Wyoming, Michigan Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
TracPatch Health LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in wearable medical monitoring. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12102425, titled ‘System and methods for monitoring the spine, balance, gait, or posture of a patient’, introduces a smart system for tracking patient mobility in real time.
This cutting-edge technology uses wearable sensors to capture detailed movement data related to posture, balance, spine alignment, and gait. The system transmits this information to healthcare providers, enabling remote monitoring of recovery and physical therapy progress without the need for constant in-person visits.
Unlike traditional motion analysis tools, TracPatch’s system is lightweight, non-invasive, and designed for continuous wear. It gives doctors and therapists real-time insight into how a patient moves throughout the day, not just during clinical evaluations. The result is faster, more personalized care and earlier detection of issues that could lead to complications.
This patent marks a leap forward in digital health technology. By improving how clinicians track recovery and physical health metrics, TracPatch helps patients heal more effectively and stay connected with their care team. It also reduces strain on healthcare systems by minimizing unnecessary appointments and enabling data-driven decisions. With this innovation, TracPatch is reshaping how movement health is measured and managed.
