The 6th vital sign, measured the same way every time

Every step.
Measured.
Understood.

Time a walk over a known distance at your usual, comfortable pace. You get your speed in m/s, your band on the published scale, and an estimated gait age. No account, nothing to buy, nothing stored. Or walk in front of your camera and see cadence and symmetry live; the video stays in your browser.

Live today: the walk interpreter and the camera page. Sensor insoles are planned. A clinician-review path is in design, and billing stays with the practice.

1.0–1.2 m/s — the typical, lower-risk range, but still short of the 1.2 m/s needed to clear a standard US street crossing in time.

4 m in 3.4 s, the interpreter’s own default. Bands are for comfortable speed: a screening guide, not a diagnosis. Each 0.1 m/s faster tracks with roughly 12% lower mortality (Studenski et al., JAMA 2011; 34,485 adults 65+).

Less data. More done.

Not a dashboard. One number, one action.

Every wearable competes on more — more sensors, more scores, more charts you scroll past and never act on. Gait goes the other way. It’s a single vital sign, and it’s the rare one a clinician is paid to act on — so the number doesn’t sit in a dashboard, it triggers a review, a plan, an intervention. Before the fall, not after. That’s the whole system, told across three doors:

Hardware-agnostic

One platform. Any capture.

MotionSole is a measurement method — not a single device. Start with what you already have — Apple Health history or a live camera; no account, nothing to buy. Clinical sensor insoles are planned for continuous, high-risk monitoring. Sensors commoditize every year — the cited method, and a licensed clinician's signature (in design), do not.

Every tier is the same engine — and it rides on Apple's horizontal platform (sensors, on-device model, privacy — already in the phone, better every release), not against it. We build the vertical: the cited method, and a clinician-review path (in design). Why that division is the strategy →

The Science

Gait is the 6th Vital Sign

Heart rate. Blood pressure. Temperature. Respiratory rate. Now gait. The way you walk contains clinical signals that standard assessments miss entirely. And the signals they don’t miss, they measure inconsistently: in a survey of 514 U.S. physical therapists, 97% used standardized outcome measures — but only 48% agreed those measures are administered in a standardized way across the profession, the lowest-rated item on the survey. A camera-derived gait measure computed the same way every time is the fix they name but a hand-timed walk test can’t deliver.

AI Analysis

Reduced cadence and elevated ground contact time indicate guarded weight-bearing on the operative leg at 8 weeks post-TKA — consistent with incomplete proprioceptive recovery. Flag for PT if cadence does not improve to ≥103/min within 2 weeks.

Clinical actions

Fall Risk: Moderate-High 2 of 3 validated fall-risk criteria met. Recommend fall-prevention counseling. (Illustrative sample; caregiver alerts are a design, not built.)
Recovery Trajectory: Delayed Week-8 cadence of 97 is below the typical 100–130 steps/min range for comfortable to brisk walking.
Billing: not this tool’s call Week 8 after a knee replacement is inside the surgeon’s 90-day global period, and a surgeon cannot bill RTM inside their own global period. Any billing is the practice’s decision.
Next Action: PT Re-evaluation Symmetry at 91% is shown for context. Whether to re-evaluate is the clinician’s call; the sample only shows what they would look at.
The signature layer

Signed, not autonomous.

Sensors are becoming commodities. Algorithms are becoming commodities. The signed clinical record is not.

The design, not live yet: MotionSole’s AI drafts the interpretation — cadence, symmetry, trajectory. A licensed clinician reviews it and signs or strikes it, and is accountable for what they sign. Until a clinician signs a specific record, it is a draft. One more principle: your patients’ gait record shouldn’t be locked to whoever made the implant, the shoe, or the watch. MotionSole reads any capture source and writes to a record the surgeon owns — so when she changes vendors, the continuum doesn’t reset to zero.

AI drafts

The AI assembles the gait evidence and proposes the clinical interpretation. Fast, consistent, tireless — and never the final word.

Clinician signs

A licensed clinician reviews, edits, and signs or strikes. Accountability stays with a person whose license is on the record.

Practice owns

The signed record lives with the practice, not the device maker. Vendor-neutral capture in, surgeon-owned continuum out.

Setup

Objective, standardized data in under 2 minutes

No technician. No lab. Start with the camera you already have. Sensor insoles for continuous monitoring are planned, not available yet.

1

Wear

Open the live page and walk or march in place in front of your camera. No fit protocol, no lab visit.

2

Measure

Today: pose tracking in the browser reads cadence and left/right symmetry live; the video stays on your device. Planned insole design targets (not a shipping product): Bluetooth pairing, 2,400 readings per second, 7-day battery.

3

Act

In design: AI drafts the findings — gait score, fall-risk flag, recovery status — and a licensed clinician reviews them and signs or strikes. Not live yet.

RTM, plainly

What RTM is, and who bills it.

MotionSole bills nothing and promises no payment; RTM billing is the practice's own decision under its payer rules, and a surgeon cannot bill RTM inside their own global surgical period. MotionSole does not submit claims.

Code Description Note
98975 RTM device setup & patient education Once per episode
98977 Musculoskeletal monitoring, per 30 days 16+ data days
98980 Treatment management, first 20 min Documented time
98981 Treatment management, each add’l 20 min Documented time

98975 bills once per episode, not monthly; RPM and RTM are mutually exclusive per patient/period; what's actually billable in a given month depends on which codes were met and the one-practitioner-per-30-days rule — there is no single blended per-patient total.

Start with the camera the patient already has — a guided walk captures the gait signal with no hardware to buy or wear. Sensor insoles are planned. Threshold flags that ask a clinician to look are a design, not built yet.

Billing, if any, is done by the practice under its own clinician’s NPI and payer rules.

Payment varies by payer, locality and year, and CMS changes the RTM rules over time. Read the CMS RTM brief →
