MoveMend

A rehab-companion app for orthopedic and stroke patients: their physiotherapist records an exercise, the AI reconstructs it in 3D, and the patient gets live feedback at home on whether they're hitting the prescribed range of motion.

Target user

outpatient physiotherapy patients doing prescribed exercises at home between clinic visits

Features
  • Therapist uploads a reference exercise once; AI generates a personalized 3D motion target
  • At-home session uses the phone camera to score each rep on depth, speed, and symmetry, with audio cues
  • Weekly summary sent to the therapist flagging which exercises the patient is struggling with
  • Pain and effort log layered onto the motion data so the therapist sees objective + subjective trends
Why now

Structured 4D reconstruction research is crossing the threshold where a phone camera can capture clinically meaningful motion — exactly what home rehab has been waiting for.

Well-funded incumbents (Hinge Health, Sword Health, Kaia Health, AI.Physio) already serve digital MSK, but most focus on employer/insurer-sponsored MSK rather than the specific 'PT-records → 3D AI → live ROM feedback at home' workflow targeting outpatient ortho and stroke patients.Best Digital MSK Platforms Compared: ABI vs Hinge vs Sword vs KaiaAI.Physio — AI Physiotherapy Mobile App

Monetization
6/10

Clear B2B/B2B2C paths via employers and payers (Hinge/Sword model); Medicare and many private insurers now reimburse tele-PT, but direct B2C willingness-to-pay for AI-camera feedback app subscription is unproven and reimbursement coding for AI-driven ROM feedback is still maturing.Billing for tele-physical therapy | Telehealth.HHS.govIs Telehealth Covered by Insurance?

Feasibility
4/10

Achieving clinically reliable ROM accuracy from a single phone camera is hard; JOSPT review flags implementation challenges (measurement accuracy, validation, integration) and the product likely needs FDA SaMD classification and clinician-grade clinical validation before adoption.Integrating AI into Physical Rehabilitation: Current Applications and Challenges
