Mimofit Advances from New Tech to Global Stage
When Axel Loelhoeffel hosted a Mimofit demo table at April’s New Tech Event to showcase their home-based rehabilitation device and platform designed to help people with Parkinson’s disease improve movement, balance, and functional mobility, he hoped to make connections. What followed exceeded expectations.
Loelhoeffel commented that the SCWorks New Tech evening “made a real difference” — especially since several attendees became customers — and that momentum carried the team to a much bigger stage: the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix. Mimofit exhibited and demonstrated their device to hundreds of people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, clinicians, researchers and advocates. The response, Loelhoeffel says, was “overwhelming”: attendees waited in line to try the device, some returned for a second demo the next day, and the team collected a notebook full of new partnerships and leads, including Parkinson’s centers, coaches, Rock Steady Boxing programs, researchers and community leaders interested in bringing Mimofit to more people. Mimofit also presented clinical study results at the event. Locally, demand is roaring: mimofit’s first production run sold out and the next batch is scheduled to ship mid‑ to late‑June.
Loelhoeffel added another milestone: Mimofit was recently accepted into the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP — a recognition he called “a big deal” after a long period of work.
“I wanted to share a quick update on Mimofit and say thank you again for giving us the opportunity to present at the April New Tech Event,” Loelhoeffel wrote. “Santa Cruz Works is a real asset to this ecosystem.”
