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.

ETB开发了一种创新的服务解决方案，以帮助人们解决行动问题;一种基于步态监测传感器的工具，GaitSmart。我们已经证明，关节置换患者和有跌倒风险的老年人的活动能力结果很差，这可以通过我们的GaitSmart服务得到改善。我们是世界上唯一一个能够在诊所准确识别和量化步态问题的系统，以便提供和监测有针对性的理疗。我们开始为英国的关节置换患者和有跌倒风险的老年人提供这项服务，并刚刚开始为NHS提供NICE程序。美国市场的人口结构与英国相同，人口是英国的7倍，并且有报销计划，这使得ETB成为一个非常有吸引力的市场，以提高我们的竞争力。在这个项目中，我们将探索将我们的产品扩展到美国市场的可能性。这将改善美国患者的治疗，也将对ETB的竞争力产生重大影响。
