Who we are?
EKINNOX's mission is to democratize human motion analysis by developping simple, reliable and accessible solutions.
The project is based on a motion analysis system leveraging cutting-edge computer vision technologies. Initially designed to assess people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, it was developed for over than 5 years within a public reasearch institute, in particular by Baptiste FOSTY.
Launched in 2015, this project led to the creation of EKINNOX in 2017, which is now managed by Baptiste FOSTY and Nicolas MAIRE.
The first product, KinTracK, is a Medical Device for quantified and visual motion analysis dedicated to caregivers in physical rehabilitation. Consisting of a medical cart equipped with a computer and a camera, KinTracK measures gait and movement spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters, and provides a powerful visual analysis platform thanks to the 2D and 3D videos.
Certified quality!
To guarantee the security and safety of our product, EKINNOX certified its Quality Management System according to the ISO13485 Medical Device standard.
