Rebound
An AI rehab companion that turns a months-long orthopedic recovery into a daily guided program, adapting exercises as your mobility returns and flagging setbacks before they become serious.
Adults recovering from serious orthopedic injuries (broken bones, ACL tears, joint surgeries)
- Daily personalized exercise plans that adapt to your reported pain, swelling, and mobility
- Camera-based range-of-motion and gait check-ins you can do at home without special hardware
- Mental resilience prompts timed to recovery milestones (first unaided step, first jog, etc.)
- Pattern detection on pain and swelling logs that nudges you to call your surgeon when something looks off
