Intep

What Intep does

Intep (株式会社INTEP) is a Tokyo-based, privately held health-technology company founded on July 27, 2020 as a Keio University Faculty of Medicine academic venture. It builds cloud-based rehabilitation information platforms that digitize and standardize physical-function assessment and clinical workflows for medical institutions and long-term care providers. Its two flagship products are FG-001, a hardware-and-software body-function record system (two tablets, tripod and accessories bundled with cloud services) that uses tablet-camera computer vision to perform markerless gait analysis, stores motor-function, ADL and cognitive data, auto-generates reports (FIM, Barthel Index, NCGG-ADL, HDS-R, MSQ), and recommends training programs from a library of 34 manuals; and SmartRehab, a cloud rehabilitation clinical-support platform for medical institutions that operationalizes the OODA loop, with a stated goal of reducing indirect clinical work time by approximately 40%. Revenue is generated through hardware/system fees plus monthly cloud subscriptions for FG-001, SaaS subscriptions for SmartRehab, and ancillary consulting services. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supplemented by demonstration partner Interlha Co., distribution partner Tsuji Group (≈530 day-service facilities) for the long-term-care segment, and a March 2026 distribution partnership with CYBERDYNE for the medical-institution segment. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and JIS Q 27001:2023 ISMS certification (March 2025) and Privacy Mark certification (September 2024), and participates in the MHLW SBIR Phase 3 AI Hospital consortium alongside the Japan Medical Association (project period March 2024–March 2026).

Core offering

Intep develops and sells cloud-based rehabilitation medical information platforms for healthcare facilities. Its two core products are FG-001, a tablet-based physical function record system that uses AI pose estimation to automate gait analysis, physical function testing (FIM, Barthel Index, HDS-R), and training recommendations for long-term care facilities; and SmartRehab, a cloud-based clinical support system that digitizes the rehabilitation OODA loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act) for medical institutions, standardizing records and reducing indirect work time. The company also offers consulting services for interpreting physical function data in healthcare and long-term care settings.

Product overview

INTEP offers two distinct products: (1) FG-001 — a body function record system designed for long-term care (介護) and rehabilitation facilities, deployed as a 2-tablet hardware-and-cloud-software package enabling standardized physical function testing, video-based AI gait analysis, automatic reporting, and training recommendations; and (2) SmartRehab — a cloud-based rehabilitation medical DX platform for medical institutions that supports the full rehabilitation clinical workflow (OODA loop), standardizes documentation, and reduces indirect clinical work by approximately 40%. Both products share a cloud infrastructure and are marketed to rehabilitation and long-term care settings. FG-001 serves as the on-site assessment tool while SmartRehab serves as the broader clinical management platform. Consulting services round out the portfolio, offering medical and IT advisory support.

Products and services

• FG-001 (身体機能レコードシステム / Body Function Record System) A body function record system for long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, sold as a hardware bundle (two tablets, tripod, stands, holders) with a monthly cloud subscription. It enables healthcare staff to record motor function assessments (walking speed, TUG, grip strength), ADL evaluations (FIM, Barthel Index), and cognitive assessments (HDS-R, MSQ) with automatic report generation. Tablet-captured video is processed via AI computer vision for markerless gait speed and stride analysis. A built-in recommendation engine selects training programs from a library of 34 manuals.
• SmartRehab (スマートリハ) A cloud-based rehabilitation medical digital transformation platform for medical institutions that supports the complete OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) in rehabilitation clinical workflows. The system digitizes and standardizes rehabilitation evaluation and treatment documentation, accumulates rehabilitation medical knowledge, and enables data-driven care with a goal of approximately 40% reduction in indirect clinical work time. Future capabilities include AI-powered optimal treatment recommendations and prognosis prediction.
• Healthcare Consulting Services Healthcare consulting services utilizing medical scientific knowledge and IT technology to support healthcare and long-term care businesses. The firm assists day-care nursing and rehabilitation medical facilities in analyzing and interpreting patient physical function data.

Direct peers

• Hinge Health: US-based digital musculoskeletal care platform offering AI-guided exercise therapy, remote monitoring, and clinical coaching. Most analogous global peer to INTEP's SmartRehab in terms of cloud-based rehabilitation therapy delivery and outcome data accumulation.
• Kaia Health: Digital therapeutics platform for MSK pain and chronic conditions using AI motion tracking via smartphone camera and app-based exercise programs. Closely comparable to FG-001's tablet-based gait analysis and training recommendation approach.
• Sword Health: Global digital MSK therapy platform combining AI motion tracking (using tablet cameras without specialized equipment) with virtual physical therapist support. Directly comparable to INTEP on the markerless AI gait analysis approach and SaaS delivery model.
• Pixios Corporation: Japanese digital rehabilitation management company behind 'RehabMate', deployed to ~1,000 medical facilities. Pixios is both a strategic investor in INTEP and a direct competitor offering rehabilitation management software with overlapping target customers and use cases.

Emerging players

• MedBridge: Digital patient engagement and PT education platform with home exercise program (HEP) prescription tools. Comparable use case to FG-001's automated training recommendations from a 34-manual library, though MedBridge focuses more on clinical education than measurement.

Broad incumbents

• Omada Health: US digital chronic care management platform spanning diabetes, hypertension, and MSK conditions with employer/payer distribution. Comparable business model of cloud-based care programs with outcome-based ROI claims, but operates at much larger scale across multiple chronic conditions.
• CYBERDYNE Corporation: Public Japanese company developing wearable cyborg devices (HAL exoskeleton) and broader rehabilitation infrastructure. Strategic distribution partner for SmartRehab and a broader incumbent in the rehabilitation technology space with hospital network access.

Regional players

• CureApp: Japanese digital therapeutics company with multiple SaMD products addressing nicotine dependence, hypertension, and other conditions. Comparable as a Japanese digital therapeutics/health platform serving regulated medical markets, though focused on different therapeutic areas.
