DIH appoints healthcare finance veteran Scott Burell to board

NORWELL, Mass. - DIH Holding US, Inc. (NASDAQ:DHAI), a provider of robotic rehabilitation devices with a market capitalization of $11.5 million, announced Friday the appointment of Scott R. Burell to its Board of Directors. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock has shown strong momentum recently, with an 11% return over the past week.

Burell currently serves as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of AIVITA Biomedical, an immuno-oncology company.

Burell holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting and Business Finance from Central Washington University and is a certified public accountant.

"Scott brings exceptional financial acumen and extensive experience in the life sciences sector," said CEO Jason Chen in the company’s press release.

Burell stated, "I am pleased to join DIH’s Board of Directors and contribute to the company’s mission of improving lives through advanced rehabilitation technologies."

With this addition, DIH’s Board now consists of six members, including four independent directors.

DIH provides robotic devices used in physical rehabilitation that incorporate visual stimulation in an interactive manner for patients with walking impairments, reduced balance, and impaired arm and hand functions.

The announcement comes as the company continues to focus on its growth strategy in the rehabilitation robotics market. While DIH maintains a solid 50% gross profit margin, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, with eight additional exclusive insights available to subscribers.
