ORTHOMONiTOR, developed by Kinematix, is a wearable device that aims to promote faster recovery from conditions that impair posture and mobility. It can be embedded in orthopedic bracing and footwear to detect wear-time compliance and therapeutic efficacy. The device supports patient self-management, by combining sensor technologies, wireless communication and an app.
The device analyses and reports activity, such as strides, cadence and periods of use, and it shows both if the device is being used and how it is used. The device could provide insights into the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, stroke rehabilitation and other posture or mobility disorders. Additionally it can help provide documentation to address payer demands.
