Problem Statement
Based on market analysis, interviews, and data analysis, we find that there’s high percentage of people with Musculoskeletal [MSK] problems in the United States and the demand for physical therapy is increasing. Moreover, we realize that physical therapy is expensive for each therapy session so that some people find it is hard to afford；Some kind of the therapy can be done at home and patients do not require an actual visit to the clinic；Some people go to the therapy clinic are just for companion and the sense of identity. Furthermore, because of the Covid-19, it is difficult for many people to have access to the clinic. In conclusion, we find that physical therapy is in super high demand and we can see the growing market for remote therapy.
