Dakota Motion Labs
Dakota Motion Labs provides AI-based motion capture systems that make biomechanical movement assessment as routine as measuring blood pressure. The company offers two products: CLOSE CAP, a permanently installed system for compact spaces, and GAIT SENSE, a portable system that attaches to existing exercise equipment for gait analysis. Their technology is designed to give healthcare providers accessible, evidence-based tools to track patient mobility across a lifetime.

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 develops AI-based motion capture systems that make movement assessment simple, affordable, and accessible for clinical settings. Their CLOSE CAP product is a permanently installed system that captures biomechanics in compact spaces, while GAIT SENSE is a portable system designed to surround existing exercise equipment for gait analysis. Both products use artificial intelligence to analyze movement patterns and provide objective data that healthcare providers can use to track mobility over time. By bridging science, technology, and care, the company aims to make movement assessment as routine as measuring blood pressure or heart rate.
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.
