Click an industry below to see how our software adapts instantly to your clinical workflow.
Protect vulnerable residents by replacing subjective observational screening with zero-bias optical sensors. Instantly identify physical frailty changes.
Expanding the possibilities beyond traditional balance assessment.
Unlike electrical strain gauges, optical fibre strands read micro-movements natively without environmental degradation or re-zeroing delays.
Run complex Balance Error Scoring Systems directly through integrated software to flag athletic neurological baselines instantly.
No heavy wall adapters. The mat plugs directly into any Windows laptop or clinic tablet, generating instant diagnostic exports.
Explore peer-reviewed studies and balance assessment whitepapers utilizing the Balance Mat system.
Our research library includes clinical evaluations focusing on postural sway analysis, sports concussion baselines, and falls prevention metrics across major Australian medical institutions.
Balance Mat is actively deployed across leading hospitals, universities, and physiotherapy clinics worldwide.
