A startup built to transform stroke rehabilitation is now preparing to represent India on the global stage.
RehabVeda, an Ahmedabad-based neuro-rehabilitation startup, has been selected among the Top 30 companies for VivaTech Paris 2026—one of the world’s leading technology and innovation events.
This recognition highlights RehabVeda’s mission to make advanced rehabilitation more accessible for stroke survivors through brain-computer interface (BCI), artificial intelligence, and robotics.
What Is VivaTech Paris?
Viva Technology (VivaTech) is Europe’s largest startup and technology event, held annually in Paris, France.
The event brings together thousands of startups, investors, technology leaders, corporations, researchers, and policymakers from around the world. It serves as a platform for showcasing breakthrough innovations, building partnerships, attracting investment, and exploring international growth opportunities.
Being selected among the Top 30 companies places RehabVeda among a select group of startups recognised for innovation, scalability, and real-world impact.
The Challenge RehabVeda Is Solving
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Even after hospital treatment, many survivors continue to struggle with weakness or loss of hand function, making daily activities difficult.
Recovery often becomes challenging due to:
- Limited access to specialised rehabilitation centres
- Travel and cost barriers
- Inconsistent therapy schedules
- Lack of structured home-based rehabilitation options
RehabVeda was founded to address these challenges and make quality rehabilitation accessible beyond hospital walls.
The Technology Behind the Recognition
RehabVeda has developed India’s first BCI-enabled hand rehabilitation platform designed for stroke survivors.
The system follows a simple process:
EEG captures brain signals → AI interprets movement intention → Robotic glove assists hand movement
When a patient thinks about moving their hand, brain signals are captured through EEG sensors. RehabVeda’s Neuro-AI Engine analyses these signals in real time, and the robotic glove assists the intended movement.
The technology is designed around neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections after injury—helping patients actively engage in their rehabilitation journey.
From Ahmedabad to the Global Stage
RehabVeda’s growth has been driven by patient impact and continuous innovation.
Key milestones include:
- Supporting more than 1,000 recoveries across 25 Indian cities
- National recognition through Shark Tank India
- Selection among the Top 100 Deep-Tech Innovations at Bharat Innovates 2026 under the Ministry of Education, Government of India
- Selection among the Top 30 companies for VivaTech Paris 2026
These achievements reflect the growing recognition of India’s healthcare innovation ecosystem and RehabVeda’s contribution to it.
