Another UHN Start-Up Goes Public!
February 24, 2022
Founded in 2012 based on UHN technology invented by Dr. Milos Popovic, Director at UHN’s KITE Research Institute, MyndTec Inc. is currently working to develop MyndMoveTM – a commercialized product that delivers electrical stimulation to paralyzed muscles reproducing movement in arms and hands and has a sponsored research agreement with UHN to expand the applications of this technology.
The innovative technology behind MyndMoveTM is helping stroke and spinal cord injury patients regain movement in their upper extremities that they didn't know they'd have again. And, in many cases, function is being restored many years post-injury.
In 2014, Dr. Popovic received the UHN Commercialization-sponsored Inventor of the Year award(link is external) for the creation of MyndMoveTM – view the historical video here(link is external).
“Congratulations to MyndTec on this milestone achievement! With a CSE listing, the company stands to significantly expand opportunities to support development and expansion of its life-changing technology to help more patients regain independence post-injury,” says Mark Taylor, Director, Commercialization at UHN. “We are thrilled to continue to partner with MyndTec in ongoing commercialization of research that aims to further the development of MyndMoveTM for wider application.”
