Dr. Kenneth D.Kemp: Pioneering Sports Medicine in The Bahamas with stappone Technology
In the heart of the Caribbean, Dr. Kenneth D. Kemp is redefining sports medicine. Based in The Bahamas, Dr. Kemp has become a key figure in athletic healthcare across the region, known not only for his impressive clinical background but also for his commitment to innovation—most notably through the use of stappone sensor insoles in his practice.
With extensive medical training from prestigious institutions in Canada and the United States, Dr. Kemp brings international expertise to a local context. He is the founder of Bahamas Foot & Ankle and the co-founder of Vasyli, Kemp & Co., a clinic known for its advanced and integrative care. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Kemp also served as Deputy Chairman of the Health Professions Council in The Bahamas, before becoming vice chairman fort he Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation where he has been active fort he past decade.
Dr. Kemp treats a wide range of patients—from professional athletes and weekend warriors to international celebrities—and he has become known for tackling complex cases where others have fallen short. Many of his patients have previously sought help elsewhere, only to receive short-term solutions or no improvement at all. “When they come to me, the stappone sensor insoles help identify the root cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms,” the expert explains.
Addressing the Growing Need for Preventive Care
Foot and lower limb injuries are among the most common issues in sports, affecting people across all age groups and activity levels. In the United States alone, about 43.1 million individuals suffer from foot-related problems annually. Of these, 36% consider their condition serious enough to seek medical attention. The range of injuries is wide—from blisters and sprained ankles to more serious concerns like ligament tears and chronic joint pain.
The economic impact is also significant. Foot surgeries in the U.S. alone account for $2 billion in healthcare costs each year, rising to $3.5 billion when factoring in lost productivity due to recovery. For Dr. Kemp, these statistics underscore the importance of not just treating injuries but preventing them in the first place.

How stappone Technology Enhances Patient Care
To tackle this challenge, Dr. Kemp integrates stappone sensor insoles into his diagnostic and treatment process. These state-of-the-art insoles provide real-time data on pressure distribution, gait patterns, and weight-bearing behavior. This allows Dr. Kemp to pinpoint functional issues that may be contributing to a patient’s pain or injury.
“The visualization enhances awareness,” he elaborates. “Not only do the patients benefit from this technology, but I do as well, as the insoles provide immediate, fact-based feedback. It’s just fantastic and saves a lot of time during treatment.”
The stappone system uses intelligent sensor technology embedded in ultra-thin insoles. These insoles wirelessly transmit motion and load data to a connected platform, allowing practitioners like Dr. Kemp to analyze dynamic movements in real time. Unlike static assessments or subjective pain reports, this method offers objective insights that lead to more targeted interventions and better long-term outcomes.
A Model for the Caribbean – and Beyond
By embracing stappone’s advanced biomechanics technology, Dr. Kemp is setting a new benchmark for sports medicine—not just in The Bahamas, but across the Caribbean. His holistic approach combines world-class training, local understanding and forward-thinking tools to provide care that is both innovative and deeply effective.
As more healthcare providers explore ways to integrate digital tools into clinical practice, Dr. Kemp stands out as a pioneer who is already using the stappone technology to improve lives – one step at a time.
