(firmenpresse) - QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 06/10/16 -- Note to Editors: There is a photo associated with this press release.
B-TEMIA Inc. is proud to announce that the company received a $300,000 grant from the City of Quebec aimed at advancing its Dermokeleton™ technology as part of a close collaboration with the City's Police and Fire Protection departments. This association will enable public security forces to try out the innovative robotic orthotic device developed by B-TEMIA.
Using the Dermoskeleton™ can translate into productivity gains while improving occupational health and safety. The technology is designed to fulfill a wide range of needs, in particular to sustain endurance while performing physically demanding tasks, like those involved in the work of emergency response teams (ERTs), firefighters and assembly line mechanics. This collaboration will help B-TEMIA to better align the technology's functionalities with the specific requirements of ERTs and firefighters.
This project is part of the technological innovation component of Quebec City's Economic Development Strategy. The City will support B-TEMIA in identifying the tasks and operating conditions for which the Dermoskeleton™ would be most beneficial.
"We are very proud of this achievement," stated Stephane Bedard, Founder, President and CEO of B-TEMIA. "Public security workers are faced with growing needs, and the goal is to strengthen their physical capacity and protect them in emergency situations. Quebec City's technological innovation program will enable us to demonstrate the potential of our Dermoskeleton™, in support of our worldwide commercial efforts."
