Kandu

BCI-powered stroke rehabilitation and telehealth

Overview

Kandu is the merged entity formed by Kandu Health and Neurolutions to support stroke recovery. It combines the FDA-cleared non-invasive brain-computer interface (IpsiHand) with AI-supported telehealth for at-home rehabilitation and remote clinician guidance. The company differentiates itself by linking hardware-enabled therapy with ongoing remote care to provide a continuous rehab pathway from hospital discharge to home. Its goal is to create a seamless continuum of stroke care, from initial rehabilitation to long-term at-home recovery.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • February 2026 trial showed 4.5-point UEFM gain and 55.5% MCID achievement.
  • January 2026 growth capital from K2 HealthVentures and Piper Sandler extended runway.
  • CMS decision and HCPCS E0738 support home-use reimbursement for IpsiHand.

What critics are saying

  • Kandu's revenue depends on one device; IpsiHand failure would cripple the company.
  • CMS reimbursement rules or prior-authorization tightening would slow sales within 2026.
  • If payers balk, Kandu stays a niche therapy and never reaches scale.

What makes Kandu unique

  • Only FDA-cleared at-home BCI therapy pairs stroke rehab hardware with telehealth support.
  • Kandu Medical Services adds remote monitoring, navigation, and clinician oversight after discharge.
  • 2025 merger unified Neurolutions' IpsiHand and Kandu Health's care-delivery workflows.
