Physical therapists in an inpatient rehab facility are forced to use an archaic, unvalidated balance grading scale (good/fair/poor) by corporate administration, wasting time and providing worthless clinical data.

No standardized, evidence-based digital tool exists for balance assessment in IRFs; current method relies on a subjective, undefined scale with no inter-rater reliability or outcome validity.

App Concept

BalanceProof

A mobile and desktop app for physical therapists to document balance assessments using validated, objective measures (e.g., Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go). Replaces subjective scales with quick, standardized tests that generate defensible, trackable data for compliance and outcomes.

Key Features

Quick-select validated balance tests with automatic scoring
Photo and video capture for gait/balance documentation
Longitudinal tracking of patient progress with auto-generated reports
Integration with EMR for seamless data transfer

Target Users: Physical and occupational therapists in inpatient rehabilitation facilities and skilled nursing facilities, especially those in large, corporate-owned chains facing compliance pressures.

Revenue Model: $49/mo per therapist subscription, with a site-wide license at $999/mo for facilities up to 50 therapists
