B-temia Ltd.

Demographics support strong growth in the HME sector and B-TEMIA is well positioned to participate in this growth. The first product in B-TEMIA’s HME portfolio, Keeogo™ is designed for individuals who have limited walking endurance or mobility issues such as difficulty walking more than a few steps, climbing stairs, carrying an object for a short distance or standing in line for a long period of time.

Dermoskeletics, the science behind the Dermoskeleton™ 

B-TEMIA’s product portfolio incorporates the Company’s proprietary Dermoskeleton™  technology, which is the result of an emerging science we call “Dermoskeletics”. Dermoskeletics studies the interaction between the human body and its environment while assisted with a skin-type motorized mechanism.

Considered as a pure human-machine interface, the Dermoskeleton™ eliminates musculoskeletal stress on the body structure by injecting biomechanical energy at the joints, and providing mechanical assistance to the users for the restoration, maintenance or augmentation of their biomechanical functions.

The Center for Research in Dermoskeletics is an onsite applied research facility focused on the continuous improvement of the B-TEMIA technology platform and advancing the science of dermoskeletics. Physically located on the Campus of the University of New Brunswick, this co-enterprise partnership was born out of the collaboration between UNB and B-TEMIA, sponsored by B-TEMIA with the generous support of the Government of New Brunswick and the Federal Government through various programs. Under the direction of Dr. Chris McGibbon as Scientific Director and Dr. Kevin Englehart as Executive Coordinator, the Center will employ over 13 Post Doctoral, Doctoral, Master’s and Undergraduate students from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Faculty of Kinesiology over the next 5 years.
