U-GYM has researched and developed the world’s first smart mobile electrotherapy device, “U-GYM”.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Taiwanese startup U-GYM has researched and developed the world’s first smart mobile electrotherapy device, “U-GYM,” and shrunk what was originally large-sized electrotherapy equipment into a device that fits in the palm of the hand and enables consumers to conveniently manage their health at any time.

U-GYM’s integrated hardware with 1kHz to 10kHz medium frequency electrotherapy functions enables users to download APPs which meet their personal electrotherapy requirements. By stimulating muscle contractions and promoting blood circulation, U-GYM enables users to sculpt their bodies and manage their weight.   

U-GYM has found that usually most people do not have enough time to stay physically fit; however, they would still like to stay in shape. As a result, U-GYM has developed the world’s first smart mobile health enhancer “U-GYM,” with a mobile health management APP that enables user to set up their own smart mobile gym.

U-GYM uses an LED display which shows battery power, mode, and electrotherapy strength in a way that is immediately familiar to the user. Furthermore, the built-in high-capacity lithium polymer battery can be used continuously for over ten hours.

In addition, U-GYM’s built-in accelerator and gyroscope can record exercise status, time, and distance combined with electrical stimulation usage. U-GYM is also a convenient health management tool, and its customized health management APPs can record personal data and usage statuses. By gaining an understanding of daily energy consumption, users can set goals for effective weight management and fitness progress.

When founder and CEO Mark Yu was hospitalized and underwent physical rehabilitation for a shoulder injury three years ago, he discovered that professional electrotherapy is both effective and painless. However, because going to the hospital in person is very inconvenient, he decided to research the possibility of developing a portable middle frequency stimulation device.

On October 26, a fundraising drive will begin for U-GYM on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.
