Rohan Builds an AI-Enabled Wearable for More Measurable Back-Pain Care

Rohan, who experienced back pain from age 13 for roughly a decade, built a wearable system intended to collect body data and provide more measurable physical-therapy feedback. He criticized care that lacks a clear “measure, care, measure again” process.

After moving to his childhood bedroom, Rohan built an MVP, found an early investor through outreach prompted by a Twitter post about hardware angel checks, and manufactured the product in Shenzhen. He shared the MVP on Reddit, where he received strong interest and met an early customer.

Rohan said he largely built the hardware and code himself. People with back pain and other conditions have asked how the system could be adapted for them, but its broader usefulness remains to be established.
