Odessa healthtech startup VITA325 has released an iOS app that turns a regular iPhone into a gait analysis tool for people recovering from injuries and amputations. No specialized labs or expensive equipment — just a smartphone that everyone has.
The app uses the iPhone’s built-in sensors and AI algorithms to analyze balance, gait symmetry, and movement dynamics during a typical walking test.
Based on the collected data, VITA325 generates structured reports that the patient can share with the rehabilitation therapist.
The first international pilot took place at the Polish Magdomed Rehabilitation Center — the first implementation outside of Ukraine. The application is already available in the App Store .
«Ukraine is facing an unprecedented rehabilitation challenge. Thousands of people need long-term recovery from injuries and amputations. Our goal is to make mobility assessment accessible using a device that most people have in their pockets,» says VITA325 founder Yulia Koynak. Traditional gait analysis requires specialized laboratories with expensive equipment. In Ukraine, where thousands of people are rehabilitating from combat injuries and amputations, access to such systems is limited.
The key idea of the product is that rehabilitation does not only take place in the hospital. The patient recovers most of the time at home, and access to a specialist is limited. VITA325 allows you to track progress between visits and maintain communication between the patient and the rehabilitation specialist remotely.
The company’s long-term goal is to build a complete digital rehabilitation ecosystem for remote monitoring, clinical collaboration, and research.
The product is aimed at three audiences: patients after injuries and surgeries, people with lower limb amputations, and rehabilitation specialists who monitor recovery dynamics.
