Band Connect

Band Connect is an FDA Class II 510(k) Exempt medical device company providing an evidence-based hybrid therapy platform for orthopedic rehabilitation. The company develops sensor-enabled connected exercise equipment paired with a clinician-directed, gamified mobile application that extends in-clinic physical therapy into the home environment. The platform enables licensed physical therapists to manage patient rehabilitation journeys remotely, monitor at-home compliance, and guide patients through personalized resistance-based exercise protocols without cameras or on-body sensors. The system leverages clinically validated resistance training pathways and provides real-time biofeedback to patients while allowing clinicians to make informed clinical decisions based on documented home therapy adherence. Band Connect addresses the sustainability challenge in orthopedic rehabilitation by reducing clinic visit frequency dependencies and improving patient compliance. The company is HIPAA-compliant and has signed the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Digital Transparency pledge, committing to the requirement that all digital physical therapy services are performed or directed exclusively by licensed physical therapists in accordance with APTA Standards of Practice. Supported by institutional partners including University of Cincinnati, UC Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Cedars-Sinai Health System, and venture backing from Jumpstart Ventures and Techstars, Band Connect serves physical therapy clinics, orthopedic practices, and health systems seeking to optimize patient outcomes and operational efficiency in rehabilitation medicine.
