We are currently running an initial beta with ~10 luminary physical therapists.
We want to make a world-class application that automates a lot of a physical therapist’s functions, provides a highly dynamic patient interface, and offers a seamless experience for ordering and scheduling sessions, interacting with the therapist, and receiving detailed feedback and encouragement.
