiple Sclerosis patients, ALS patients and Stroke victims.
The EvoWalk aims to improve your walking speed, reduce fatigue and prevent you from tripping.
The Team
Pierluigi is a neuroscientist by training, holding a degree in cognitive science from UC Berkeley.
Prior to Evolution Devices, Pierluigi was a researcher at UCSF in the lab of neurosurgeon Dr. Chang, focusing on plasticity in the brain. Evolution Devices stems from his father’s battle with MS and foot drop, in which he found that an affordable FES device was nonexistent. Pierluigi also founded the NeuroTech Club at Berkeley, where all the co-founders met.
Pierluigi Mantovani
CEO & Founder
Andrew recieved his PhD in Bioengineering from Vanderbilt University.
He found his passion for neurorehabilitation technology after a traumatic accident that resulted in spinal cord injury. Andrew's passion for engineering lies in creating state of the art rehabilitation technologies that can be accessible to all.
Andrew Ekelem
Chief Product Officer
Juan is an Electrical Engineer by trade, graduating with a degree in EECS from UC Berkeley.
He has extensive experience with embedded systems and circuit design, specifically geared towards developing assistive devices. After his grandfather lost mobility on the right side of his body due to a brain tumor, Juan became passionate about using his skills to create technology to empower and enhance humanity. Born and raised in El Salvador.
