CEO of MultiSensKnit
As CEO of MultiSensKnit I am focused on making rehabilitation easier, faster, and more accessible for patients and clinicians. They need better tools to monitor patient progress. For example, patients recovering from stroke, musculoskeletal injury, and orthopedic surgery need 24-hour-a-day clinically supervised rehabilitation to speed recovery. Other areas, such as neurorehabilitation, physical therapy, and orthopedic care, need to move from periodic check-ins to 24-hour-a-day care.
MultiSensKnit, transforms everyday clothing into a clinically meaningful monitoring system making rehabilitation more continuous, objective, and accessible to patients and their care team by embedding sensing directly into garments that patients can wear comfortably in their daily life.
MultiSensKnit integrates electromyography, electrical impedance tomography, and joint motion tracking directly into a machine-washable garment manufactured through existing and widely available industrial digital knitting machines. Embedded conductive structures are made from the textile itself which enable multimodal biosignal acquisition from the human body without sacrificing comfort, durability, or usability. Patients wear the system like regular clothing, while their progress is monitored remotely by their care team.
MultiSensKnit stands apart from existing rehabilitation technologies because we combine multimodal sensing and real-world wearability in a single garment. Currently, solutions rely on rigid/hard sensors, single-modality measurements, and/or bulky devices that are difficult to use consistently from inside to outside the clinic. In contrast, MultiSensKnit is an integrated garment that captures multiple recovery signals from muscles and other tissue all at once while remaining soft, washable, and scalable for everyday use. As a result, clinicians get continuous insight into patient recovery all the while giving patients a more natural rehabilitation experience.
I am building a path toward data-driven rehabilitation that fits seamlessly into patients’ lives. I am now seeking funding opportunities, pilot study chances, and strategic support to help bring MultiSensKnit into everyday rehabilitation care.
