Zibrio
Katey Forth, CEO and Co-Founder of Zibrio
Nominated for NASA invention of the year
“ZIBRIO had its genesis in the US Space Program and uses machine learning to establish patterns of stability and instability via a one-minute standing test with eyes open. It is simple enough to be self-administered by the user, and streamlined to also fit into a doctor’s checkup visit. The scale also measures weight. The balance score is a number between 1-10. 1-3 indicate an increased risk of falling. 7 or above means good balance.”
