Globally, eight million people suffered from Parkinson disease (PD) symptom called freezing of gait, which cause walking difficulties, high risk of falling ,fear and depression. PD number is about 1/100 after age of 60 and is rising associated with aging society. Rehab Happy Walk was founded by Dr. Peeraya, an inventor specialized in rehabilitation, and teams who strive to improve quality of PD’s life by living independently, not the burden of society.
Our solution has been developed and proved based on patients and caregivers’ feedback in clinical research. The product was patents pending and will be launched within 2019, while continuouslly improving second version by 2020. Our market plan will initiate and focus in Thailand with collaboration with two Mahidol University hospitals, six hospitals in same district, and Thai Medical society, while attempt to find alliances in Japan in order to expand internationally, given Thailand and Japan moving to full aging society.The potential PD people are 150,000 in 2020. Our revenue in 2020 is $ 1.4 million and increase to $10 million in 2023, while NPV is $540,000 at 40% discount rate and IRR is 80%.
We are looking for investors and fit alliances to join our vision and move forward.
