Nowadays, many diseases cannot be completely recovered by drugs or surgery , and certain rehabilitation treatments must be carried out in order to heal. However, due to the high cost, long time treatment, rehabilitation exercises are not in place and other reasons, the traditional rehabilitation has been a headache to many patients, and even give up rehabilitation. In addition, the physical therapists responsible for rehabilitation treatment in various countries around the world are very scarce and cannot meet the huge patient demand. In order to solve these problems, Jintronix came into being, and from then on, rehabilitation treatment will no longer be a patient's troubles!
Jintronix is ​​a Canadian company with offices in Montreal and Seattle. Jintronix is ​​revolutionizing physiotherapy and occupational therapy by providing patients with an easy-to-use, innovative rehabilitation model called Jintronix, a convenient virtual rehabilitation treatment platform designed for physical and occupational therapy. The Jintronix platform uses motion sensing technology, uses Microsoft Kinect (XBOX360 somatosensory peripherals), adds game elements, provides visual feedback to users, makes physical and occupational therapy exercises more interesting, and Jintronix dynamically tracks and virtualizes Microsoft's Kinect The game and remote clinical monitoring are combined to create a truly interesting and effective rehabilitation tool for the patient. Currently, Jintronix has designed three games for different types of rehabilitation treatments that have brought good news to patients who need rehabilitation.
Jintronix is ​​easy to set up and easy to operate. The patient only needs one computer and one Kinect to start rehabilitation. It can be downloaded and installed on a personal computer. The patient can perform rehabilitation exercises according to the game. Kinect dynamically tracks the patient's movements and collects the data, which is then transmitted to the doctor. Kinect allows Jintronix to capture 25 joints in the 3D space at 30 times per second, tracking 130,000 data points per minute, allowing doctors to obtain more accurate and meaningful data, such as patient balance, The speed of movement, the magnitude of the movement, and the angle at which their joints can move—these data allow the physician to calculate problems such as the shoulder pressure of the patient and the range of shoulder movement. These games include rehabilitation exercises tailored to the patient by the physiotherapist. This remote "face-to-face" clinical treatment allows therapists and doctors to monitor the patient's recovery and provide feedback to the patient in video form. The patient only needs to follow the prompts and feedback given by the software and gradually exercise to achieve the purpose of rehabilitation.
In addition, data on patient rehabilitation are available for preventive research. For example, the problem of falls in the elderly has been very common, and the US healthcare system has invested heavily in research funding for this issue. And Jintronix's products are being used to study the risk of falling in the elderly. Jintronix attempts to accurately calculate the frequency and magnitude of the patient's body shaking or moving so they can help the elderly prevent falls. Jintronix received approval from the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) in May 2014. This is the first time the FDA has approved the direct application of Microsoft Kinect to healthcare devices.
Target customers
Jintronix is ​​designed primarily for patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery such as hip replacement, hip fracture, total knee replacement, and some patients with neurological diseases such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Most of these customers come from hospitals, technical care facilities and rehabilitation centers in the United States. The customer pays the purchase price monthly and provides feedback to Jintronix to help Jintronix complete the platform. Since 2012, Jintronix has helped more than 5,000 patients complete rehabilitation in their comfortable home.
In addition to meeting the needs of physical therapy services, Jintronix is ​​a powerful tool to help clinicians expand their clinical services.
The effectiveness of Jintronix
In the past 2015, clinical validation is a very important part of digital medical startups, and Jintronix is ​​no exception.
Jintronix's current CEO and co-founder Mark Elvin mentioned in a telephone interview in 2015 that the medical collaboration center near Montreal explored the ability of Jintronix's recovery tracking technology to improve walking speed. He said that this study has a major finding that there is already a lot of evidence that walking speed is related to mortality. The slower the walking speed, the higher the mortality rate. The research team divided the patients into two groups, one using the Jintronix platform and the other not using it. It turned out that the group of people using the Jintronix platform was walking faster. This is very exciting for providers of assisted living and long-term care centers and bundled payment program developers. And this technology will be released this year.
In addition, Jintronix released a data dashboard in the fall of 2015 that aggregates patient data automatically transmitted from the recovery platform. This data dashboard is very important for the provider of assisted living, and with the dashboard they can quantify the patient's recovery and continue to pay for reimbursement.
Although it is Jintronix's powerful driving force to make patients live a happy life, reducing medical expenses is the selling point of Jintronix. The hospital will soon charge the patient for the use of Jintronix, but Jintronix must ensure the patient's safety and the patient can also use Jintronix for rehabilitation at home.
Advantages of Jintronix
Increase reimbursement costs
Jintronix can provide insurance companies with the data they need to assess their reimbursement costs and continue treatment. With the Jintronix platform, physicians can access a variety of effective assessment metrics and a variety of ways to demonstrate patient progress, such as forms, pictures or videos.
Automated documentation
The data tracked by Jintronix can be quickly output and effectively recorded. In this way, Jintronix can automatically generate files, saving doctors time to fill out various types of written documents, so that doctors have more time to treat patients.
Enhanced adherence <br> According to the survey, more than 65% of patients cannot complete or even complete the rehabilitation exercise required by the doctor. And once the patient leaves the clinic, it is difficult for the physician to determine if the patient is following the doctor's advice for rehabilitation. However, with Jintronix, this game-like treatment mode changes the patient's psychological feelings for daily rehabilitation exercises, the patient's resistance will be weakened, and compliance will be enhanced. In addition, the physician can detect the problems faced by the patient when they are not in the clinic through the remote monitoring platform.
More motivating
Jintronix is ​​more motivated and inspired by the use of game elements such as scoring, medals and social media to engage patients in the treatment process. The more incentives a patient receives, the more likely the patient will recover quickly.
More affordable <br> The rehabilitation of patients in the clinic is basically one-to-one, expensive and limited. Jintronix allows patients to enjoy quality treatment at an affordable price.
More convenient treatment <br> The patient does not need to travel to the clinic for rehabilitation. Jintronix enables the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises at home, and the doctor can remotely monitor and guide the patient for rehabilitation.
Company origin
Jintronix was co-founded in 2010 by Justin Tan, Shawn Errunza, Mark Evin, Lex Youssef, and Sonny Sung Jun Bae. Justin Tan wants to help the father of stroke recover from physical therapy, but he realizes that for many patients traditional physical therapy is very expensive and laborious, and many people are even unable to treat it. As a result, several co-founders worked with physiotherapists to create Jintronix, an affordable interactive virtual rehabilitation system.
Company fund raising and development
In 2012, Jintronix transferred its business from Montreal, Canada to Washington, USA. In November 2012, Metron Ventures provided seed funding of $1.2 million to Jintronix, and the company relocated its headquarters to Seattle.
Jintronix's current chief operating officer, Daniel Schacter, attended the Wharton Medical Conference in February 2015 and said that Jintronix has begun to raise shares, trying to double the number of existing employees and expand its interactive physiotherapy platform. Schacter said that Jintronix may raise more than $3 million, but expects to raise $5 million and expand its 10-25 employees, including salespeople, programmers and data experts. At present, Jintronix has partnered with 70 physicians to increase the patient's adherence to physical exercise from 20% to 75%-80%. In addition, the company is currently conducting 14 clinical studies.
Schacter mentioned at the meeting that the biggest challenge for Jintronix is ​​not to reimburse the cost, but to convince the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises, but there is no competition between rehabilitation and reimbursement. If Jintronix has a value proposition that can make rehabilitation work transition to quality assessment, speed up the assessment of patients' performance in rehabilitation, and improve patient satisfaction, it is easier to convince clinics to use Jintronix once they explain these value propositions to the clinic. Schanter said, "We have proven that our platform model is effective, and now we need to expand our business."
In addition to helping older people recover from orthopedic surgery, stroke and traumatic brain injury, Jintronix is ​​also actively exploring other areas such as sports medicine. In January 2015, Jintronix worked with Highmark and Allegheny Health System to assess the risk of anterior cruciate ligament strain in student athletes. Jintronix won the Montreal International Entrepreneurship Award in 2012 and the Global Health Industry Star Award in the Canadian Challenge.
