Problem
Clinicians lack tools to manage or direct patients between in-clinic therapy visits, and patient non-compliance with at-home exercises is common. This forces reliance on frequent one-on-one sessions, leading to high no-show rates, patient drop-offs, and unsustainable clinic economics.
Solution
Band Connect provides an evidence-based hybrid therapy platform that extends the in-clinic rehabilitation experience into patients' homes using patent-pending connected exercise equipment. The gamified experience is personalized by the clinician and simulates a virtual clinician guiding the patient through accurate form and movement. Clinicians gain visibility into at-home compliance data, enabling proactive management and informed decisions about the rehab journey. The platform uses resistance-based training without cameras or on-body sensors and is a clinically validated Class II 510(k) Exempt FDA Medical Device.
Target Audience
Primary customers are physical therapy clinics, orthopedic groups, surgeons, and Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) seeking to extend patient rehab beyond clinic walls and improve compliance and outcomes.
