Founded in April 2012, ProtoKinetics is a team of engineers and biomechanists focused on making gait and balance assessment more useful in clinical care and research. Its technology helps clinicians and researchers collect objective movement data to evaluate interventions and track mobility, while the company provides university-level guidance on implementation.
Biomed Consulting, IncFounded by biomedical engineering and predictive-modeling experts Rajshree and Howard Hillstrom, Biomed Consulting develops engineering-based medical technologies and data-driven solutions for healthcare. The New York company focuses especially on musculoskeletal care, translating clinical biomechanics and computational modeling into tools such as an automated, portable device for objective foot-structure measurements. Its founders bring more than 50 years of combined experience, alongside a record of more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, 10 book chapters and six patents.NEW YORK, NY
HumotechFounded in 2015 as a Carnegie Mellon University spin-off, Pittsburgh-based Humotech develops wearable robotics and mobility technology for prosthetic research, clinical evaluation, and human-movement innovation. Its Caplex® platform lets researchers and clinicians emulate different mechanical behaviors with modular systems, while the company’s FDA-registered Clinical Caplex® System supports data-driven prosthetic-foot trials for people with limb loss. Founder Josh Caputo’s original question—whether robotics could create a better prosthetic foot—still shapes Humotech’s work across the laboratory and clinic.541715PITTSBURGH, PA
