Purpose
Augment Therapy was launched in 2017. It was founded by Lindsay Watson, a pediatric physical therapist, in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The company's mission is to improve the therapy experience for children, particularly in the pediatric market, and bring increased innovation to the field.
Where We See Impact
Augment Therapy is a telemedicine solution, making it accessible in both clinical and home settings. It doesn't require headsets or other wearable technology, which can be uncomfortable or impractical for some patients. The software and necessary equipment are portable, making it easy to use in various locations.
While it's designed for children and teens, its engaging approach can benefit people of all ages. It can be used for various conditions requiring therapeutic exercise, including those that can affect different age groups, such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and Down syndrome.
Accessing This Experience
Augment Therapy offers separate apps for patients and providers - ARwell and ARwell Pro - for phones and tablets.
