Can you tell us about your company and how you got your start?
In the US, healthcare access is economically segregated, leading to a 14-year life expectancy gap between high and low-income residents. At TheraMotive, we aim to desegregate healthcare by partnering with community organizations, providing smart, portable physical therapy clinics equipped with AI, virtual reality, and wearable devices for precise patient guidance and progress tracking. As a clinician from NYC's inner city, I've witnessed healthcare disparities. TheraMotive strives to bridge the gap between communities, innovation, and healthcare.
What is your latest project and what excites you about it?
As TheraMotive scales production of our portable clinics across the country, we are building software to create a mobile clinic-sharing platform similar to Uber’s ride-sharing software to identify regional healthcare gaps across the country. We’ll match requests for our mobile clinic to route our clinics directly into community hubs where they’re most needed. Our clinic-sharing software is the first of its kind with immense potential to transform how physical therapy is accessed from the ground up!
What excites you about living and working in Queens?
The Queens Chamber of Commerce and Queens College Tech Incubator are organizations that are forward thinking and community-centered, which bring innovation directly into Queens communities. Each week, they bring something new into communities from hosting tech fairs to overseeing healthcare committees. The Queens Chamber of Commerce is taking a 360-degree approach in addressing the needs of Queens residents.
