Project Outline

Mend is a physical therapy webapp that is focused on building motivation for patients. The goal of the project is to create an app for people in physical therapy that actually informs them about their progress, or even setbacks, along the way and motivates them to keep going, regardless of their recovery timeline. We aim to understand the different physical and mental obstacles our users may face. Whether they have clear recovery goals or a less defined path to recovery, we will focus on supporting their individual needs through a positive, motivational experience.

The battle of recovery from injuries in physical therapy is not just physical, but mental as well. Our project aims to keep people motivated and encouraged throughout the recovery process by utilizing gamification and clearly highlighting their progress while providing useful instructions in their daily exercises. Additionally, many people who go to physical therapy receive physical papers from their therapists with instructions on the exercise; we aim to provide more convenient access to these exercises through our digital content library.

More Coming Soon!

Our team is currently working on building our MVP for Mend. Our timeline for completing this project is mid-April. Keep up with what we have been building through our blog!
