Hinge Health unveils new AI-powered care tools

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hinge Health, Inc. (NYSE:HNGE) today announced two AI-powered care tools: Movement Analysis uses computer vision to set a new standard for tracking musculoskeletal (MSK) outcomes, and Robin is an AI Care Assistant that provides instant support for members. Hinge Health also published its AI care principles, which guide the development of AI across its platform.

“Our thoughtful investments in AI are transforming how our members experience care,” said Daniel Perez, Co-Founder and CEO of Hinge Health. “Our new Movement Analysis and our AI Care Assistant, Robin, are the latest examples of how we’re using technology to make care more accessible, personalized, and effective.”

Reimagining outcome tracking with AI

There are many measurement tools to track outcomes in MSK care; while valuable - almost all rely on subjective questions and are therefore self-report only. Hinge Health’s new Movement Analysis uses TrueMotion® computer vision technology to guide members through targeted movements - capturing joint angles, symmetry, and endurance. Pairing those objective measurements with targeted questions creates first-of-its-kind Hinge Scores for joint health. This enables members to monitor their own progress and their relative performance compared to others. Meanwhile, clinicians gain a uniquely composite view to make faster, more impactful, and personalized treatment decisions.

Complementing the care team with AI

The best orthopedic clinics employ diverse care teams across various specialities. Likewise, one of Hinge Health’s greatest strengths is its comprehensive care team of doctors, physical therapists, nurses, and health coaches. Now, we're complementing our care team with Robin, a groundbreaking AI Care Assistant that provides 24/7 support. Robin is a smart and increasingly capable companion that can help members navigate their care.

Robin’s first task is recognizing pain flare-ups, a typical occurrence in a member’s care journey. Robin instantly gathers more details, shares resources, and summarizes the situation for the member’s physical therapist - accelerating care. Soon Robin will answer common questions, share insights, and proactively check in with members.

Commitments for responsible AI development

Responsible AI development is foundational to Hinge Health's approach. The below core commitments guide the company's AI development decisions:

• AI that is thoughtfully designed
• AI that is built responsibly
• AI that complements human care

Underpinning these commitments are principles that prioritize ethical use, privacy and security, transparency, and continuous improvement. For more, see this page on Hinge Health’s website.
