For clinicians
Help shape better physical-function assessment.
Kinegrade is an early-stage health technology concept exploring how physical-function assessment, reassessment and longitudinal follow-up could work better in clinical practice.
We are currently speaking with healthcare professionals to understand how measurements are performed today, where the workflow breaks down, and what would actually be useful in practice.
This is not a sales call and taking part does not commit you or your organisation to using Kinegrade. We are trying to understand the problem before deciding exactly what should be built.
Why we’re talking to clinicians
The workflow matters more than the software.
Physical function is measured throughout rehabilitation, ageing, illness and recovery — but individual measurements are only useful if they can be collected consistently and interpreted over time.
Kinegrade is exploring whether healthcare organisations have a meaningful problem around how physical-function assessments are performed, documented and repeated.
We are particularly interested in what happens between assessments: when reassessment should happen, whether it actually happens, how previous results are found, and how professionals determine whether physical function is improving, stable or deteriorating.
What we’re investigating
We are testing the problem before committing to the solution.
Kinegrade currently has working product concepts and prototypes, but the important questions are still clinical and operational.
Assessment consistency
Whether physical-function assessments are performed consistently between professionals, locations and patient populations.
Reassessment
How professionals decide when a patient should be reassessed and whether those reassessments happen reliably in practice.
Documentation
How measurement results are recorded today and whether previous results can be found and compared efficiently.
Longitudinal understanding
Whether professionals can easily understand how a patient’s strength, mobility or functional capacity is changing over time.
Organisational visibility
Whether managers can understand assessment activity, reassessment compliance and patient outcomes across teams or clinics.
Who we’d like to speak with
Professionals who work with physical function in practice.
You do not need to use any particular device, assessment protocol or software to participate.
Physiotherapists
Professionals assessing strength, mobility, balance, recovery or functional capacity.
Rehabilitation professionals
Clinicians involved in repeated assessment and monitoring across rehabilitation pathways.
Geriatric & older-person services
Professionals working with mobility, frailty, sarcopenia or functional decline.
Clinical leads & managers
People responsible for clinical quality, standardisation, outcomes or service development.
The conversation
What we’ll ask you about.
The interview is informal and focused on your current workflow, not on convincing you that Kinegrade is the answer.
What you measure
Which measures you use, with which patients and why.
How measurements are performed
Equipment, protocols, instructions and practical variation.
How results are recorded
Documentation systems, spreadsheets, notes and other tools currently used.
How reassessment works
When patients are re-measured, who is responsible and what tends to get missed.
What would actually improve the workflow
Where software, automation or better data could make a meaningful difference — and where it would not.
What happens afterwards
No obligation. Potentially, a next step.
What we learn from these conversations will directly influence how Kinegrade is developed and which problems we decide to focus on.
If there appears to be a strong fit between Kinegrade and your organisation’s needs, we may later discuss prototype testing, workflow validation or an early pilot.
Current stage
We are deliberately still validating the problem.
Kinegrade is not being presented here as a finished clinical product. The purpose of these conversations is to understand whether the underlying problem is important enough to solve, for whom, and under what conditions.
