Wearables Expand Access Without Sacrificing Quality
- Wearable movement tech can increase access and relieve therapy administrative burden without lowering care quality.
- University Hospitals validated UGen's platform for maintaining PT-level outcomes while scaling throughput and efficiency.
Clinicians Should Monitor New Technology Trends
