Designed to...
- Personalize treatment by delivering continuous patient activity and weigh-tbearing (mobility) data.
- Get people back on their feet, sooner. This is better for patients, and reduces associated costs.
- Detect healing complications early. Increasing patient treatment efficiency.
- Reduce hospital visits by enabling remote checkups from home. Easier for patients, more efficient use of healthcare resources.
