UC graduate develops in-home physical therapy company
Cincinnati Business Courier highlights Venture Lab-backed startup Band Connect
University of Cincinnati Venture Lab-backed startup Band Connect is nearing a close on its pre-seed round of funding and will start a pilot with the Department of Defense, the Cincinnati Business Courier reported.
Band Connect is developing fitness equipment outfitted with sensors to promote in-home physical therapy and recently launched its first clinical trials. The company offers more than 50 exercises for shoulder conditions and will add exercises for hip and knee conditions.
