Wear Your Coach: A Live Wearable Movement Demo - #NYTechWeek
Hosted by
^⎵^
*◟*A live wearable healthtech demo + discussion event at NY Tech Week 2026.
For patients with lumbar scoliosis, rehabilitation exercises are often prescribed as part of long-term treatment. But once patients leave the clinic, a challenge emerges:
How do they know they’re performing the exercises correctly at home?
Without a therapist present, many patients unintentionally compensate, lose their corrective posture, or practice movements incorrectly, reducing the effectiveness of treatment.
LumbarGuide was developed to address this gap.
Using wearable motion sensors and real-time haptic feedback, LumbarGuide helps patients receive immediate guidance while performing lumbar scoliosis rehabilitation exercises, bringing aspects of clinical feedback into the home environment.
This interactive session offers a chance to experience the technology firsthand and discuss the broader future of wearable healthcare.
The evening features:
🦴 Live LumbarGuide Demonstration
See how the system uses dual IMU sensors to monitor body position and provide real-time feedback during scoliosis rehabilitation exercises. Learn how wearable technology can support patients between clinic visits and improve adherence to home-based therapy.
💡 Discussion: The Future of Wearable Healthcare
Join founders, engineers, clinicians, researchers, investors, and healthtech enthusiasts for a conversation about wearable technology, rehabilitation, patient adherence, and the future of home-based healthcare.
🤝 Networking
Connect with professionals and builders working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and innovation.
Hear the story behind LumbarGuide, from identifying a challenge in lumbar scoliosis rehabilitation to developing a wearable system designed to help patients practice more accurately outside the clinic.
Whether you’re interested in digital health, rehabilitation technology, wearables, or healthcare innovation, you’ll gain insight into how real-time feedback may transform the way patients engage with treatment beyond the clinic walls.
No medical background needed. Just bring your curiosity.
