Digital Health Corp acquires Constant Therapy to improve patient recovery at home

Constant Therapy

Digital Health Corp — which therapy solutions help patients get better in the comfort of their own homes — has acquired Constant Therapy, a privately held developer of mobile solutions to treat patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke, aphasia, and learning disorders. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Constant Therapy designs mobile applications for continuous and customizable therapy for people with speech, language, cognition, memory, and learning disorders. Born out of research at Professor Swathi Kiran’s laboratory at Boston University, the company’s tools are in use at rehabilitation institutions for stroke survivors, victims of traumatic brain injury (TBI), people struggling with aphasia or dementia, and children who need special education and care due to learning disabilities.

Constant Therapy apps include more than 100,000 exercises spread across 65 task categories, enabling patients to augment their in-clinic therapy sessions on their own time, in their own homes, and continue to progress through the exercises in-between clinic visits or after in-clinic therapy has finished.

“Research has proven that brain injury and stroke survivors can push past a supposed ‘progress plateau’ and improve with effective and continuous brain rehabilitation,” said Dr. Joseph (Joe) Smith, MD, PhD, President and CEO of Digital Health Corp. “Constant Therapy’s on-demand and easy-to-use technology, based on extensive clinical research and thousands of active users, helps these patients and others with less severe cognitive disorders, continue to make progress at home, on their schedules.”

Digital Health Corp will rebrand Constant Therapy as The Learning Corp to “better symbolize the unique ability of the company’s technology to assess each patient’s progress during recovery and adapt to individual patients’ performance.” Also, the company is working on additional enhancements that will be supported by the continued development of a compelling, deep, and rich body of clinical evidence.

“We are delighted to join Digital Health Corp; its mission of helping patients get better at home resonates completely with the values, culture and products we have developed at Constant Therapy,” said Veera Anantha, PhD, founder of Constant Therapy, Inc.
