Patient-Facing Home Exercise Program Tracker That Bridges the Therapist-Home Gap
65% of physical/occupational/speech therapy patients abandon home exercise programs within the first month, yet compliance is critical for outcomes. New 2026 RTM (Remote Therapeutic Monitoring) billing codes create a reimbursement pathway for digital home exercise monitoring. Current HEP tools are built for therapists, not patients. Parents doing prescribed exercises with children in speech/OT have it worst, juggling multiple therapy programs with no unified tracker.
The 2026 RTM codes are the business model unlock. Therapists can now bill for remote monitoring, which means they'd PAY for a tool that demonstrates patient compliance. Build the patient app first, then sell the therapist dashboard as the monetization layer.
