We’re Finalists: Reimagining Healthy Ageing with MAI Motion™
MSK Doctors & Associates has been named a Finalist in the Santander X Global Challenge | Reimagine Silver Age (Scaleup). For our team, this recognition isn’t just a badge — it’s validation that objective, accessible motion analysis can help people age well with strength, balance, and independence.
Why movement data matters as we age
Mobility underpins everything: confidence, social connection, independence, even the ability to recover when things go wrong. Subtle changes in how we move often appear long before day-to-day life is limited. Yet most assessments still happen infrequently and rely heavily on human observation. That means early decline can be missed, and opportunities for prevention are lost.
What is MAI Motion?
MAI Motion is a markerless motion analysis platform that turns a standard camera (phone or laptop) into a 3D movement. In seconds, short everyday tasks — sit-to-stand, step, or squat — are recorded and analysed. Our algorithms extract objective motion biomarkers into clear scores.
In practice, this means:
-
No special hardware — just a camera most people already have.
-
Dynamic analysis — measuring how people move in real life.
-
Actionable insights — data that supports targeted, stepwise care.
Regeneration first: our clinical philosophy
Where clinically appropriate, we prioritise regeneration and preservation before replacement. By quantifying movement quality and tracking change, MAI Motion helps clinicians:
-
Identify early decline and intervene with targeted exercise and education.
-
Tailor non-operative pathways and keep patients informed with objective feedback.
-
Monitor post-treatment progress consistently across clinic, home, and community settings.
What this means for patients, clinicians, and partners
For patients & families
Earlier answers, clearer plans, and simple follow-up. Seeing objective scores can be motivating, turning “I feel different” into “I can see my progress.”
For clinicians & providers
A quick, consistent way to capture motion health, reduce subjectivity, and support decision-making.
For community & research partners
A scalable tool for population-level programmes focused on prevention, falls risk, and functional independence, with the potential to track outcomes at scale.
Why the Santander X recognition matters
Santander X champions innovations that improve lives. Being selected as a finalist strengthens our mission: make motion health measurable, understandable, and actionable — so more people can live independently for longer, and health systems can prioritise hands-on care where it’s needed most.
