Method Therapeutic Solutions is a Utah-based therapeutic device company focused on creating innovative products to revolutionize post-surgery knee rehabilitation. “Our goal is to make the rehabilitation period for knee surgery patients as quick and painless as possible. We are striving to make this vision a reality by providing cutting-edge knee therapy devices that place the control of the therapy in the patients’ hands. Our hope is that the Method Therapeutic Solutions devices will enable to patients to take command of their own therapy experience to get back on their feet with full range of motion as quickly as possible.”

“We pride ourselves on designing and manufacturing therapy devices that do not require any setup. Our devices passively adjust to different size patients, thereby eliminating the need to spend time setting up the device for each different patient that uses it. Additionally, both of Method Therapeutic Solutions’ current devices come equipped with an innovative tablet controller. Our goal is to revolutionize the knee therapy industry by introducing beneficial features such as patient progress reports and built-in rental agreement forms. The tablet provides a much better interface not only for patients, but also for therapists and rental technicians as well.”

Creative Insights

Creative Insights is creating a new class of products called Computer Toys that not only teach and but are fun.

A Computer Toy is a creative, compelling piece of hardware aimed at a specific purpose; that is brought to life with equally compelling software aimed at the same purpose. The experience of using Creative Insights’ Computer Toys is equally driven by the hardware and the software. The hardware augments or replaces the traditional QWERTY keyboard and leverages the innate sound and video capability of today’s multimedia computers. It plugs permanently or temporarily into a standard multimedia personal computer. Eventually, Creative Insights products will become portable and wireless, providing the child with an increasingly mobile, learning environment. The software works like any other software, but leverages the special computer toy hardware and the multimedia computer.

The key requirements defining a good computer toy are: 1) Leveraging fully the power of the multimedia computer to teach or have fun, for relatively low price points (in the range of $30 to $200), to deliver enormous levels of fun, learning or both; 2) Specialized hardware that brings something central and important to the user, making the experience of the product something unrealizable without the hardware and 3) Software that is leading edge, and together with the specialized hardware, gives video (animation and graphics) and sound experiences better than any contemporary stand-alone entertainment or educational software package.

The hardware component of our toys clearly separates our company from entertainment and educational software companies. This is obviously critical to our marketing success. Our unique insight was that in this coming “digital convergence”, convergence will extend to music, toys and education, not just to Consumer Electronics, Consumer Communication and Consumer Entertainment. Our 1995 line of Computer Toys have literally no direct competition. They are unique, and represent to the channel a completely new and totally incremental source of revenue. This uniqueness is critical to our marketing success.

The company’s products will be sold wherever home computer products, either hardware or software, are sold.
