Smart crutch tips to control weight-bearing and increase patient compliance.
Current Status
We have developed software and produced 280 pairs of devices. We stopped sales in Ukraine due to the war and focused on the US market only. We have got extremely positive feedback from US patients and doctors, past all necessary regulation procedures and getting ready for launch sales in the NY state in January 2023.
Problem or Opportunity
1. Patients walk on crutches for a month and a half more than they should.
2. Patients can not follow weight-bearing prescriptions without an objective measuring tool.
3. Incorrect weight-bearing can lead to further complications and even to a second surgery.
4. Doctors do not have an objective weight-bearing control tool.
5. For doctors, it’s difficult to explain what 20 or 50% of body weight means.
6. Doctors prescribe not stepping on the injured leg for several weeks to mitigate risks, which makes the rehabilitation process much longer.
Solution (product or service)
Biofeedback device and mobile apps that allow patients to start rehab earlier, without risk of complications & expedite recovery for 6-8 weeks.
