Episode 08: How to go from PT clinic owner to wearable technology co-founder
Jon Eng is the co-host in the hot seat today, interviewed by fellow co-host Jaydee Romick. Jon leads us through his transition from PT clinic owner to startup co-founder and his goal to develop a technology that augments the PT clinician, not replaces them. Jon started with the basics of biomechanics history—loads and forces on the body. The outcome was developing a technology that makes the invisible visible—showing PTs the loads and forces on the body. The engagement with patients is so different now that they can easily see what their movement looks like—the objective data—they get it, they understand what’s going on, and the clinician can accelerate the conversation with the patients about how to improve instead of spending time on convincing them what the problem is. Listen in and hear how Jon sees this technology shaping the future of physical therapy.
