Problem
Traditional methods of assessing and training grip strength often rely on bulky, analog dynamometers, lacking objective data tracking and engaging training programs. This can lead to difficulties in monitoring patient progress, reduced patient compliance, and limited options for remote rehabilitation.
Solution
Squegg offers a digital health solution for upper extremity rehabilitation, centered around a Bluetooth-enabled dynamometer and connected mobile applications. The Squegg device accurately measures grip and pinch strength, transmitting data to a user app for engaging, gamified exercises and a clinician app (Squegg PRO) for remote patient management. Squegg PRO enables therapists to create customized training programs, track patient compliance, and monitor progress with detailed reports, facilitating data-driven insights and improved therapeutic outcomes both in clinical and remote settings.
Target Audience
Squegg targets occupational therapists, hand therapists, and other clinicians specializing in upper extremity rehabilitation, as well as individuals seeking to improve their hand strength and function for general wellness or recovery from injury.
