Health, Wellness, and BeautyPatient Safety Management4HighPhysical Therapist$ implied
New grad physical therapist needs a data-driven method to determine the safe and effective amount of force to apply during passive range of motion (PROM) for post-op TKA and frozen shoulder patients.
No objective measure or tool exists to quantify the appropriate force during PROM; clinicians rely on subjective judgment and anecdotal experience, leading to potential harm or ineffective treatment.

App Concept
ForceGuide PROM
ForceGuide PROM is a wearable sensor and mobile app that provides real-time feedback on the force applied during passive range of motion exercises. It uses established clinical guidelines and patient-specific data to alert clinicians when force exceeds safe thresholds, ensuring effective yet safe stretching for post-op TKA and frozen shoulder patients.
Key Features
- Wearable force sensor for clinician's hand with haptic feedback
- Mobile app displays real-time force curves and target zones
- Patient-specific safety limits based on diagnosis, time since surgery, and pain response
- Session recording with post-treatment analytics and progress tracking
Target Users: Physical therapists and rehabilitation clinicians treating post-operative orthopedic patients in outpatient clinics or hospital settings
Revenue Model: $199 per device (sensor) + $29/mo subscription for app analytics and updates, or $59/mo full platform lease for clinics
