Ekso Bionics Holdings (EKSO) said Thursday it has been accepted into the Nvidia (NVDA) connect program, which aids software development firms in accelerating product development through training and resources.

Ekso said it plans to utilize the program to support a new initiative targeting to build a proprietary foundation model for human motion, and to help develop and integrate related new artificial intelligence capabilities across its portfolio of health devices.

Shares of Ekso were up 32% while Nvidia shares were 0.9% lower in recent Thursday premarket activity.
