Company

Company overview

Lifeward Ltd. serves people with mobility impairments and facilities helping patients or athletes recover. Its AlterG Anti-Gravity systems use air pressure to support part of a user’s body weight during rehabilitation and athletic training. Its ReWalk powered exoskeletons help people with paraplegia who retain use of their upper bodies and arms walk; the ReWalk business focuses on Personal systems for home and community use.

Most revenue comes from equipment sales. Clinics, rehabilitation centers and sports teams buy AlterG systems, while individuals obtain ReWalk through self-payment or funding from private and government payors. Lifeward also leases equipment and earns from replacement AlterG shorts, maintenance and extended service contracts. It sells mainly directly in the United States and uses distributors in many other markets. One customer accounts for a meaningful share of revenue.

Sales depend on facilities’ equipment budgets and access to reimbursement. Broad, uniform U.S. private-insurance coverage for personal exoskeletons does not exist, and payor decisions are mainly case by case; Medicare provides a benefit category but does not guarantee payment. Lifeward must market devices only for cleared uses, and ReWalk requires user training. It also relies on Cirtronics to manufacture all AlterG products, while making ReWalk in-house. Continuing operations depends on securing additional financing.

Watch exoskeleton reimbursement and rivals such as Ekso Bionics for Lifeward’s outlook, alongside rehabilitation-equipment demand and Cirtronics, which now manufactures its AlterG systems.

  • Myomo and Lifeward both need patients to gain access to their devices and insurers to fund them: Myomo sells powered arm braces, while Lifeward sells powered walking exoskeletons. Myomo’s insurer-funded MyoPro sales offer a parallel to watch as Lifeward expands ReWalk Personal sales to Medicare-eligible patients, though the devices serve different needs.

  • Oramed Pharmaceuticals agreed to invest in Lifeward and transfer technology rights, including its platform for delivering protein drugs by mouth, but the contemplated transaction remains subject to closing conditions. Under the related Oratech acquisition agreement, Lifeward would pay Oramed 4% of net revenue from ReWalk Personal products and related extended warranties, subject to caps and termination events—making completion news relevant to both funding and that revenue stream.

  • Enovis sells physical-therapy and electrical-stimulation equipment to rehabilitation buyers also served by Lifeward’s AlterG and MyoCycle systems. Its Prevention & Recovery business is the relevant area to watch for rehabilitation-equipment demand, rather than its joint-replacement surgery business.

  • Bioventus matters to Lifeward through its acquired Bioness business, whose rehabilitation products Lifeward identifies as potential competitors to ReStore, its rehabilitation exo-suit. Watch Bioness product news for that competitive threat, rather than treating Bioventus’s broader pain-treatment and surgical businesses as direct comparisons.
