Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project describes a conceptually valid and well-timed solution for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring and fall-risk assessment. However, the submission is penalized heavily due to severe red flags, including highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product', audience of 'everyone') and an implausible, unverified market cap. As per evaluation guidelines, the presence of these red flags and lack of verifiable traction mandate a sub-zero final score.

Description
Providing seamless Remote Therapeutic Monitoring solutions for providers paired with mobile app solutions for improved patient engagement and patient experiences. Balance expands providers' ability to monitor, visualize and treat motor function impairments in chronic and post-acute patients with remote motor pattern analysis. Balance is a remote gait and motor function analysis device designed to log and analyze data on patients' asymmetric motor patterns, report automated fall-risk profiles & detect gait impairments to restore patient's ability to navigate their daily lives. The Balance devices and RTM portal facilitate continuous feedback on therapy progress decreases and increases, allowing for timely chronic and acute intervention, fall-risk calculation and prevention, with therapy progress reports for asynchronous tele-health, care quality reporting, and improved patient experiences. Balance acts as an automated safety system with fall detection algorithms to notify physicians of patient fall risk events and facilitate their management of patient fall risk to reduce patient readmissions. Our solutions prevent the undue expense of time for patients and providers by spending less time commuting, auto-logging patient functional assessment data and asynchronous, remote data visualization and analysis for providers. The Balance Remote Therapeutic Monitoring combines an exceptional user experience with motion artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to provide instruction and motivation for patients, providing time savings for providers and overall operational improvements for remote care providers.
