Overview
Aretech is a privately held medical device company founded in 2005, headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia. It is a commercial-stage leader in robotic body-weight support systems for rehabilitation, offering a portfolio of four distinct products (ZeroG 3D, ZeroG, Ovation, Luminaire) that cater to different clinical and facility needs. The company's technology is designed to reduce the fear of falling, allowing patients to engage in more intensive therapy earlier in recovery, targeting conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia. Aretech's systems are installed in rehabilitation hospitals and clinics, generating revenue through the sale of its capital equipment.
Technology Platform
Robotic dynamic body-weight support (BWS) and fall protection systems for gait, balance, and functional training. The platform features computer-controlled support, 3D and linear tracking, integrated perturbation training, and touchscreen interfaces.

Competitive Landscape
Aretech competes in the rehabilitation robotics and body-weight support market. Direct competitors include other providers of overground BWS systems and treadmill-integrated BWS. It also faces indirect competition from robotic exoskeleton companies (e.g., Ekso Bionics, ReWalk) and larger, diversified rehabilitation technology firms (e.g., Hocoma, which offers the Lokomat). Aretech's differentiation lies in its focus on dynamic fall protection, 3D training space (ZeroG 3D), and a product portfolio catering to diverse facility needs.
