Technology & Innovation
A curated radar, not a catalogue.
LACOM follows developments in rehabilitation and prevention technology and looks at which ones could be relevant for professionals and people in Cyprus — then, where appropriate and agreed, connects them with professionals.
- Rehabilitation Technology
- Robotics
- Diagnostics
- Prevention Technology
- Adaptive Living
Identify · Evaluate · Introduce
Three stages, applied case by case.
Most technologies LACOM looks at stop at the first or second stage. Being identified or evaluated does not mean a technology is endorsed or recommended.
Identify
Scan for technologies relevant to rehabilitation, mobility and prevention.
- Rehabilitation
- Mobility
- Prevention
Evaluate
Look at purpose, evidence, regulatory status and practical fit.
- Purpose
- Evidence

Technology areas
Five areas of interest.
The areas LACOM follows most closely. They describe interests, not a product range: no technology or manufacturer is listed here.
Rehabilitation Technology
Devices and systems that support therapy and restorative movement — used by professionals alongside hands-on rehabilitation, not instead of it.
Robotics
Robotic and assisted-movement systems used in rehabilitation settings, where repetition, support or measurement can help a therapy session.
Diagnostics
Assessment and analysis tools, such as movement and posture analysis, that help professionals understand function and track change over time.
Prevention Technology
Tools that support activity, healthy habits and early awareness — the prevention-first side of LACOM's work.
Adaptive Living
Solutions that make home and everyday life more accessible, closely linked to mobility and independent living.
Categories describe LACOM's areas of interest; they are not product listings or partnerships.
Evaluation principles
What LACOM looks at.
A high-level, practical review. It is not a regulatory approval, a clinical certification or a clinical investigation.
Intended purpose
What the technology is designed to do, and for whom.
Evidence
What published evidence and documentation exist, and how strong they are.
Regulatory position
The manufacturer's stated regulatory status for the intended use and market.
Usability & practical fit
Whether it can work in a real clinic, home or community setting.
Relevance to real needs
Whether it addresses genuine rehabilitation or prevention needs.
Market context
How it fits the Cyprus setting, existing options and distribution.
From radar to Living Lab
When a technology looks relevant.
A technology that passes an initial evaluation may move to an agreed demonstration or familiarisation route through the LACOM Living Lab, where professionals in Cyprus can see and use it in a real rehabilitation environment.
Manufacturers can also start the conversation themselves.
Any demonstration or evaluation is agreed in writing, case by case. It is not automatically a clinical investigation.
Mobility & Adaptive Living
Technology that carries independence home.
Adaptive-living and mobility technologies — from home adaptations to wheelchairs, handcycles and adaptive e-bikes — are where technology meets everyday life.
Please note
Areas of interest, not endorsements.
- Technology areas describe LACOM's interests; they are not product listings.
- Inclusion or discussion of a technology does not mean LACOM endorses or recommends it.
- A demonstration or evaluation is not automatically a clinical investigation.
- Regulatory and approval requirements remain applicable to every technology and use.
