Physical therapists unable to verify home exercise compliance between sessions

Physical therapists cannot reliably track whether patients are doing prescribed exercises at home, leading to slower recovery and repeated injuries. Existing solutions require expensive wearables or complex setups; most therapists resort to asking patients verbally, which yields inaccurate data and undermines treatment effectiveness.
