In the news
- Three days in Lille. One clear signal: function is becoming measurable. We packed up the Eforto booth at the 22nd EuGMS Congress (16–18 September, Lille Grand Palais) with a notebook full of researchers who want Eforto in their clinical studies. The congress theme said it all: "Optimising function: A key to healthy ageing." Exactly the conversation we came for. What we heard at the booth: 🔹 Grip strength alone is no longer enough. Clinicians and researchers want sensitive, responsive biomarkers without ceiling effects. Muscle
- We are delighted to be part of EuGMS 2026 in Lille. Visit the Eforto booth in the Exhibition Area for a hands-on experience with the Eforto system. Discover how a short grip-strength assessment can help explore muscle fatigability and vitality capacity: two meaningful dimensions of function in older adults. Come to try the technology yourself, and discuss how objective muscle-function insights can support research, clinical practice, and healthy ageing. See you in Lille! #EuGMS2026 #HealthyAgeing #GeriatricMedicine #MuscleFunction
- Muscle capacity is measurable. And it only takes 5 minutes. This week we are at the 23rd IAGG World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics in Amsterdam (RAI, 5–8 July), and you will find us at booth 38. Come and see what objective muscle assessment looks like in practice. The Eforto M1 vigorimeter captures grip strength, muscle fatigability, and self-perceived fatigue through a single 5-minute effort test. It is built to support: → Sarcopenia case-finding and frailty assessment, in line with EWGSOP2 → Objective, longitudinal
