NeuroBLAST
ECOSYSTEM
Gaming for a stronger tomorrow
Neuroblast uses cutting-edge technology to stimulate neuroplasticity.
Neuroblast overcomes 4 main critical obstacles in neurorehabilitation:
1. Continuity in rehabilitation at home
2. Remote monitoring of the rehabilitation
3. Costly traditional therapy & long on-site stays (>€350 a day)
4. Low motivation with patients, which results in a lack of continuity.
With Neuroblast, you will want to work out every day!
HOW IT WORKS
The Neuroblast Ecosystem is a versatile set of devices that helps adults and children with neurodegenerative disorders have continuity in a workout and improve their functions and coordination through interactive and immersive video games. It can be used at home or on the go, making it a convenient and accessible rehabilitation solution.
The concept of neuroplasticity is relatively new and represents the future in many fields of medicine and post-rehabilitation physical therapy.
Today, the old thesis that a damaged brain cell cannot recover is obsolete. Neurons can regenerate, and another group of neurons can take over the destroyed function of a part of the brain by creating new synapses between neurons in damaged parts of the brain, which is achieved in neurorehabilitation by repeating the movements of damaged limbs with visual and dopamine-driven stimulation.
Recently, we have faced an epidemic of various neurological disorders. The most common are MS, cerebral palsy, people suffering from stroke, with a third of all patients permanently disabled. Neurodegenerative diseases represent a significant burden for society, and they dramatically impair the health and quality of life of patients and their families.
The Neuroblast
Motus
- Easy to set up and use, and it can be used at home or on the go.
- Uses interactive and immersive games to motivate patients and make their rehabilitation more enjoyable.
- Can be used to improve a variety of hand functions, including strenght, dexterity and coordination.
The Neuroblast
Aequa
- After extensive testing of the basic Neuroblast controller at leading at clinics, in collaboration with physiotherapists and physiatrists, we concluded that an additional device is needed to help patients improve their balance and strengthen stabilization muscles.
- Since the Neuroblast Controller can not effectivelity, knee stability and similar functions, the Neuroblast Aequa has been designed to assist in activating those muscles.

Marija Grujic, co-founder of Neuroblast, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after giving birth. She attended neurorehabilitation clinics but found them costly and the exercises repetitive and demotivating.
Marija and Marko Grujic founded the start-up Neuroblast to offer accessible, mobile post-rehabilitation for neurodegenerative diseases using interactive devices developed with Microsoft Azure, Azure IoT Hub, and Azure OpenAI.
Neuroblast solutions engage users through interactive video games. Marija uses Neuroblast equipment and software for at least two hours daily, maintaining her mobility and motivation to bring specialized neurorehabilitation to more people.
Neuroblast won at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund!
Congratulations to NeuroBlast on winning the Most Impactful Business award at the MBRIF Innovation Accelerator Cohort 9 Demo Day.
Innovation Accelerator Cohort 9 Demo Day by Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund took place at The Palace Downtown Hotel on Wednesday,
the 21st of May. It is always a pleasure to join as a member of the Advisory & Decision Committee. Pleased to acknowledge that the program hosts 170 companies which has created over 1000 jobs so far, and is steadily growing.
Cohort 9 consisted of 18 strong and diverse teams from 9 countries.
The portfolio varies from Education, Space SatKits, environmentally safe construction materials, health care, and protecting businesses against cyber risk, composting, among many other excellent start-ups.

Neurblast Presenting at ARAB HEALTH 2025!
Neuroblast was honored to showcase our home-based rehabilitation solution at Arab Health in Dubai, one of the largest healthcare events in the World. Marija Grujic and I were on-site, where Marija delivered a live demonstration of how our devices empower patients with neurological and orthopedic conditions to continue therapy at home. During the presentation, we highlighted the latest features of our Motus and Aequa controllers, shared our vision for the AI-driven exoskeleton, and forged valuable connections with regional clinics and distributors.

Founders in focus: Marija Grujic and Neuroblast push for global expansion in home-based rehab
After a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis disrupted her routine in 2017, Marija Grujic found herself stuck between effective therapy in clinics and a lack of support at home. What started as a sketched solution turned into Neuroblast, a home rehabilitation platform co-founded with her husband. Now, from a seed-stage company with working prototypes to pilot runs in clinical settings, Grujic is building toward market expansion from Abu Dhabi. In this interview, she shares why she turned to startups, how the Middle East helped shape her next move, and what it takes to bring medical hardware to market.
