Axle
An AI-powered physical therapy app for hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills recovery. Using your phone's camera, the AI tracks your movements as you perform 'juggling' exercises that start with large, slow motions (like catching a football) and progressively refine to delicate, precise movements (like arranging flowers). Your progress is visualized as a growing digital garden - exercises that improve bring flowers to life, while setbacks require nurturing, creating an engaging recovery journey.
The Wow Moment
You're 3 weeks into recovering from a stroke, struggling to pick up a pen. You open Axle for your daily exercise - today it's a 'scorpion strike' game where you quickly tap appearing targets. Suddenly, you notice your reflexes feel sharp. You switch to the real world and smoothly grasp that pen for the first time. In the app, your withered rose blooms instantly, petals unfolding in a satisfying animation that marks your milestone.

A trampoline-textured cat bed made from bear-grade industrial polyester that provides therapeutic low-impact movement for arthritic and obese cats who can't jump normally.

The emotional moment is watching a cat you thought was 'done' rediscover joy.
