Tenzr Health

Turning Physical Therapy Into a Game You Can Play at Home

Tenzr Health is reinventing physical rehabilitation by turning the recovery journey into a game that patients can complete in the comfort of their own homes.

Think “Duolingo for Physical Rehab”.

Using intelligent wearable sensors, motion-tracking technology, and interactive games, Tenzr makes physical therapy more engaging for patients while allowing clinicians to monitor recovery remotely.

In reported clinical deployments, 75% of patients completed their full course of treatment — more than DOUBLE the industry average.

The Problem

The $270B Physical Rehabilitation Industry Has a Patient Engagement Problem.

Muscular and joint-related pain is something nearly everyone can relate to.

Patients wait weeks for appointments. Physical therapy can be slow, uncomfortable, and expensive. And the hardest part of recovery often happens outside the clinic, when patients are expected to perform repetitive exercises on their own.

Unsurprisingly, more than 65% of patients fail to complete their rehabilitation.

For therapists, the problem is equally frustrating. They have limited visibility into what patients do between appointments, making it difficult to track progress and intervene when treatment falls behind.

The result is a massive healthcare industry where patients drop out, therapists are overburdened, and recovery takes longer than it should.

The Solution

Tenzr Turns Rehab Into a Habit-Forming, Gamified Experience.

Much like Duolingo uses games and progression to motivate people to learn new languages, Tenzr uses interactive exercises to make physical therapy something patients actually want to complete.

Patients wear lightweight, Bluetooth-enabled motion sensors on their hands or wrists and follow personalized exercises through an app.

Instead of simply repeating uncomfortable movements, patients can play games like Pong, using their own movements to control the action while completing prescribed rehabilitation exercises.

Tenzr's sensors track patient movement across more than 25 therapeutic exercises, providing real-time guidance and measuring recovery progress.

The platform combines sensor-enabled hardware, personalized exercise plans, and AI-driven coaching to help patients stay on track.

Meanwhile, clinicians can remotely monitor their patients' progress, review movement data, and adjust treatment when needed.

Unlike platforms that require clinics to overhaul their existing processes, Tenzr was designed to fit directly into a therapist's workflow.

Clinicians maintain control over treatment while gaining greater visibility into how patients are recovering at home.

Why Invest

Tenzr Is Showing That Patients Will Actually Complete Their Rehab.

In reported clinical deployments, 75% of Tenzr patients completed their full course of treatment, compared with an industry average of approximately 35%.

Across multiple hospital pilots and live deployments, the company also reported:

95% patient adherence
80% faster return to function compared with traditional therapy
3X more patient data captured for healthcare providers

These results address one of the biggest problems in physical rehabilitation: getting patients to consistently follow their treatment plans.

‍

A Recurring Revenue Model Built Around Clinicians and Patients

Tenzr generates revenue from both clinician access to its software and ongoing patient use.

Clinics receive tools to manage treatment and monitor recovery, while patients use the platform throughout their prescribed rehabilitation.

This creates recurring revenue tied to the number of clinicians using Tenzr and the number of patients receiving treatment.

As clinics bring more patients onto the platform, Tenzr can grow without requiring a proportional increase in clinical staff.

‍

The Opportunity Extends Far Beyond Hand and Wrist Rehabilitation.

Tenzr's initial focus is upper-extremity rehabilitation, including wrist, hand, and shoulder injuries.

But these represent only a fraction of the broader musculoskeletal market.

More than 90 million musculoskeletal injuries occur annually in the United States, while the global physical medicine and rehabilitation industry represents an estimated $270B market, according to the company's investment materials.

Tenzr's underlying technology — motion tracking, personalized exercises, remote monitoring, and gamified rehabilitation — has potential applications across a much wider range of injuries and recovery programs.

As the company expands beyond its initial clinical focus, the same platform could serve additional rehabilitation categories without having to build an entirely new product for each one.

The Team

Lukas-Karim Merhi

CO-FOUNDER / CEO

At 23, Lukas suffered a serious lower back injury that left him with two herniated discs and nearly four years of pain. Despite receiving excellent physical therapy, he often felt uncertain about his recovery at home, without clear guidance on his progress, what to do next, or whether he would fully recover.

That experience, combined with his background in biomedical engineering and human-centered technology, inspired him to explore how patients could receive more consistent support throughout recovery.

Before founding Tenzr, Lukas led Canada’s only team to the world’s first Cybathlon, using advanced sensing technology to improve prosthetic limb control. He also co-founded Practical Hospital Solutions, developing human-centered devices for critical care.

Gautam Sadarangani

CO-FOUNDER / PRESIDENT

For Gautam, the importance of ongoing support became personal through his own health journey. After years of unsuccessful attempts to lose weight, he eventually lost more than 150 pounds. What made the difference was having clear goals, accountability, and encouragement to keep going.

Through his mother, an occupational therapist and multi-site clinical administrator, he also saw how limited time and fragmented tools made it difficult for clinicians to provide consistent patient support.

With a background in medical technology development, including leading systems engineering and R&D at Lungpacer Medical, Gautam brought experience turning promising healthcare technologies into practical solutions.

Together with Lukas, he co-founded Tenzr to help care teams provide patients with the guidance and support they need, while making that care easier to deliver in practice.
