Problem
Individuals experiencing back and joint pain often lack objective data to pinpoint the root cause of their discomfort, leading to ineffective self-treatment or prolonged reliance on generalized therapeutic approaches. This absence of precise biomechanical feedback hinders personalized recovery and the optimization of physical function.
Solution
Calcu provides an at-home biomechanics assessment solution utilizing wearable Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors to capture detailed movement data. Users receive a kit with sensors that attach to the body, enabling them to perform a series of prescribed movements such as walking, squatting, and landing. The collected kinematic data is transmitted to a cloud platform for analysis, where proprietary algorithms identify movement dysfunctions and quantify their contribution to pain. Based on this analysis, Calcu generates a personalized report with actionable insights and targeted exercise recommendations to address specific pain sources and improve joint health.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals suffering from chronic back and joint pain, as well as those seeking to proactively manage their musculoskeletal health and optimize physical performance.
