SUPPORTING BETTEROUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS

Ekso Bionics has made headlines this quarter for our innovative technology and leadership.

Ekso Bionics was awarded

Internet-of-Things (IoT) Healthcare Best Healthcare Robotics Solution: Ekso Bionics, EksoGT.

Ekso Bionics was awarded

Excellence in BionicsManufacturing Services - CA, USA

Ekso Bionics exoskeletons are engineered for patients and therapists alike. By promoting earlier mobility, we can help those recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury get back on their feet sooner. At the same time, we can reduce the physical strain on therapists and the likelihood of injury during rehabilitation sessions.

We designed EksoGT™ for use in clinical environments. When it’s incorporated into a therapeutic practice, the impact can be profound: improved patient outcomes, improved operational efficiencies, and a reputation in the medical and patient communities for a willingness to embrace the latest, and the best, tools available.

From a young age Russ DeLonzor knew he wanted to do something to help people. His brother had a spinal cord injury in a bridge jumping accident at the age of 16 and Russ spent his youth figuring out ways to modify and adapt things so his brother could participate in activi-ties with his friends.

Russ was advising at UC Berkeley when he first learned about Ekso Bionics. He ended up “cold calling Nathan Harding off of LinkedIn because he wanted to see if he could help and be a part of the team”.

Russ joined Ekso Bionics in October 2015 and brings 25 years of medical device experience with him. Mr. DeLonzor holds an MBA and earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from California State University, Sacramento. His experience and education only benefit his current position as Vice President of Operations. In this short time, Russ has started a new mobility project and helped streamline collaboration between the manufacturing, engineering and regulatory departments.

When asked what he believes in most about Ekso, DeLonzor replies, “Ekso has the best people and the best technology to improve the lives of people living with disabilities and augment the capability of others. We are unique because we have developed a technology platform that can help such a broad range of people—from medical, industrial, military, and even more applications later down the line.”

Russ believes that the biggest challenge for Ekso Bionics will be moving from early adopters to becoming standard of care. Developing clinical evidence and expanding our FDA indications for use will help the company do just that.

When Russ isn’t helping to change the world you can find him on the water, blaring Boston, boating with family and friends. Native to the Bay Area, DeLonzor knows his way around all of the good spots! His family enjoys boating, wake boarding and camping. Additional fun facts about Russ are: he met his wife at an ice cream parlor in Napa 35 years ago and he still enjoys their favorite praline pecan ice cream; that he tries to burn off with a 5 mile run at Point Richmond every morning. Plus he gets to carpool with his son to work.

Russ’ dedication and experience are just what Ekso needs for the next phase of innovation.

Together we’re #movingasone

The first time you meet her, you know you’re in the presence of someone special. Katherine Strausser, Principal Engineer at Ekso Bionics, has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon, MS and PH.D in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley.

Love at first grad projectBorn and raised in Texas, Katie, got her start with Ekso Bionics in the early days as a grad student. “It’s a hard question” Katherine says after being asked how long she’s been with Ekso. “I started collaborating with them on a grant when they were Berkeley Bionics at UC Berkeley and about four years later, they hired me.” It’s true, Katie has been with Ekso almost since the beginning and is truly a pillar of knowledge in the robotics field. She always

pictured herself working in space exploration robotics, but when presented with the opportunity to work on robotics for stroke rehabilitation from Professor Homayoon Kazerooni, she jumped and ‘never looked back’. “I have always been driven to be a part of something that has the ability to make people’s lives better” said Katie.

Not only was she apart of it, she is a creator. Katie did the original work on the human machine interface that developed into what is now known as ProStep in the EksoGT™ interface. ProStep is how the user initiates the step based on body positioning. It gives the user a more fluid and natural step and allows them to be in control of their own walk.

When asked what she believes in most about Ekso, she confidentially replies “Our mission is to help people live healthier, happier and more productive lives. It’s undeniable that we have assembled an amazing team that is so passionate about our message; that is the key to our success.”

The woman behind the engineering An avid outdoor woman, you can find Katie training for her next triathlon, trail running or hiking when she’s not at work. However, don’t be surprised if you find her jamming on her bagpipes either. You read that right, bagpipes! Katie is a member of the Piedmont Highlanders Drums & Pipes and has performed in numerous parades. Her other hobbies? Helping run programs for young girls in summer engineering intern programs, teaching Robots for Rehabilitation classes at St. Mary’s College of California, organizing the intern program at Ekso Bionics and being the mastermind behind Grilled Beasts (the monthly potluck held at HQ). If you think she’s Wonder Woman, she pretty much is. Coincidentally when I asked her which movie she would star in if given the opportunity, it was the same- Wonder Woman, as the main character or a kick butt Amazon woman!Other fun facts about Katie go something like this: Her favorite book is either Moloka’i or The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett, her guilty food pleasure is queso (Hey, she’s from Texas!) and if she could vacation anywhere it would be a backpacking trip around Ireland and Scotland. I’m pretty sure there would be some sweet jam sessions along the way!

Russ DeLonzor

& RECOGNITIONS

MEET...

I grew up in South Florida where I spent most of my time playing travel soccer all throughout the state of Florida. I was always into the outdoors and fishing or on a boat playing water sports. I moved to CT during my junior year and finished high school. As I was living in Connecticut and going to college I was involved in a car accident that left me with a T12 incomplete spinal cord injury.

After spending a few winters in a wheelchair up in CT, I decided it was time to relocate back home to south Florida where it’s flat and sunny, to finish my degree in Marketing

and International business. I currently attend Florida International University and will be graduating this December. I did my rehab in CT at Gaylord Rehabilitation Hospital in Wallingford, CT. I spent two months in inpatient rehab learning the ins and outs of my SCI. I started walking in leg braces in therapy and continue to do so. I first got introduced to Ekso as an outpatient and started to get pretty good at walking. I joined Ekso when I was offered an ambassadorship while continuing my rehab at Gaylord. I would help with training the Physical therapists as the hospital updated the software in ekso, it was free therapy for me so I was more than happy to help out... Word got back to the company I walked well in the device and they called me to do a test demo in Tampa in early 2013. I was ecstatic to join team Ekso because I immediately saw the impact it could make in someone’s life. The rest is history.

I am excited for this opportunity to do a Podcast for Ekso about SCI injuries and stroke injuries. But am definitely more excited about the SCI podcast because its impacted and changed my life. Out of the podcast, I hope to help others going through an SCI injury and letting them know they aren't alone. That they can do anything and everything they set their mind to. That you can live an amazing fulfilling life even with an SCI! I hope this podcast can bring the SCI community together and show able bodied people that deep down we are the same. A lot of people look down or feel pity for people inflicted with these kinds of injuries and don’t look at us as regular normal people, I want to change that.

EKSO BIONICS’ EKOSKELETONS ARE HELPING PEOPLE WALK AGAIN

On repeat in my car: Anything by Drake. That’s my go to jam session

If I could vacation anywhere it would be somewhere tropical, maybe Indonesia or southern Thailand. I love the ocean and the vast sea life, I hear Indonesia has the most lavish coral reefs in the world. I’d love to fish and snorkel there.

One fun fact about me: Last summer I studied abroad in Portugal, Spain, and France.

Ekso Bionics was honored to help a child Make-A-Wish in July! Sammuel is an 11-year-old boy that joined the#MakeAWish foundation. His wish was to “go somewhere special like an exoskeleton research center where studies are done with wearable robots. This is my wish because I want to help with giving them ideas on development and giving ideas on how they can help kids like me. I feel it would be good in helping people walk, giving them the strength to do regular things.”

Some exoskeletons have been covered by insurance for personal use.

We were invited to demonstrate the Ekso GT on a very well-known German TV quiz show for children named “1,2 oder 3” in front of 500 people at the Bavaria Studios in Munich.

The show is celebrating its 40th anniversary and is also very popular among adults. The audience was excited to learn more about the Ekso GT and were totally engaged in what we were doing. Our Ambassador shared his personal story and described the benefits of using the Ekso GT since his accident before our PT explained the exoskeleton technology and how patients benefit profoundly when its incorporated in therapeutic practice.

It was a great and fun experience and we are excited to watch the show which will be broadcasted in September.

The Roadshow gave us the opportunity to introduce Ekso Bionics and the vision for the exoskeleton followed by a product demonstration in front of 150 Vodafone customers who were amazed by the technology and the impact on human health which led to a highly vivid and interactive session.

AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT

We were working on devices to get him along and do sports. We even built him a modified jetski so he could ride. We were always trying to make modifications on things. It was years and years of wanting to do something like this

. . . but the technology wasn’t there.
