Wearable Devices Receives $750K Israel Innovation Authority Grant For Neural Wristband Clinical Pilot

The non-dilutive grant for the program was provided by the Israel Innovation Authority

 

YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ:WLDS, WLDSW))) ("Wearable Devices" or the "Company"), a technology growth company specializing in AI-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced it has received a grant approval from the Israel Innovation Authority ("IIA") for a total budget of $750,000 to finance a clinical pilot program in partnership with Soroka University Medical Center ("Soroka Hospital").

The pilot program will seek to validate the Company's Mudra Link neural wristband as a rehabilitation tool for patients suffering from impaired grip-force control following motor-cortex brain injuries. Utilizing patented surface neural ElectroMyography ("EMG") technology, the system provides real-time, objective biofeedback to train modulation, anticipation, and correction of grip force. The pilot program highlights the broader applicability of the Mudra technology stack, extending its proven EMG capabilities into monitoring domains that naturally complement the Company's existing work in neural interaction.
