Problem
People with back pain often follow exercise and treatment plans without knowing whether their efforts are actually leading to improvement. Traditional assessment relies on occasional in-clinic visits, leaving patients blind to their day-to-day movement patterns and making it difficult to spot ineffective treatments early.
Solution
Curv provides a smart KT tape system that tracks spinal movement continuously throughout the day. A thin sensor strip slips into medical-grade sports tape, which users stick along their spine like standard athletic tape. The system measures range of motion, velocity, and which spinal sections move freely versus staying stiff, translating this into visualized progress data in a companion app. This gives users and their clinicians objective evidence of whether a treatment is working, without requiring frequent clinic visits or guesswork.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals with back pain undergoing physical therapy, post-surgery rehabilitation, or chiropractic care who want objective feedback on their movement progress between clinical sessions.
