“The home has become a focal point of value-based care delivery,” the company explains in a video. “Force is taking this vision and allowing providers to make the home a meaningful, valuable, and profitable component of their evolving care continuum.”

The app, called Force Patient, which is available on iOS and Android devices, helps patients access home exercise videos, log their compliance, read educational materials, purchase recommended gear, and receive messages from their care team. Providers can use the program to view a patient’s compliance, activity levels, and outcomes.

Force Theraputics CEO and cofounder Bronwyn Spira is a physical therapist and the company’s president, Mark Lieberman, was previously at Merck and biopharmaceutical company Imclone Systems.
