Medbridge Expands AI Motion-Capture Technology To Transform MSK Care

Bellevue, Wash. – May 15, 2025 – Medbridge, the leader in digital care solutions for healthcare professionals, today announced new AI-powered motion-capture capabilities across its digital musculoskeletal (MSK) and movement-based medicine platform, Pathways. The new integrated technology combines the power of AI with motion-capture technology to make it easier for clinicians and their patients to complete prescribed exercises and activities safely, accurately, and effectively.

The platform-wide expansion builds upon Medbridge’s existing AI integration for lower back pain, making Pathways a comprehensive platform for MSK and beyond. According to recent Medbridge data, 70% of Pathways patients reduce pain with an average reduction of 40%, and 69% of patients increase function by an average of 56% using the program. With the help of AI, Pathways allows clinicians to treat more patients with improved efficiency, expanding access to care for the estimated 126 million Americans who experience an MSK condition.

“MSK issues are debilitating to millions of people around the world, and physical therapy offers a conservative, cost-effective approach to measurable improvement,” said Sarah Jacob Singh, Chief Product Officer, Medbridge. “When used in alliance with the skilled expertise of a clinician, AI-powered motion technology is a multiplier for effectiveness and outcomes. We’re thrilled to introduce this capability to help clinicians, hospitals, and health systems better support their patients with a variety of issues.”

Clinicians using Medbridge Pathways can easily and efficiently transition care from in-person appointments to at-home support. They are able to prescribe exercises, monitor patient activities, and identify progress through the platform. The AI-powered motion-capture capability delivers more accurate feedback to clinicians on how patients are completing their exercises, as well as identifies potential challenges like fall risks while providing recommendations for future exercises and education, both on the platform and during in-person visits. Research supports that a home visit plus tailored exercises can have a 48% reduction in medically treated falls and a 23.9% reduction in overall falls.

The experience for patients is similarly friction-free. Using a mobile phone or computer enabled with a camera feature, patients log in to a personal patient portal to monitor their exercises. With just the device’s camera, Medbridge’s proprietary motion capture detects body parts and positioning accurately and privately to deliver feedback to both the clinician and the patient in real time, flagging issues and correcting positioning as needed. This real-time feedback not only helps patients instantly, but it also empowers them and their clinician to work together on future exercises and education for better, faster outcomes. 

Medbridge’s AI-powered motion-capture technology is engineered to:

• Support providers in their analysis of patients’ functional movement and range of motion;

• Deliver AI patient summaries to help clinicians monitor patient progress, saving time by pulling together information from across the patient life cycle into a single, easy-to-digest paragraph for clinician review and verification; and

• Enhance personalized patient experiences through a patient copilot AI chatbot. Patients can ask and receive answers developed from a robust library of clinician-backed education and exercises.

Motion capture is one of several AI-driven initiatives currently underway at Medbridge. Designed to support hospital and health system hybrid care models, Pathways supports patients with conditions like lower-back pain, neck pain, elbow pain, hip osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, and more, promoting comprehensive care while reducing cost.
