Problem
Access to rehabilitation services for individuals with chronic diseases is limited, leading to low participation rates and high hospital readmission rates. Traditional rehabilitation programs often require significant resources and can be difficult for patients to access due to cost, transportation, and long waiting lists. This lack of access hinders effective patient care and places a substantial burden on the healthcare system.

The platform aims to reduce barriers to clinical rehabilitation by offering a low-cost, low-resource solution that can be accessed remotely. By optimizing patient motivation and adherence, ex-able seeks to improve patient outcomes, reduce clinic visits, and lower hospital readmission rates through proactive monitoring and personalized rehabilitation plans.
