Myogen Health
Myogen Health is developing a hand health program built around the HMES One, a wearable electrical stimulation device purpose-built for the small intrinsic muscles of the hand, paired with a graded exercise kit. The program follows a stimulate-then-exercise rhythm four days per week, designed to support 15 minutes of daily hand mobility and strengthening work. The device is being developed with clinical input to recognized medical device standards.

Problem
Hand strength quietly declines with age, long before it shows up as a diagnosis, making everyday tasks like opening jars, fastening buttons, and writing progressively harder. Most existing tools either treat this decline as inevitable or only intervene after something has gone wrong, leaving a gap between how much people struggle and how little is done about it.
Solution
Myogen Health provides a hand health program built around the HMES One, a first-of-its-kind wearable electrical stimulation device designed specifically for the small intrinsic muscles of the hand, not adapted from a larger-muscle device. The device is paired with a hand exercise kit featuring graded rubber bands, foam peanuts, and therapy putty to train both opening and closing motions. The program follows a rhythm of four days per week, combining gentle electrical muscle stimulation with targeted exercises designed to support 15 minutes of daily hand mobility and strengthening work. The approach is built to medical device standards with clinical input, positioning hand strength as a health marker deserving the same attention as blood pressure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are adults experiencing age-related hand strength decline, particularly women who struggle with daily tasks, as well as clinicians and healthcare professionals interested in hand health programs.
Features
- HMES One wearable device shaped and calibrated for hand anatomy specifically, with a stimulation profile intended for the small intrinsic muscles
- Exercise kit with finger-sized rubber bands graded in stages for hand opening and spreading motions, foam peanuts to isolate interdigital muscles, and therapy putty in multiple resistance levels
- Stimulate-then-exercise protocol: 4 days per week of electrical stimulation followed by targeted hand exercises
- Developed with clinical input to recognized medical device standards rather than as a wellness gadget
- Company program design emphasizes that stimulation supports exercise rather than replacing it
