Had a wonderful interaction with CurAlgia’s co-founder, Vishwal Padole, on December 9th, 2023, as a part of my project on the ‘Creativity and Innovation for Sustainable Management’ course. During which, I’ve gained valuable insights into understanding the potential of data-driven solutions transforming rehabilitation in physiotherapy.
?
CurAlgia, a brand of 'WeRehab Technologies Private Limited', is a physiotherapy tech start-up incubated at IIT Kanpur. It was founded in December 2020 with a vision to revolutionize injury prevention and rehabilitation.
?
Here’s some brief information on what CurAlgia is all about:
?
Problem statement:
?? Rehabilitation today is a very extensive process, and there are no data-driven recovery journeys.
?? Lack of quantification not only delays recovery but also increases the dropout rates of patients.
?
Product/solution:
?? CurAlgia’s Feet Sx Insole is a smart device that detects movement asymmetries, diagnoses root causes, monitors rehabilitation progress, reduces recovery time, and improves athletes’ performance.
?
?? 'Feet Sx Insole' can help physiotherapists:
?? with increased accuracy in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle problems.
??ability to track the progress of patients and make necessary adjustments in treatment plans, leading to increased satisfaction among patients and footfall at their set-up.
?
Using ‘Feet SX insoles’, one can perform standing posture analysis and dynamic gait analysis.
?
Well, what is gait analysis?
??♂? It is a comprehensive evaluation of the way an individual stands and walks.
?
Gait analysis works together with Curalgia Smart insoles to track stress and pressure points across different areas of the foot. It utilizes advanced analytics to visually display the pressure map and other important gait data.
??
Overall, it was a pleasant and knowledgeable experience to learn from the minds behind CurAlgia!
I sincerely thank Vishwal Padole and Sukanya Dikshit for sharing their passion, Professor Ashish Aggarwal for invaluable guidance, and my team Renuka Maher, Sarthak Jaiswal, Nimesh Kumar Gautam, Apoorva P and Sai Kaligineedi for making it all click.
