Company Overview

Japet Medical is a French company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of motorized medical exoskeletons for musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention and lumbar rehabilitation. Founded in 2016 and based in Loos, near Lille in northern France, the company was co-founded by Antoine Noël (CEO) and Damien Bratic (CTO), who previously collaborated on developing robotic hands for children with disabilities before pivoting to occupational exoskeletons.

Japet Medical holds ISO 13485 certification, the international standard for medical device quality management systems, underscoring its commitment to clinical rigor. Its flagship product, the Japet.W+, is classified as a European CE Class IIa medical device — a distinction unique among occupational exoskeletons. The Japet.W+ is a motorized lumbar exoskeleton weighing approximately 2 kg that integrates robotics into a soft textile body, a proprietary and nearly unique approach in the industry. It can be donned in approximately 30 seconds and adapts to different body morphologies.

The Japet.W+ is designed to protect the lumbar spine during physically demanding professional tasks: load handling, awkward postures, and repetitive movements. Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing back pain and cushioning spinal shock loads — making it the only occupational exoskeleton backed by published clinical evidence of efficacy. It is used across multiple sectors including industry, logistics, healthcare and paramedical care, construction, and agriculture.

Japet produces hundreds of Japet.W+ units and textile accessories annually at its Lille-area workshop, situated within Eurasanté, the healthcare competitiveness cluster of the Hauts-de-France region. The company is supported by European Union funding programs and has received coverage from TechCrunch and other technology media for its earlier Atlas rehabilitation exoskeleton prototype.
