Company Overview

MedRhythms is pioneering the development of next-generation neurotherapeutics designed to improve walking, mobility, and related functional outcomes via a proprietary, patented technology platform. Our mission is to help patients regain their mobility, by expanding access to patient-centered, world-class medical devices.

Our groundbreaking technology uses sensors, software, and music to deliver evidence-based interventions to improve walking. At its core is a cutting-edge treatment mechanism based on the latest neuroscience research in music: rhythm can be used clinically to directly target the human motor system and improve functional outcomes in walking. It's our mission to see these outcomes realized for the millions of people worldwide who struggle with walking impairments, in conditions including stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. In late 2023, MedRhythms launched InTandem, an FDA-authorized, prescription-only, home-use device intended to improve walking in adults with chronic stroke, and secured a new unique HCPCS reimbursement code in 2024. In early 2025, MOVIVE, our second FDA-authorized, prescription-only device was released to support gait rehabilitation and motor function for people living with Parkinson's disease.

We are committed to developing evidence-based treatments, and have conducted clinical trials with leading research institutions across the U.S., including Johns Hopkins, Boston University, Mount Sinai, Cleveland Clinic, and Spaulding Rehabilitation.
