Kandu

BCI-powered stroke rehabilitation and telehealth

Overview

Kandu combines non-invasive brain-computer interface therapy with AI-powered telehealth to support stroke recovery at home. It integrates the FDA-cleared IpsiHand BCI with remote clinical support, enabling at-home rehabilitation guided by clinicians. The merger of Kandu Health and Neurolutions creates a continuum of care from hospital discharge to long-term recovery, linking hardware-enabled therapy with ongoing remote care. The goal is to scale a combined BCI-assisted therapy and telehealth program to set a standard for at-home stroke rehabilitation.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • January 2026 capital from K2 HealthVentures and Piper Sandler extends commercialization runway.
  • February 2026 randomized trial showed superior motor gains and 2.2 NNT for IpsiHand.
  • Kandu updated its site in August 2026, signaling active sales execution and hospital partnerships.

What critics are saying

  • Kandu depends on Medicare and insurer adoption; reimbursement delays freeze revenue conversion in 2026.
  • Only one FDA-cleared BCI stroke device exists; Blackrock, Bioness, and MedRhythms intensify competition.
  • If IpsiHand trial adoption stalls, Kandu becomes a capital-hungry device-services hybrid with limited moat.

What makes Kandu unique

  • Kandu pairs FDA-cleared IpsiHand BCI with remote stroke coaching, unlike single-point rehab vendors.
  • IpsiHand is the first FDA-cleared BCI stroke device and first CMS reimbursement-code recipient.
  • Leo Petrossian leads Neurolutions pedigree, giving Kandu decades-long device-development credibility.
