Okaki Health Intelligence Inc.

NLP Engine for Gait, Balance and Cognitive Assessments
FY 2023-24 · 2023-04-01
Summary
OKAKI is developing a healthcare product - Gaitly - to use mobile device cameras and state of the art deep learning (vision/NLP) to administer gait, balance and cognitive assessments. These types of assessments are important to assess risk and monitor treatment/disease progression in many common conditions (e.g., falls, concussions, Parkinson's). Gaitly will disrupt the market, and become a new standard of practice, as it will enable any healthcare provider or consumer to administer, track and share more accurate and objective, evidence-based, normative assessments. All competing products today require trained professionals, specialized equipment or wearables, or use only the motion sensors on mobile devices (vsGaitly's use of cameras).

Description
OKAKI is developing a healthcare product - Gaitly - to use mobile device cameras and state of the art deep learning (vision/NLP) to administer gait, balance and cognitive assessments. These types of assessments are important to assess risk and monitor treatment/disease progression in many common conditions (e.g., falls, concussions, Parkinson's).

Description (French)
OKAKI développe un produit de santé — Gaitly — pour utiliser les caméras des appareils mobiles et l’apprentissage profond de pointe (vision/TNL) pour administrer des évaluations de la démarche, de l’équilibre et de la cognition. Ces types d’évaluations sont importants pour évaluer les risques et surveiller le traitement/la progression de la maladie dans de nombreuses conditions courantes (par exemple, les chutes, les commotions cérébrales, la maladie de Parkinson). Gaitly va révolutionner le marché et devenir une nouvelle norme de pratique, car il permettra à tout prestataire de soins de santé ou consommateur d’administrer, de suivre et de partager des évaluations normatives plus précises et objectives, fondées sur des données probantes. Tous les produits concurrents nécessitent aujourd’hui des professionnels qualifiés, des équipements spécialisés ou des vêtements, ou n’utilisent que les capteurs de mouvement des appareils mobiles (alors que Gaitly utilise des caméras).
