ETB has developed an innovative service solution to help people with mobility issues; a gait monitoringsensor based tool, GaitSmart. We have shown that outcomes regarding mobility for joint replacementpatients and the elderly at risk of falling are poor and this can be improved using our GaitSmart service.Ours is the only system in the world that enables gait problems to be accurately identified and quantifiedin the clinic so that targeted physio can be given and monitored. We are starting to provide this service forjoint replacement patients and the elderly at risk of falling in the UK and are just commencing the NICEprocedure for the NHS.The US market has the same demographics as the UK, 7 times the population and a reimbursementscheme for payment, making it a very attractive market for ETB to improve our competitiveness. In thisproject we will explore the possibility of extending our offering in to the US market. This will improve thetreatment for US patients and it will also have a significant impact on the competitiveness of ETB.
