Wearable medical device company dorsaVi Limited (ASX:DVL) has
today announced it will commence launch of ViMove in the United
States following 510K clearance by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for measuring, recording, and reporting on
movement and muscle activity of the lower back / lumbar spine.
“This is a terrific achievement for dorsaVi and opens up
substantial opportunities for us in the United States. dorsaVi has
successfully implemented a stepped approach in the US, one of the
biggest market opportunities for the company with approximately
280,000 physical therapists and 660,000 physicians,” said dorsaVi
CEO, Andrew Ronchi.
ViMove consists of wearable sensors that are placed on the body
to measure movement and muscle activity. Patients can be assessed
through a series of movements or exercises performed in-clinic, or
outside the clinic, at home or at work, where ViMove can monitor
their everyday activities, and provide immediate biofeedback to the
patient and a concise report for the healthcare practitioner.

before a manufacturer can introduce a device into commercial
distribution for the first time in the US market.

couple of weeks, we will be adding to our established sales team to
meet the anticipated growing demand that has been generated from
international awareness and success.”
“Healthcare reform in the US is mandating quantitatively
generated data; ViMove gives healthcare providers the ability
to truly assess movement of the lower back and will aid
in the development of treatment plans for many patients We are
extremely excited about ViMove’s FDA clearance.”
