Digital Musculoskeletal (MSK) Clinic™ Hinge Health has announced its intention to combine with wrnch, the self-described ‘world’s most sophisticated computer vision technology’ for use in tracing human motion.
Wrnch combines full-body movement motion sensors and innovative computer vision technology to create a comprehensive digital exercise therapy. The technology that fuels wrnch mirrors that utilized by motion picture industry and top athletes. Hinge Health currently has the world’s largest digital health computer vision team.
“We built wrnch into the world’s leading artificial intelligence and computer vision R&D lab to understand human motion, shape, and intent,” said founder and CEO Paul A. Kruszewski, M.D. “I’m so excited to combine our artificial intelligence technology with Hinge Health’s Digital MSK Clinic to improve clinical outcomes for millions of members.”
San Francisco-based Hinge Health specializes in MSK pain reduction and surgery via its patient-centered, cutting edge Digital MSK Clinic. Computer vision technology, advanced wearable sensors and a comprehensive clinical team of providers are employed to create the most evidence-based, innovative solutions in the field.
Hinge Health is the leading Digital MSK Clinic, available to over 12 million members with over 500 employees in San Francisco, Portland, Minneapolis, and Chicago.
Hinge Health touts the most advanced tech portfolio for individualized treatment of MSK care, using motion sensor and computer vision to capture data. It also incorporates wearable non addictive pain relief technology, Hinge Health Enso and provides a platform to integrate virtual and in-person health data with over 750,000 providers data-enabling highly effective real-time intervention (HingeConnect).
According to the Company, buying wrnch technology highlights Hinge Health’s commitment to developing innovative MSK care, improved patient outcomes and reduced costs. Wrnch technology includes motion assessments, expanded exercise tracking and enhanced clinical care programs.
Hinge Health CEO and cofounder Daniel Perez told OTW, “Acquiring wrnch’s computer vision technology gives our clinical care team the market’s most precise movement-tracking technology. Specifically, adding CV to our motion capture suite (which already includes motion sensors) will allow us to conduct full body motion assessments, expand our exercise tracking, and vastly improves our ability to treat indications digital providers have struggled with—like hand or neck rehab.”
