Benefits of a virtual therapist
In a rapidly advancing digital world, the benefits of a virtual therapist are something many wouldn’t have considered. We’re happy to go online for our finances, food, transport… the list is almost endless. But when it came to our medical needs, the traditional approach – dealing with real people face to face – seemed like […]

Our sports injury app is rapidly taking shape
So much has happened since our last update! We’ll cover it all, blow by blow. But first, here’s a quick explainer video… The brain is almost complete… Much like Frankenstein’s creation, the app is a composite of many parts.

One small step, one giant leap…
“Progress is never a linear journey” – Reality While consistent steady progress is great, it’s also very rare. Complex projects, with a number of moving parts, are prone to periods of flat-lining. This project is no different. It happens when one aspect of the build needs to catch up to the rest. Or it might […]

Early appdev signs are looking good
The big focus in the early stages is to refine the backend process and ensure its ready for future expansion. Ideally it’s ready to accept new diagnostic categories, tweaks to the algorithm and the addition of new questions. Additions like these should be able to be added with minimal input from the developers. Basically they […]

Wheels in motion!
It’s on! We’ve written the first line of code. We’ve designed the app layout and flow. And we’ve prioritised the app features according to market feedback. So far the most important two features are: Free – seems like a free app is the way to go, as who doesn’t like free stuff, right? The free […]

Refining the goals
Spent more time refining the model and very quickly realised I need to play to my strengths. My expertise is in the lower body – essentially the lower back and down – so the first model will just cover those areas. The next realisation is that there won’t be one type of mathematical equation that […]

The journey begins…
Starting off in my Physiotherapy career in Sydney 20-ish years ago, I gravitated towards two aspects of the profession – diagnostic reasoning and biomechanical analysis. I also enjoyed combining my clinical work with educational work, lecturing at university and running in-clinic programs. Fast forward to 2015 and work started on developing a mathematical model.
