eXyo is a UK-based SME that intends to address the issue of a lack of effective therapy solutions for fall prevention. This lack is most felt in the over-65 population, a third of whom are expected to suffer at least one fall annually. Age UK have identified falls as the leading cause of injury and death for over 65s. Covid-19 and the associated restrictions have caused considerable additional strain for this population and the associated NHS falls services and have increased fall rates. Fall rates shall continue to rise due to the rapidly ageing population; current numbers of over 60s will double, and over 80s will triple by 2050\. eXyo's core team, comprises Andrew Morgan, Christopher Hughes and Jonathan Charlesworth, who are experienced in product design, business development, clinical development and mechanical engineering specialising in rehabilitative technologies. eXyo are developing a standing/balance rehabilitation aid that facilitates remote supervision and gamified therapy. Implementation of eXyo's end product with just 1% market share, as informed by this research, could save the NHS £14.8M annually by 2027 through reducing falls.

eXyo是一家总部位于英国的中小企业，旨在解决缺乏有效的预防跌倒治疗方案的问题。这种缺乏在65岁以上的人群中最为明显，其中三分之一的人预计每年至少跌倒一次。Age UK已经确定跌倒是65岁以上人群受伤和死亡的主要原因。Covid-19和相关的限制给这一人群和相关的NHS跌倒服务造成了相当大的额外压力，并增加了跌倒率。由于人口迅速老龄化，下降率将继续上升；到2050年，目前60岁以上的人数将增加一倍，80岁以上的人数将增加两倍。eXyo的核心团队包括Andrew Morgan， Christopher Hughes和Jonathan Charlesworth，他们在产品设计，业务开发，临床开发和专门从事康复技术的机械工程方面经验丰富。eXyo正在开发一种站立/平衡康复辅助设备，便于远程监督和游戏化治疗。根据这项研究，eXyo的最终产品只有1%的市场份额，到2027年，通过减少跌倒，每年可以为NHS节省1480万英镑。
