ORLANDO – It’s a bionic suit, a battery-powered exoskeleton, or as Chris Tagatac calls it, a wearable robot.
Mr. Tagatac, who is paralyzed from the lower ribs down, demonstrated the computer- and battery-operated Ekso Bionics suit at the annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, and he spoke with us about his experience. Watch the video to learn more about him and the technology.
