Hipper focuses on improving recovery after hip fractures in elderly patients (80+) – with a value proposition around early discharge from care centers and improved rehabilitation outcome.
After a patient has fallen they are often worried about falling again and may lack confidence. This reduces activity levels which impacts rehabilitation and can lead to a downward cycle.
Hipper monitors activity through a small wearable device and enables a therapist to use a data-driven approach for both physical and mental rehabilitation.
Efficacy of the system has been validated in trials with the Amsterdam UMC, showing improved recovery speed for patients using Hipper technology.
