The Axis Patch is currently intended for research use only.

How It Works

Grasshopper Axis Patch™ Application on Lower Back
Step 1
Apply the patch

Place the lightweight Axis Patch on the patient’s lower back, where it naturally captures real-world movement from the body’s center of mass.

Grasshopper Health Mobile App
Step 2
Sync with the mobile app

The patch connects to the patient’s smartphone, securely streaming continuous gait data through the Grasshopper mobile app and applying advanced machine learning models to thousands of steps per day without clinic visits.

Female Walking and Split Screen EMR Monitor
Step 3
Monitor data via AI-platform

Clinicians access clear mobility insights through Grasshopper’s AI-enabled Motus™ Platform to support remote patient monitoring and assist with surfacing early signs of disease and regression long before symptoms appear.

The Hallmark of Gait Analysis

At Grasshopper Health, we believe in a future where gait is recognized, measured and acted upon as a standard vital sign. 

In our video, hear from the developers at Grasshopper, as well as from our team of advisors, about our vision to enable earlier and more precise disease monitoring and longer, healthier independence.

Detecting Disease Footprints

With real-world gait data, Grasshopper Health helps capture early signs of disease progression and can help initiate treatment response, particularly for:

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Icon

Peripheral Artery Disease

PAD’s early gait changes of slower, shorter and asymmetric steps often appear before pain.

Parkinson's Disease Icon

Parkinson’s
Disease

Gait changes with reduced arm swinging, shuffling and turning difficulty can precede Parkinson’s.

 Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) Icon

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

NPH’s magnetic gait and difficulty initiating movement are frequently overlooked.

Alzheimer's Disease Icon

Alzheimer’s Disease

A slow, shuffling gait and balance challenges are often a precursor to Alzheimer’s.
