Problem
Traditional motion capture systems are expensive, require specialized lab environments, and often rely on cumbersome markers, limiting accessibility and ease of use for biomechanical analysis in various settings. This restricts the ability of clinicians, trainers, and researchers to easily and affordably quantify human movement.
Solution
Model Health offers a markerless motion capture solution that leverages computer vision, deep learning, and musculoskeletal modeling to quantify human movement using video from mobile devices. The technology enables biomechanical analysis outside of traditional lab settings, providing accessible and accurate motion and force measurements. Users can record videos using an iOS app, visualize movement data on a web application, and export results for further analysis. The platform offers various packages tailored to different needs, from raw kinematic data to automated analysis and reporting.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports organizations, and researchers who need accessible and objective movement analysis tools for performance tracking, rehabilitation, and injury prevention.
