KINVENT is a New York-based biomechanics equipment manufacturer with an ecosystem of smart devices. The company notably offers seven physiotherapy-focused devices that each synchronize with a single mobile application. This allows the mobile application to build data from several different data points, allowing the application to create a comprehensive interpretation of the patient's physical status.
The seven connected devices are the 'Muscle Controller,' 'Grip,' 'Link,' 'Sens,' 'Bubble,' Force Plates,' and 'Delta Force Plates.' Each device focuses on a different area of the body, such as the hands, biceps, or legs. By leveraging these seven devices and its one application, KINVENT is able to provide a five-step process for physiotherapy and physical recovery.
The KINVENT application begins by assessing patient performance based on various points of data. The app then interprets this data and creates an exercise plan that is tailored to a specific patient. The app also mixes in what KINVENT refers to as "rehab gaming," engaging video games that are controlled with ones physical body. Then, the app continues to monitor the status of the patient over time. Lastly, the application generates full-sized PDF reports on the patients health over time directly in the application.
