Read full description

The myBioness™ mobile application is used in conjunction with the L300 Go® Functional Electrical Stimulation System. L300 Go is used to improve the mobility of individuals challenged by foot drop and/or knee instability which may occur after an Upper Motor Neuron disease or injury. With Version 2.0, the user will now have control over the stimulation modes of all connected devices, as well as the stimulation level, audio and vibration feedback. Connected devices can be controlled individually, or all together through use of the Universal Controls. Also new to this version, the user can set a daily steps goal and monitor their performance through the redesigned Activity graphing screens, which still allow for sorting step data (and now distance data) into weeks, months, and years. This is a helpful tool that supports personal goal setting, an important component of the rehabilitation process. *Please note that an L300 device is required to utilize and operate the myBioness application.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: myBioness at Free against The eFACE's $9.99. myBioness also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 55 months). The eFACE's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
