Strength you can measure.

A smart hip brace that builds core strength in children with cerebral palsy, with real-time feedback for therapists and families.

Core strength is often the missing piece in childhood rehabilitation. NeuroCore adds guided training and real-time therapist feedback to help close that gap.

How it works

Sensing

Two inertial measurement units (IMUs), one at the hip and one at the lower back, track pelvic tilt and lumbar-pelvic coordination as a child moves.

Haptic guidance

A gentle vibration cue at the site of deviation prompts an immediate, intuitive correction.

Objective data

An AI model tracks deviation frequency and response time, and shares the data with the therapist through the app.

There were no tools designed to help his body consistently engage the muscles needed to move independently.
