Research & Development at Hinge Health

We don't automate healthcare paperwork. We automate care.

Our mission

Most healthcare technology is finding clever ways to make the existing system slightly better. We're building a different system.

We have a business model that rewards us for actually healing people. That means we can invest in technology that delivers care directly, rather than technology that helps humans bill for it. That unlocks a genuinely different set of engineering challenges, starting with musculoskeletal care: AI that perceives movement, reasons about biomechanics, and adapts clinical guidance in real time. Systems built to regulatory-grade standards, not just demo-grade ones.

Making this possible is a team that has genuinely crossed into the autonomous-agent era. We build harnesses that let AI agents ship high-quality PRs without engineers writing a line of code. We review reasoning logs, not just diffs. We deploy agent-first workflows across hundreds of engineers. Our designers code, and our engineers build interactive prototypes.

Come build with us.

Seeing What Isn't There: How We Re-Engineered 3D Pose Estimation for the Edge

How we re-engineered TrueMotion's computer vision stack to accurately track human movement even when parts of the user are off-camera — going from 45% to 63% accuracy on out-of-frame poses.

Our License to Innovate in Healthcare

Data, regulatory, distribution, and research moats give us a license most healthcare companies don't have: to automate care itself, not just the back office.
