A Bristol social enterprise that designs, develops and manufactures hardware and software tech to support people suffering with musculoskeletal conditions has secured a £200,000 investment.
Good Boost said the cash from South West investors BBRC would be used to expand its work helping people in need.
The organisation uses AI technology with bespoke hardware to facilitate in-person, community-led and virtual exercise sessions to support people with MSK issues.

Good Boost primarily works with community and leisure centres across Bristol and the 海角视频, providing its equipment and services for sessions to be delivered to people in the community in need of assistance.
The funding will be used to carry out community outreach in at least three community venues across Bristol, particularly in areas of the city with high deprivation.
Good Boost said it would work with venues to create "an affordable" concessionary rate for people on low incomes and a free virtual service to users with a Bristol or Bath postcode.
Ben Wilkins, chief executive of Good Boost, said: “We are delighted to receive this investment from BBRC, at a time when many people are struggling with their day to day lifestyle and really in need of help.
“The investment will significantly help us expand our practices, in line with community venues, to provide sophisticated guided support to those individuals struggling with MSK conditions, as well as providing a sense of community support.”
