Product
Problem
Traditional motion analysis and gait assessment require specialized, expensive equipment and dedicated laboratory spaces, limiting access for most clinics and healthcare providers. This means many patients with mobility impairments or movement disorders do not receive objective, quantitative assessments, leading to delayed diagnosis and suboptimal treatment monitoring.
Solution
Dakota Motion Labs designs compact, affordable, and intelligent motion capture tools that fit into everyday healthcare settings. Their CLOSE CAP product is a permanently installed system that captures biomechanics in compact spaces using close-proximity cameras, while GAIT SENSE is a portable system designed to surround existing exercise equipment for gait analysis. Both products use advanced AI algorithms and wide-angle cameras to deliver precise movement insights in clinics, rehabilitation centers, and sports facilities—without the need for expensive labs or complex setups. By bridging science, technology, and care, the company aims to make movement assessment as routine as measuring blood pressure or heart rate, empowering providers to track mobility across a lifetime.
Target Audience
Primary customers are healthcare providers including physical therapists, sports medicine clinics, rehabilitation centers, and primary care practices seeking objective movement assessment tools for their patients.
