(Huntsville, Ala. | July 9, 2021) – Nationally ranked startup accelerator gener8tor has announced that CFD Research’s spin-out company, Theraplay Analytics, has been selected as one of five companies to participate in the inaugural gBETA Huntsville Summer 2021 accelerator. There were over 44 applicants throughout Alabama who vied for the spots. From a very competitive applicant pool and interview process, Theraplay Analytics stood out as one of the best and brightest in Alabama. gBETA Huntsville’s Summer 2021 cohort kicked off on June 2 and Theraplay Analytics will work with the gener8tor team over the course of seven weeks to meet mentors, gain customer traction and pitch to investors.
TheraPlay Analytics improves patient engagement with at-home physical therapy by turning exercises into fun games. “One of the biggest challenges in physical therapy is that many patients don’t do their prescribed at-home exercises, which are a big part of the rehabilitation process,” Dr. Paulien Roos, Theraplay Analytics CEO said. “With TheraPlay Analytics’ app, physical therapists can remotely monitor patient progress to make sure they are doing their exercises regularly and seeing the expected improvements.”
gBETA Huntsville is a free, seven-week accelerator that works with startups for no fees and no equity. Each gBETA program is capped at five companies to ensure meaningful engagement with sponsors and other resources. Participants receive intensive, individualized coaching and access to gener8tor’s national network of mentors, customers, corporate partners and investors. The accelerator is designed to help startups access the networks and resources needed to build venture-backable and economically impactful companies.
“I love working with incredible founders who are solving some of humanity’s greatest challenges,” Hua Wang, gBETA Huntsville Director said. “I believe fervently in Huntsville as a vibrant, beautiful, rapidly changing community rich with incredible talent and investment opportunities.”
