Summary

The QuickTech Mobile Application is an innovative solution developed by Radian Health, a medtech startup dedicated to facilitating faster, easier, and more affordable orthopedic recovery to improve patient outcomes. This mobile app specifically focuses on measuring the range of motion (ROM) of joints in patients' hands, allowing for accurate tracking of orthopedic recovery progress.

The significance of the QuickTech Mobile Application lies in addressing the challenges faced by patients with hand and wrist ailments, such as arthritis, who require at-home exercises as a critical component of their rehabilitation. Non-compliance to these exercises can significantly impact treatment effectiveness and prolong the recovery process. Traditional methods of measuring ROM, involving analog goniometers in clinical settings, restrict patients from effectively tracking their own progress and lack the necessary motivation for consistent engagement.

The QuickTech Mobile Application leverages cutting-edge technologies, including AI, computer vision, and deep learning, to enable patients, doctors, physical therapists (PTs), and occupational therapists (OTs) to collect accurate ROM data in real-time using their iOS or Android devices. By utilizing computer vision algorithms, the app can detect and label hand joints with high accuracy. Additionally, it reconstructs and triangulates the 2D predictions of hand positions into a 3D representation, allowing for precise measurement of ROM.

The long-term impact of the QuickTech Mobile Application is reflected in its ability to enhance patient engagement and rehabilitation effectiveness. By providing actionable data to key stakeholders, including doctors, PTs, and OTs, the app enables remote monitoring and facilitates adaptive therapy in response to patient progression. This results in reduced recovery duration and improved patient outcomes.

My Contributions

As the leader and founder of Radian Health and in my role as the business development officer and marketing director, I played a significant role in the development and launch of the QuickTech Mobile Application. My contributions encompassed strategic planning, project management, and leveraging my expertise as a product manager.

I actively participated in the initial concept development and identified the market need for a mobile app capable of measuring ROM in the hand. Through my engagement with investors, mentors, and key stakeholders, I secured the necessary support and resources to drive the project forward.

In collaboration with the development team, I provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire product lifecycle. I facilitated the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, computer vision, and deep learning, ensuring the app's accuracy and performance in measuring ROM without the need for a goniometer.

Furthermore, I played a crucial role in establishing partnerships with local healthcare organizations, including Carilion Clinic, to ensure the successful distribution and adoption of the QuickTech Mobile Application. By identifying orthopedic patients actively involved in PT/OT programs, we targeted our initial primary users and customers who were seeking a quick and effective recovery.

Overall, my contributions as a product manager in leading the development and commercialization of the QuickTech Mobile Application have been instrumental in bringing this innovative solution to the market. Through strategic decision-making, resource allocation, and a focus on user needs, I have helped create a product that has the potential to significantly improve orthopedic rehabilitation outcomes and patient experiences.
