Understanding ROMTech
ROMTech combines groundbreaking technology with convenience to revolutionize home-based rehabilitation. The core of the ROMTech system is the PortableConnect, a user-friendly device that brings professional-grade physical therapy into the comfort of your home. The compact device resembles a small exercise bike with an attached screen.
Through the PortableConnect, you can follow a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, with therapy modes tailored to every recovery phase.
The device has a real-time range of motion tracking and automatically gauges speed, power, and other metrics during your sessions. The device screen also allows for live telemedicine appointments with Dr. Bedikian.
Benefits of ROMTech's Technology

- Feedback: You receive both real-time feedback and progress reports.

The PortableConnect adapts to each phase of recovery through four therapy modes:
- Passive Mode: The system gently moves your joint for you.
