DARI

What DARI does

DARI Motion, Inc. (DARI), founded in 2013 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, builds a markerless motion capture and analytics platform for human movement assessment. The system uses multiple video cameras and computer vision to reconstruct 3D kinematics without placing markers or sensors on the subject, and applies forward-simulation modeling to derive ground reaction force (kinetics) without physical force plates. DARI holds four patents covering the kinematic and kinetic methodology, the AI joint model, and the data model, and has FDA 510(k) clearance as a medical device — a regulatory position claimed as unique among markerless solutions. The product portfolio is organized around a core platform (DARI Motion Experience) with sub-products including DARI Connect (intake), DARI Capture (markerless recording), the DARI Insight Engine (cloud processing), DARI Dashboard (clinical review), and clinical documentation tooling (SAGE, BACS). It is offered in three vertical packages — Healthcare (orthopedic and neuro clinical use, with reimbursable billing codes), Performance (athletic readiness, athleticism, fatigue testing), and Wellness (population MSK health, workers' compensation). Supporting data models include Clinician, Joint Review, Motion Age, Readiness, and Athleticism modules, backed by a database of 48 billion data points and 2 million movement files referenced as the world's largest 3D human movement database.

DARI monetizes through a hybrid of hardware sales, recurring cloud processing/analytics subscriptions, and clinical reimbursement tied to billing codes. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with a demo-led motion, supplemented by integration partners (Oracle Cerner for EHR, The Captury for motion-capture software which was acquired in 2022, Exos, Lifetime Fitness, Bardavon for workers' comp distribution), and co-development partners (ASMI for baseball biomechanics, Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance via University of Kansas). The customer base spans hospital orthopedic clinics (Hospital for Special Surgery with 8 installed systems, Sano, Steadman, Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics, among others), professional and collegiate sports (Los Angeles Angels, 15+ universities, multiple baseball performance labs), and corporate/tactical wellness buyers. International footprint includes engineering offices in Prague, Czech Republic, and Saarbrücken, Germany. DARI is privately held, with leadership comprising Founder/CEO Patrick Moodie, CTOs Nils Hasler (Europe) and Derek Wassom (North America), CSO Greg Giefer, Chairman Pat Eilers (Founder, Transition Equity Partners), and a board that includes the CEO of South Bend Orthopaedics and the Past President of AAOS, giving it visible orthopedic-credibility governance.

Core offering

DARI Motion provides a markerless motion capture and analytics platform that assesses full-body human movement in approximately five minutes and delivers validated kinematic and kinetic insights via cloud processing in under 20 seconds. The FDA-cleared system combines video-based capture hardware with proprietary AI and cloud analytics to produce motion health, performance, mobility, alignment, sway, and force reports for healthcare, sports performance, and corporate wellness customers. It includes multiple vertical solutions, data models (Clinician, Joint Review, Motion Age, Readiness, Athleticism), and clinical reporting tools.

Product overview

DARI Motion offers a unified markerless motion capture and analytics platform — the DARI Motion Experience — built on Captury's motion capture technology. The core platform delivers full-body human movement analysis in approximately 5 minutes with cloud-processed results in under 20 seconds. It is offered across three vertical market solutions: Healthcare (FDA-cleared, reimbursable, for orthopedic and neurological clinical applications), Performance (for athletic readiness, athleticism, and fatigue testing), and Wellness (for population MSK health and workers' compensation). The DARI Motion Experience integrates several sub-components: DARI Connect (patient management/intake), DARI Capture (markerless motion recording), the DARI Insight Engine (cloud processing), and DARI Dashboard (clinical analytics review). Specialized software modules include SAGE (Synchronized Annotation GEnerator) for synchronized video-data documentation and BACS for clinical reporting. Five distinct data models serve different use cases: Clinician Model, Joint Review Model, Motion Age Model, Readiness Model, and Athleticism Model. The system is underpinned by one of the world's largest normative human movement databases (2M+ movement files, 48B data points) and produces eight categories of biometric outputs including Motion Health, Performance, Mobility, Alignment, Sway, and Force scores.

Broad incumbents

• Qualisys: Qualisys manufactures marker-based optical motion capture systems widely used in sports science and clinical gait analysis, competing with DARI for biomechanics lab budgets at hospitals, universities, and pro sports teams.
• Vicon Motion Systems: Vicon is the established gold-standard marker-based motion capture platform used across clinical gait labs, sports, and VFX. As a broad incumbent with deep installed base, Vicon overlaps DARI in clinical biomechanics despite different capture modality.
• Movella (Xsens): Movella (parent of Xsens) provides IMU-based motion capture and inertial sensing for sports, entertainment, and clinical use — a broader incumbent in the human movement analysis market where DARI competes.
• BTS Bioengineering: BTS Bioengineering makes clinical-grade gait and motion analysis systems widely used in hospital rehab and orthopedic departments — directly overlapping DARI's healthcare clinical motion analysis use case.
• Simi Reality Motion Systems: Simi provides markerless and marker-based video motion analysis software used in clinical, sports, and research applications, overlapping DARI's clinical and performance motion analysis market.

Direct peers

• Noraxon USA: Noraxon offers motion capture and EMG systems for clinical, research, and sports performance — competing with DARI in orthopedic and sports biomechanics, though with a more traditional sensor/IMU-based approach.
• Kinetisense: Kinetisense provides markerless movement analysis using a single depth sensor for clinical, workplace safety, and performance applications — directly overlapping DARI's healthcare and corporate wellness use cases.
• Theia Markerless (Theia3D): Theia3D is a direct peer offering markerless 3D motion capture software for biomechanics and clinical/research gait analysis, competing head-to-head with DARI in the orthopedic and sports biomechanics market.

Emerging players

• DorsaVi: DorsaVi develops wearable sensor-based movement analysis tools for clinical and workplace safety applications, addressing similar orthopedic and injury-prevention use cases to DARI but with a different (wearable) capture modality.
• OpenCap (Stanford): Stanford's OpenCap is an open-source, smartphone-video-based markerless motion analysis platform for biomechanics research. While early-stage, it directly threatens to commoditize the markerless motion capture category DARI competes in.
