With stapp one at the Annual Congress of the German Knee Society
As an innovative game changer, stapp one was part of the 10th Annual Congress of the German Knee Society in Leipzig and stood out from the big players in the MedTech sector. stapp one’s recipe for success: disruption and digitalization! In an interview, stapp one founder & CEO Peter Krimmer and Business Development Manager Dinah Krimmer talk about their positive experiences at the congress.
In 2021 stapp one participated in the 10th Annual Congress of the German Knee Society for the first, but certainly not for the last time. The stapp one team especially enjoyed the nice atmosphere as well as the exchange between attendees and other exhibitors. “One of the highlights was definitely the very positive feedback.” Dinah Krimmer says, “Doctors and especially physiotherapists were extremely interested in our stapp one sensor sole.“
The future is digital
The intelligent stapp one sensor sole is simply inserted into a comfortable shoe and measures the patient’s foot pressure load. The corresponding MedicalSolution provides visual Live-Biofeedback in real time to check and correct exercises. In addition, many other assessments, such as gait analysis, can be performed easily and accurately. During the assessments stapp one provides objective data. With this data the progress of a physiotherapeutic training becomes visible and traceable and gives valuable insights for physicians, therapists and patients.
Benefits for everyone involved
At the 10th Annual Congress of the German Knee Society, physicians and physiotherapists showed great interest in stappone. For Peter Krimmer the key to success is the special benefit that comes with his medically certified MedTech-Solution: “All three parties benefit from stapp one. In the area of partial weight-bearing, for example, the doctor has a better feeling when he prescribes it, because with stapp one he can be sure that his patient is performing the exercises correctly. Let’s say a partial weight-bearing of 15 kg is prescribed. By measuring the foot pressure load and providing Live-Biofeedback, stapp one works as a frame of reference for the patient. This provides the patient with confidence and the motivation to exercise.”
With stappone patients benefit from a faster and more effective healing process that comes with correct training. At the same time, the patient’s motivation is increased too. “After three therapy sessions, the patient in most cases doesn’t detect a noticeable difference and may wonder if the physiotherapy is helping at all. But with stapp one, the smallest improvements and successes become visible, which in turn helps to motivate patients,” Dinah Krimmer explains.
“Physiotherapists benefit from happier and more satisfied patients, and a resulting gain in their professional reputation,” Peter Krimmer adds.
Digital pioneer
With its innovative MedTech solution, stappone applies digitalization to the field of physiotherapy. According to Dinah Krimmer, this shift was clearly evident at the trade show and stapp one is leading this innovative transformation.“The special thing about our MedTech product is its versatility. Apart from enhancing physiotherapeutic training, it is also a tool to validate novel or digitalized surgical procedures and robotics using mobile gait analysis.“
Another goal of stapp one is to use digitalization to provide patients with preventive healthcare. “Preventive healthcare is the future,” says Dinah Krimmer.
All in all, the stapp one premiere at the 10th Annual Congress of the German Knee Society was a complete success. But that was just the beginning. Our journey continues in 2022 at the GOTS: https://gots-kongress.org
