Founded in 2014, the company leverages advanced technology—including computer-vision-based motion tracking (TrueMotion), a proprietary FDA-cleared electrical nerve stimulation wearable device (Enso), and an AI-supported clinical care team—to largely automate and scale the delivery of physical therapy.
