KinetiTec, Inc.

KinetiTec™ is poised to define a new category of care: in-bed mobility intelligence. We’re tackling hospital-acquired complications and immobility harm to reduce costs to healthcare systems and extend the reach of physical therapy. Our mission: break the cycle of immobility and hospital-acquired deconditioning, a critical and often overlooked healthcare challenge that costs the U.S. over $800M annually. Alarmingly, nearly one-third of patients leave the hospital more debilitated than when they arrived — primarily due to prolonged immobility. Our innovative solution is designed to tackle this issue head-on, addressing key pain points for patients, healthcare providers, and institutions alike. KinetiTec Spark™ addresses a critical gap in inpatient mobility by objectively quantifying strength maintenance and activity progression. By transforming recumbent movement into measurable data, SPARK supports more informed clinical decisions around mobility readiness, discharge planning, and post-surgical recovery pathways. We aim to impact the time it takes for vulnerable individuals to return home and regain their independence. We are committed to patients and caregivers and to supporting a healthcare environment where mobility is prioritized, recovery is accelerated, and lives are changed for the better.
