Tunisian health-tech startup ReMotion Rehab is transforming the rehabilitation landscape with its innovative platform that combines immersive technologies and “serious games.” Recognized for its potential to address a significant global need, ReMotion has been included in the portfolio of the Fuzé program, an initiative by Digital Africa backed by Proparco, the private sector financing arm of Agence Française de Développement Group.
Founded in 2020 by Ahmed Nabli and Moez Lachneb, ReMotion’s platform aims to serve the estimated 2.4 billion people worldwide who require rehabilitation services, according to the World Health Organization. By facilitating and automating certain aspects of therapists’ work, the platform allows them to dedicate more time to personalized patient monitoring and support. ReMotion Rehab offers a diverse range of rehabilitation exercises presented as serious games, making the recovery journey more engaging and enjoyable for patients. These games are adaptive and evolve based on each patient’s specific needs and progress, ensuring a tailored and effective rehabilitation experience.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance we have received from Digital Africa’s Fuzé program,” said Ahmed Nabli, Co-Founder and CTO of ReMotion Rehab. “Their expertise and network have been instrumental in our development, and we highly recommend the Fuzé program to any startup seeking to drive innovation and growth in the African tech ecosystem.”
ReMotion’s gamified platform not only enhances patient engagement but also improves the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The company’s business model, which combines a subscription-based service with equipment sales, aligns with the growing tele-rehabilitation market, projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2032 (Global Market Insights, 2023).
The Fuzé program, supported by Proparco, aims to foster opportunities, facilitate funding, and increase the visibility of startups developing technological solutions for Africa’s economic development. Its tiered investment structure provides startups with various levels of funding, including ideation tickets of €20,000, follow-on tickets of €30,000, and cumulative tickets of €50,000, catering to different stages of development.
