Clinical Assessment & Rehabilitation
Powered by objective movement data. Personalised movement assessment for concussion management, Parkinson's detection, return-to-work evaluation, and neurological rehabilitation with objective biomechanical data.
Personalised baselines
Establishes individual baselines from first use, eliminating population-based norms.
1-100% force spectrum
Captures complete range of human movement and force application.
Objective metrics
Eliminates subjective assessments with precise biomechanical data.
Real-time analysis
Instant deviation detection and performance assessment.
AI-powered motion tracking for clinical rehabilitation
The COMBAT MIRROR™ App uses advanced computer vision to track 33+ body landmarks in real-time, providing objective clinical data for rehabilitation progress, neurological assessment, and return-to-work evaluation.
Body landmarks
Full skeletal tracking for precise rehabilitation assessment.
Real-time
Continuous movement monitoring during therapy sessions.
Clinical outcomes
Objective data for evidence-based treatment decisions.
Clinical research & validation
Evidence-based clinical applications
Our 2025/26 Scientific Research Program, led by Adj. Prof. Alan Pearce PhD, investigates the COMBAT MIRROR™ system's effectiveness in clinical settings including concussion assessment, CTE research, Parkinson's detection, and neurological rehabilitation.
Concussion & CTE research
Establishes personalised movement baselines that enable objective assessment of post-concussion changes, eliminating reliance on population norms. Pre-injury baseline not required; objective biomechanical deviation detection.
Parkinson's & neurological detection
Captures subtle motor control changes during the prodromal phase (5-20 years before clinical symptoms), enabling earlier intervention. Longitudinal monitoring capability.
Rehabilitation & recovery
Real-time coaching feedback with progressive intensity training for neurological and neurodegenerative disease treatment. Designed to support motor control improvement, with objective progress tracking.
Studies are in submission and have not yet completed peer review. Clinical applications described here are research directions, not established clinical outcomes.
Market opportunity
$90B+ combined clinical market opportunity
Objective biomechanical assessment for concussion management, workers' compensation, Parkinson's detection, and rehabilitation across four major clinical protocols.

Rehabilitation market
Clinical protocols
Four clinical protocols
Concussion assessment & management
Current limitations: requires pre-injury baseline (often unavailable); population norms don't account for individual variability; 72-hour window constraint for comprehensive assessment.
COMBAT MIRROR™ approach: establishes personalised baselines from first use, provides objective individualised assessment metrics, captures 1-100% force spectrum data, and detects deviation from baseline in real time.
Target sectors: sports medicine, athletic training, emergency departments.
Return-to-work assessment & workers' compensation
Current limitations: Functional Capacity Evaluation fraud estimated at $35-44B annually; 95% of claims not analysed; malingering detection is subjective and prone to gaming; no objective force spectrum data.
COMBAT MIRROR™ approach: captures the 1-100% force spectrum, collects objective biomechanical data, and compares against a personalised baseline in real time.
Target sectors: workers' compensation insurers, occupational medicine, rehabilitation centres.
Parkinson's disease: early detection
Current limitations: the prodromal detection window runs 5-20 years before motor symptoms; current diagnostic delay is around a year from symptom onset; 50-80% neuronal loss has already occurred at diagnosis.
COMBAT MIRROR™ approach: personalised baselines may enable detection during the prodromal phase by capturing subtle biomechanical changes before clinical symptoms, with continuous monitoring capability.
Target sectors: neurology, geriatric medicine, primary care, diagnostic imaging.
Exercise rehabilitation
Current limitations: lack of objective progress metrics; subjective pain and function reporting; difficulty tracking recovery progression.
COMBAT MIRROR™ approach: real-time audio and visual coaching feedback, progressive intensity training from 10% to 100%, objective performance metrics with gamification, and personalised baseline tracking.
Target conditions: Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, brain injury rehabilitation, stroke recovery, neurological rehabilitation.
Market figures are third-party estimates. Clinical applications are research directions under investigation and have not completed peer review.
COMBAT MIRROR™ clinical & rehabilitation system
A portable clinical assessment tool, designed for integration into rehabilitation centres, sports medicine clinics and healthcare facilities.
Clinical research validation. Lead researcher: Adj. Prof. Alan Pearce PhD, Swinburne University. Duration: 9-month validation program (2025-2026). Focus: concussion assessment, rehabilitation and neurological applications.
Advanced technical capabilities
How the assessment works
Biomechanical data capture
33+ body landmarks captured at up to 60fps across the 1-100% force spectrum of human capability, with 120Hz high-speed processing and AI-powered computer vision for real-time analysis.
Baseline & deviation detection
Personalised baselines from first use, real-time deviation tracking that accounts for individual variability, and longitudinal monitoring over time.

The research behind the clinical protocols
Study 1: Applied exercise science
Physical responses to the COMBAT MIRROR™ training system compared to bag-based boxing training. Measurements include glove speed, punch output and frequency, fatigue rate, perceived exertion efficiency, and biomechanical analysis.
Study 2: Coaching science
Skill acquisition learning using action observation via the COMBAT MIRROR™ device compared to the traditional punch bag method with coaching feedback.
Study 3: Neuromuscular physiology
Comparative analysis of kinematic and neuromuscular differences using motion capture and wireless surface electromyography.
Study 4: Exercise rehabilitation
Evaluation of efficiency to improve physical capacities, motor control and activities of daily living in those with neurological or neurodegenerative diseases.
Studies are in submission and have not yet completed peer review.
