Lower body · Wave 1
Knee recovery
A high-value first family because strength, control, range, stairs, squats, and walking can be coached and repeatedly measured at home.
A public, non-diagnostic research fit and safety screen is available. It does not provide treatment, medical clearance, or clinician monitoring.
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.
- 01Patellofemoral or anterior-knee pain
- 02Knee osteoarthritis
- 03Quadriceps weakness and knee stiffness
- 04Patellar tendinopathy
- 05Runner’s knee and return-to-running preparation
- 06Stable ligament sprain rehabilitation
- 07Nonsurgical meniscus rehabilitation
- 08ACL injury-prevention and prehabilitation
- 09ACL or meniscus postoperative rehabilitation under protocol
- 10Total knee replacement preparation and recovery under protocol
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.
Bounded adaptation
A versioned rules engine may choose only approved progressions, regressions, substitutions, holds, or stops inside the pathway.
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.
Care ownership
Who and what the pathway still needs.
The gradual-onset anterior-knee cohort is the first research wedge. Trauma, instability, mechanical symptoms, and surgery require separate screens or clinician protocols.
Strong digital candidateExercise, education, repetition, and visible movement are central. Each condition still needs its own approved screen and protocol before release.
Camera boundary
Visible does not mean diagnosed.
Potential tasks include sit-to-stand, squat, step, gait, range, and later landing mechanics. No diagnosis or form-quality claim follows from a visible movement.
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.
