stAPPtronics GmbH

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vorarlberg, Austria, stAPPtronics GmbH has developed solutions for medical gait analysis and therapy based on a globally unique sensor technology. Its products support clinics, rehabilitation and research facilities in the diagnosis and treatment of their patients.

The PC application used for this purpose is largely developed by BLUE-ZONE GmbH. It can be used to create and manage patient data and start recording gait patterns with the intelligent stapp one sensor soles. Electronic insoles are used for gait analysis, which are simply inserted into the patient's shoes. These record movement and pressure data and transmit it wirelessly and in real time via Bluetooth LE to the software and thus directly to the screen. Behind this is a logic also developed by BLUE-ZONE GmbH for controlling the soles, including error handling, e.g. in the event of disconnections. At the same time, the patient can be filmed by the PC software in order to objectify malpositions or gait disturbances with millimeter precision in slow motion. The results of this analysis allow the doctor or therapist treating the patient to select the optimum therapy. Furthermore, a live view of the pressure distribution enables exercises to be performed and trained more efficiently and effectively.

A licensing function has also been developed for the software. Depending on the license, different versions and features of the PC application can be activated for the user.
