Clinician-directed hybridRoadmap pathway
Whole body · Wave 2
Balance, fall prevention, and healthy aging
The app can coach strength, transfers, walking, and balance progressions, but environmental hazards and fall risk make supervision decisions essential.
This pathway is part of the product roadmap and is not currently available as a Cost Plus PT treatment program.
Potential pathway scope
Use cases the product may support.
These are product and research categories—not a self-diagnosis list. A released pathway would still need to confirm that the person, symptom pattern, environment, and goals fit its exact approved rules.
- 01General balance deficits
- 02Fall-prevention exercise
- 03Older-adult strength and mobility
- 04Sit-to-stand and transfer training
- 05Walking and stair confidence
- 06Dual-task walking
- 07Home-safety education
- 08Maintenance of community mobility
How the platform could help
Useful technology with bounded jobs.
Each capability must be validated for this pathway. Approval of one camera task, condition, or population does not authorize another.
Large-movement camera
A validated camera task may observe broad movements such as walking, squats, steps, transfers, range, or balance while preserving a not-observed result.
Hands-free voice
Voice can deliver setup, timing, concise cues, and bounded commands while captions and touch remain complete fallbacks.
Functional progress
The pathway can follow a repeatable life or task measure instead of relying only on pain or exercise completion.
Education and pacing
The app can provide approved education, activity modification, pacing, recovery expectations, and flare-up guidance.
Optional wearable data
Validated heart-rate, activity, or other device data may add context but cannot silently become a safety clearance.
Caregiver-supported mode
The pathway may include an explicit caregiver role for setup, supervision, communication, or safe task completion.
Care ownership
Who and what the pathway still needs.
Higher fall risk, cognition concerns, recent falls, or need for physical guarding require a clinician or capable caregiver and a safer environment.
Clinician-directed hybridThe app can coach and measure home work, but a licensed clinician or medical protocol should establish and supervise the plan.
Camera boundary
Visible does not mean diagnosed.
Remote functional tests may be feasible, but no single camera-derived test should independently determine fall risk or safe independence.
Required behaviorLow-quality or unsupported input must produce retry, manual mode, or not observed—never a normal result.
Before patient release
A pathway is more than exercise content.
Every family moves through its own clinical, evidence, technical, and operational approval. A later status change should update the catalog, not bypass these gates.
