ITWhy “Human Motor Patterns”?
Human Motor Patterns was born from the desire to place the human brain at the center of motor control, focusing on the key role of the central nervous system in the genesis of dysfunctional postures and movements.
Our startup is entirely dedicated to the study of pathological motor patterns through cutting-edge technologies. We don't just treat symptoms: we aim to intervene on the true causes of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).
Our History
Human Motor Patterns was founded in 2022 by Giovanni Maresca, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrist), and Francesca Romana Latini, a physiotherapist.
The idea stems from years of clinical experience, scientific research, and technological innovation, with the goal of creating a concrete, effective, and scientifically validated tool to help professionals and patients manage MSDs.
Today, HMP is a technology transfer project: the result of merging clinical, engineering, and IT know-how into a medical device equipped with AI that brings complex specialized skills directly into the hands of healthcare providers.
The Problem
Human Motor Patterns is not just an idea: it is a real project with solid foundations and enormous potential.
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the leading cause of disability worldwide. They encompass over 150 clinical conditions—including lower back pain, scoliosis, osteoarthritis, and postural imbalances—that affect muscles, bones, and joints.
A Few Statistics
1 Billion+
people affected worldwide according to the WHO.
250 Million
patients require rehabilitation treatments in Europe.
240,000+
annual surgical procedures in Italy related to postural problems.
These numbers highlight an alarming reality: many of these interventions could be avoided if action were taken sooner and more effectively regarding motor control and prevention.
The Solution: BMPOD
A validated and patented medical device born from multidisciplinary technology transfer that combines medicine, engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and design to serve a new, more precise, effective, and sustainable postural medicine.
Our device, BMPOD (Brain Motor Patterns Optimizer Device), represents a radical breakthrough in the approach to MSDs.
Unlike traditional methods that focus only on joint imbalance, BMPOD is designed to analyze and correct the pathological motor pattern—the incorrect movement pattern at the root of many dysfunctions.
Advanced Hardware
Practical, high-precision wearable sensors.
Artificial Intelligence
Proprietary machine learning algorithms.
Real-time Processing
Measurement, analysis, and correction of movements.
The device collects biomechanical and neuromotor data, analyzes it through a machine learning algorithm, and provides personalized corrective strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.
An Innovative Approach
HMP proposes a paradigm shift in MSD management:
From Cure to Cause
Moving from symptomatic medicine to causal and preventive medicine.
From Subjectivity to Objectivity
Moving from the subjectivity of healthcare operators to objective measurement.
From Empiricism to Data
Moving from empirical therapy to an intelligent system based on reliable data.
Our Goals
- Prevent postural disorders before they cause serious pathologies.
- Reduce the risk of injury and improve sports performance.
- Ensure diagnostic and therapeutic appropriateness for MSDs caused by postural dysfunction.
- Validate the effectiveness of orthotics and aids.
- Validate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions.
- Support healthcare operators and validate their interventions.
How BMPOD Works
The device detects pathological motor patterns, supporting healthcare operators in correcting the joint imbalances that lead to poor posture, the cause of Musculoskeletal Disorders.
BEFORE
Articular Imbalance
The body assumes incorrect postures that generate continuous muscle tension.
Pathological Pattern
Incorrect and compensatory movements become deep-seated neuromotor habits.
Symptomatology
Appearance of chronic pain, stiffness, and a significant reduction in quality of life.
The infographic illustrates the need for a shift in approach to the unresolved problem of MSDs:
BMPOD compares the quality of interventions carried out through a cybernetic cycle, before and after the corrections suggested by the AI algorithm.
AFTER
Correct Posture
The system optimizes joint balance, releasing accumulated tension.
Normalized Pattern
The brain restores fluid, correct, functional, and efficient movements.
Tangible Benefits
Drastic reduction in pain, recovery of mobility, and active prevention.
Where We Are Going
- Functional and validated prototype.
- Patent extension in Europe and non-EU countries.
- Partnerships with universities, orthopedics, law firms, and design centers.
- Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4.
- Clinical collaborations for testing and clinical trials.
- European Patent Granted (August 13, 2025)
In Summary
Human Motor Patterns is not just an idea: it is a real project with solid foundations and enormous potential.
A validated and patented medical device born from multidisciplinary technology transfer that combines medicine, engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and design to serve a new, more precise, effective, and sustainable postural medicine.
BMPOD will contribute to improving the quality of interventions in the Musculoskeletal Disorders sector and reduce the need for surgery—with its associated costs and risks—thanks to the possibilities of treatment and prevention through a non-invasive, predictive, and data-driven approach.
