Upright Science

Upright Science – FDA-Cleared Balance App Balance is the sixth vital sign — and the most overlooked. You already know the five vital signs used to measure overall health: body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. But balance is equally critical — and virtually never measured until it's too late. Falls are the leading cause of accident-related deaths for people over 60. After a serious fall, 40% of survivors will die within 6 months. Balance problems are behind virtually all of these falls — problems that could have been identified and addressed had balance been assessed regularly, just like every other vital sign. Upright Science changes that. 🏥 FDA-Cleared Balance Assessment Upright Science uses FDA-cleared technology to measure and monitor balance — bringing clinical-grade assessment to everyday life. Designed for clinicians and their patients, the app enables regular, structured balance screening so problems can be caught early and acted on. 🚶 Gait Assessment – Three Modes Upright Science includes a comprehensive gait assessment feature with three distinct test modes, each targeting a specific aspect of movement and mobility: • Walking Test — Analyses the user's gait pattern during a standard walk, assessing key biomechanical markers based on the walking environment and contextual conditions. • Running Test — Evaluates gait mechanics during a run, capturing movement data and key performance indicators specific to running dynamics. • Dual Task Test — Assesses cognitive-motor function by combining physical movement with a simultaneous cognitive challenge, revealing how well the brain and body coordinate under real-world conditions. Each test mode includes: ✅ Clear, step-by-step instructions before the test begins ✅ Real-time voice feedback and audio cues throughout the assessment ✅ Environment-aware analysis based on surrounding conditions ✅ Key point detection tailored to each specific mode 📊 Clinician-Led Monitoring Upright Science is built around the clinician-patient relationship. Your assigned clinician receives your balance and gait assessment results, activity data and vitals — giving them everything they need to build a personalized exercise and wellness plan tailored to your condition and goals. If any reading or pattern raises concern, your clinician can respond and adjust your plan in real time — before a fall happens. 📲 Health Connect Integration Upright Science integrates with Android Health Connect to give your clinician a complete picture of your health between assessments.
