In this paper we investigated and analyzed about the status of comprehensive rehabilitation robot intervention research project and research results objectively and systematically to analyze the current situation of the project and establish the future business improvement strategy through this to achieve the advanced business.
Method : We analyzed the present status of research projects, patents, thesis achievements, prototype development, clinical trials, and usability evaluations for rehabilitation robot intervention research objectively. In particular, the FGI-Focus Group Interview with business managers and stakeholders has complemented and supplemented the shortcomings of the project.
Result : In 2013 8 research papers were published through research and development, 3 patents, and 5 prototypes of rehabilitation gait exercise devices were developed. In 2014,15 prototypes such as exoskeleton robots, and in 2015, 32 prototypes such as 15 ancillary muscle trainer were produced. Especially, it was analyzed that the possibility of successful development and dissemination of healthcare products and services and commercialization will be high by creating 17 clinical trials and usability evaluations. In the future, it will be possible to revitalize the market of rehabilitation robots by developing and applying additional strategies such as product development for short - term use, development of products for the elderly and the disabled, health insurance public companies insurance cost calculation, and finally the pilot project for rehabilitation robot.
Conclusion : Rehabilitation Robot Intermediary Research started full fledged in 2013.Although it is shorter than advanced countries such as USA, Europe and Japan, it is experiencing rapid technological development by clinical research in the research field of rehabilitation robot for 3 years. However, research on rehabilitation robot intervention in Korea is insufficient from the viewpoint of commercialization, so it is necessary to establish a strategy based on commercialization in the future to carry out business.
