HealthcarePatient Compliance & Behavior Management3MediumPhysical Therapist$ implied
Physical therapy patients often quit treatment early due to lack of visible progress, despite underlying improvement, leading to dropouts near the inflection point.
Existing patient motivation tools rely on verbal encouragement ('trust the process') but fail to objectively show subtle daily progress, leading to early dropouts when patients feel no change.
