About

Clinical Innovation Council.

The Band Connect Clinical Innovation Council is a network of clinicians, experts and thought leaders – all with a common interest in furthering clinical excellence through innovation. By bringing together clinical expertise, technological innovation, and practice economics, the Council ensures that Band Connect remains at the forefront of hybrid rehabilitation, delivering solutions that enhance patient care.

With strong roots in research and design thinking, co-founder Abby McInturf launched Band Connect through the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art & Planning (DAAP) and 1819 Innovation Hub. Today, we are a venture-backed med tech company delivering measurable clinical and economic impact to providers and patients across the country. The journey has been deliberate and mission-driven – grounded in clinical rigor and a clear purpose: to empower clinicians and patients through better outcomes, not automation.

While many platforms aim to automate or replace human care, our mission is different: Band Connect enhances the clinician-patient relationship, not replaces it. We believe that keeping clinicians central to care leads to better outcomes, higher compliance, and more efficient care delivery. We’ve proven the value of this approach through IRB-approved trials across leading health systems, including UC Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Cedars-Sinai, and University Hospitals. Our growing list of customers strengthens our belief that this is the right mission, at the right time.

At the heart of Band Connect is a growing, mission-driven team, supported by a world-class network of clinical advisors, health system collaborators, and industry experts. Together, we’re building the infrastructure for the next generation of musculoskeletal care – rooted in evidence, powered by data, and led by the clinicians who deliver care every day.
