Project Brief

The MedTech company is dedicated to improving the detection and monitoring of frailty and sarcopenia in aging populations. It develops AI-powered, sensor-based solutions that make physical performance testing faster, more accurate, and easier to integrate into routine care.

With clinical certification and adoption in over 70% of Korea’s top hospitals, the technology delivers standardized, objective assessments that help reduce the risk of falls, hospitalizations, and long-term care dependency.

Overview of the Technology

The system automates validated assessments such as:

• Gait Speed

• Sit-to-Stand Performance

• Static Balance

• Timed Up & Go (TUG)

• Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

Key features:

• Contactless LiDAR-based motion tracking

• AI-driven frailty index and functional age estimation

• Less than 3 minutes per test

• Cost-effective (<$1/test)

• Portable, easy-to-use design

Expert Criteria

Medical Experts:

• Geriatricians (5+ years)

• Physiotherapists (10+ years in elderly care)

Geographical Focus: India, Southeast Asia, and Middle East Asia

Purpose of Interview

• Map current frailty assessment practices and challenges.

• Gather feedback on workflow integration and usability.

• Explore commercial pathways, reimbursement models, and adoption strategies
