About
Lindera is an AI-powered digital health platform that revolutionizes fall prevention and gait analysis for healthcare providers. Using advanced computer vision and 21-point 3D skeletal tracking, it transforms any smartphone camera into a clinical-grade motion capture device — validated to match the GAITRite gold standard with an ICC of 0.982 (Nature Scientific Reports, 2021). The platform offers four core products: L.Care for physical therapy workflows, L.Home for remote fall risk assessment, L.Gait for smartphone-based gait analysis, and L.MotionLab for orthopedic practices. Healthcare providers can complete CDC-recommended STEADI fall risk assessments in just 2-3 minutes — compared to the traditional 20-45 minutes — reducing assessment time by 90% and per-assessment costs by 75%. Lindera is fully reimbursable through Medicare CPT codes (97750 for physical performance assessment and 98975-98981 for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring), generating $60-75 per assessment plus $150-200/month per RTM patient. The platform integrates with major EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, and Allscripts, and includes auto-generated documentation for billing compliance. Ideal for primary care providers, physical therapists, skilled nursing facilities, and ambulatory clinics, Lindera delivers population health dashboards, MIPS/quality measure compliance automation, and evidence-based intervention recommendations. Facilities report an average savings of $313,000 and a clinically proven 27% reduction in senior falls.

- Medicare & RTM Billing Integration: Auto-generates billing documentation for CPT codes 97750 and 98975-98981, enabling $60-75 per assessment and $150-200/month per Remote Therapeutic Monitoring patient.
- EHR Integration & Auto-Documentation: Seamlessly integrates with Epic, Cerner, and Allscripts, with automatically generated clinical notes for billing compliance and Annual Wellness Visit requirements.
- Population Health Dashboard: Risk-stratifies patients across care settings, tracks longitudinal outcomes, and automates MIPS/quality measure compliance reporting for value-based care programs.
Use Cases
- Physical therapy practices completing fall risk assessments for Medicare patients using CPT 97750, generating up to 10x more billable sessions per day.
- Primary care providers integrating AI gait screening into 15-20 minute Annual Wellness Visits to satisfy Medicare fall prevention requirements without disrupting clinic flow.
- Skilled nursing facilities standardizing evidence-based fall prevention protocols across their entire patient population with consistent, objective, longitudinal tracking.
- Orthopedic and prosthetics/orthotics clinics using objective gait data to guide device fitting and measure functional improvement over time.
- Healthcare systems building Remote Therapeutic Monitoring programs that generate recurring monthly revenue while keeping high-risk seniors safer between in-person visits.
Pros
- Clinically Validated Accuracy: ICC of 0.982 against GAITRite, published in Nature Scientific Reports (2021), provides confidence in clinical-grade results without expensive lab equipment.
- Immediate Revenue Generation: Fully reimbursable through Medicare CPT codes with built-in billing automation, enabling up to 10x more billable assessments per day and new RTM recurring revenue.
- Dramatic Workflow Efficiency: 90% reduction in assessment time and 75% cost savings allow any trained staff member to perform assessments, removing the bottleneck from specialist-only workflows.
- Proven Patient Outcomes: Clinically proven 27% reduction in senior falls translates directly into better quality measures, lower liability, and improved value-based care performance.
Cons
- Highly Specialized Use Case: Designed exclusively for healthcare fall prevention; not applicable to general wellness, fitness, or non-clinical gait use cases.
- Enterprise Pricing Model: Pricing requires a demo/consultation and is not publicly listed, making it difficult for smaller practices to evaluate cost before engaging with sales.
- Staff Training Required: While faster than traditional methods, staff must be trained on the app workflow and Medicare billing codes to fully realize the platform's revenue potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is Lindera's AI gait analysis compared to traditional lab equipment?
Lindera's smartphone-based gait analysis has been validated at ICC 0.982 against the GAITRite — the gold standard in clinical gait assessment — as published in Nature Scientific Reports (2021). This means it delivers millimeter-accurate 3D skeletal tracking without requiring a dedicated gait lab.
Is Lindera reimbursable through Medicare?
Yes. Lindera supports billing through multiple Medicare CPT codes: CPT 97750 for physical performance assessment ($60-75 per session), and CPT codes 98975-98981 for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, generating $150-200/month per enrolled patient.
