Attendency at Exposanità 2022 in Bologna. Many industries and expert players as clinic personnel, investors and business owner had the opportunity to know what are the key points of Phicube testing the device and granting their personal opinion and feedback. Phicube team thank all our guests of the stand hoping to keep in touch through our socials and website!

The intellectual property of our technical solutions has been filled at the beginning of May 2022 and is now “patent pending” under the name “Dispositivo per la riabilitazione bilaterale” (Registration n. IT 102022000009317). Since the R4R team is born from the research activities conducted within the STIIMA institute of the National Research Council of Italy, the IP is currently owned by CNR itself, but the negotiation of an exclusive license or an assignment of patent rights to R4R is already planned. CNR typically facilitates this process with inventors, to promote the growth of spin-off companies. The patent is co-owned by Cariplo Foundation and National Research Council of Italy, and an agreement to transfer patent rights from Cariplo Foundation to the National Research Council of Italy has already been signed.

A long journey is starting! In the context of 2031, PhiCube won an accelerator program with Bio4Dreams incubator. They will offer us a series of services useful to proceed with the project in various fields such as legal issues and some others based on necessity. We hope this path will be rich in opportunities where PhiCube can demonstrate its potential and create an enormous impact on user life!

The preliminary usability test has been conducted in collaboration with ''Fight The Stroke" foundation thanks to the disponibility of Francesca Fedeli, the director of the association. This test has been completely voluntary from the user's point of view and unexpectedly, all the user's parents had the pleasure to allow their children to participate. These users are very special: they suffer from CP (cerebral palsy) part of a group of disorders that appear in early childhood. The signs of the symptom can be different but commonly include poor coordination, stiff and weak muscles and tremors. The feedback collected during the campus has shown the big power of the device in attracting and involving the child. Future tests will be conducted to keep testing the device and validate it. This campus has been a strong motivation for keeping working on this incredible device exploiting is maximum potential.
