Adamo Robot SL and Universidad Pontificia Comillas Join Forces to Promote Research on Whiplash Treatment through Advanced Robotics
Madrid, September 15, 2024 – Adamo Robot SL has established a strategic collaboration with the Mobios Laboratory at Universidad Pontificia Comillas to develop an innovative research project focused on the application of robotics and the use of thermo-regulated compressed air in the treatment of whiplash. This partnership aims to significantly advance the transfer of scientific and technological knowledge in the field of healthcare.
Adamo Robot’s growing international expansion, specializing in the integration of robotics into therapeutic treatments, is complemented by the expertise of the Mobios Laboratory, renowned for its leadership in the study of biomechanics, the development of biological and biocompatible materials, and the characterization of tissues applied to healthcare. This collaboration will allow a synergy between technological innovation and clinical knowledge, with the potential to generate significant advancements in the care of patients with cervical pathologies.
For Jesús Jiménez Octavio, Deputy Director of the Higher Technical School of Engineering (Comillas ICAI), to which the Mobios Laboratory belongs, this collaboration “highlights the impact that the alliance between technology and health has on people’s quality of life, enabling progress in the development of more precise and effective therapeutic interventions.” While personal attention from a physiotherapist is indispensable for a patient’s comprehensive care, the collaboration between Universidad Pontificia Comillas and ADAMO ROBOT in the healthcare field could optimize certain treatments, improve patients’ quality of life, and speed up their recovery. “This initiative could represent a significant advancement towards personalized rehabilitation and, without a doubt, strengthen Mobios Lab’s research line,” Jiménez affirms.
The project aims, among other objectives, to implement an advanced methodology for observing the mechanical and thermal effects on deep tissues, combining the expertise of the departments of medicine, anatomy, and engineering. Additionally, it seeks to introduce a disruptive, painless, and monitored treatment through thermography, thanks to Adamo Robot’s technology, with the intention of improving therapeutic outcomes and optimizing the resources available in healthcare centers.
The expected impact on the healthcare sector is considerable, as it aims not only to increase the effectiveness of treatments but also to reduce the workload faced by many physiotherapists today. By incorporating this passive robotic therapy, physiotherapy professionals will have more time to dedicate to other interventions that require greater personalization and direct contact, thus improving the quality of patient care.
This innovative project has been approved and funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the Innovation Voucher granted by the Community of Madrid, further underscoring the importance of this initiative in the context of research and technological development in healthcare.
