Myomo's Robotic Arm Goes Direct to PatientsMyomo's Robotic Arm Goes Direct to Patients

Myomo Inc.'s (Cambridge, MA) robotic prosthetic arm has been available since 2008, but now the company is offering the device directly to patients at a discount. The NeuroRobotic System isn't covered by insurance and had previously been sold to rehab centers and hospitals for $7000. The company has slashed the price to $4750 and will be offering the device to patients who pass a screening process. Patients will also need a doctor's prescription.
