Transforming physical therapy through objective data

In the often subjective, imprecise domain of musculoskeletal health, FIGUR8 provides the first FDA-registered, accurate, objective MSK assessment that’s practical for any physical therapy clinic. This system needed to be fast and reliable, and it needed to produce clear reports to help inform treatment and track patient recovery. One particularly challenging aspect: how could we guide the clinician toward perfect sensor placement, every time? I conducted usability studies to identify key stumbling points; I developed potential concepts, and made physical mockups of the most promising approaches; and I road-tested functional prototypes, collecting vital data that would help leadership make informed product decisions.

Fail fast. A clear "No" can be just as valuable as a "Yes."

I identified the root cause, generated 13 concepts, prototyped the top 5, and validated the solution — reducing the clinical error rate from 13% to 6%. This led directly to increased revenue, but more importantly, it enabled physical therapists to collect more accurate, reliable data, driving more targeted treatment, and ultimately, better patient care.
