Why Akina therapy is based on adjustable templates
Our therapy plan templates are specifically designed for each indication and are suitable for use with a wide range of patients. They are based on scientific literature and the expertise of leading professionals, and allow for efficient and targeted therapeutic training at home.
Akina's treatment templates balance structure and repeatable results with adaptability to patient needs and preferences. Each therapy programme is based on a standardised template. If necessary, the treating therapist can adjust the level of difficulty or substitute specific exercises.
By taking a systematic and structured approach to treatment, Akina's efficacy can be validated in clinical trials. As an effective treatment, Akina qualifies for reimbursement by statutory health insurance schemes, for example in Switzerland. This will never be possible with unstructured, completely open therapy applications. That is why we believe in customisable templates as the basis for Akina therapy.

From Research to Finished Product
How We Create Our Therapy Plans
1
Scoping Literature Research
It's not always necessary to reinvent the wheel. For many indications, treatment plans are already available in guidelines, from professional associations or from renowned clinics. We adapt this peer-reviewed, publicly available knowledge for use in our therapy programs.
For all of our therapy plans, we analyze contraindications that may make the plan unsuitable for people with certain medical conditions, injuries or who have undergone surgery.
2
Definition of Therapy Plan Structure
In a second step, we structure the physical exercises, key patient information and, where appropriate, additional therapeutic elements (e.g. mindfulness-based stress reduction for low back pain) into a basic template.
For each exercise, we also define a progression of difficulty, alternative exercises and common mistakes that are therapeutically relevant.
3
Review with Physiotherapists and Doctors
Once the full structure of the therapy plan is complete, we ask experienced physiotherapists and doctors to critically review it. Once all revisions have been accepted and the plan is deemed fit for clinical use, we hand it over to our machine learning team.
4
Training of Maia AI
For each exercise and associated error, we collect proprietary training data in a motion capture lab. We then synthesize artificial data based on the motion capture seed to multiply the number of available perspectives, body types, and environmental conditions.
We use this data to train and validate our AI models.
5
Production of Audiovisual Assets
Once the Maia AI's performance for the new therapy plan has been confirmed through technical and usability testing, we begin the production of audiovisual assets. For each exercise, we shoot video clips from multiple perspectives to instruct the patient on how to perform the exercise correctly and how to avoid common mistakes.
Our team also prepares short educational videos to convey important patient information. And that's it - the new therapy plan is complete.
