Functional Mobility Intelligence

Detecting functional decline before it becomes a fall, a hospitalization, or a loss of independence.

A structured functional tracking platform for seniors in independent and supported living communities — and the home-based care that supports them. Built and running in Canada.

The Problem

Decline is detected too late.

Across senior living and home-based care, function is documented as symptoms — not trajectories. Decline is recognized only after the fall, after the hospitalization, after independence is already lost. Care managers sense a resident is slipping, but have no objective way to show it.

Purpose-built tools
No one tracks senior functional trajectory in a structured, longitudinal way in residential and home-based care.

The system reacts. It was never built to predict.

The Solution

Structured, longitudinal functional measurement — built for senior care.

functionIQ is a tablet-first platform that replaces narrative documentation with four evidence-based outcome measures, captured at a resident's baseline and at every reassessment, then trended over time.

01
Timed Up and Go (TUG)

Mobility and fall-risk benchmark, captured and trended at every visit.

02
4-Meter Gait Speed

Validated predictor of adverse outcomes in older adults.

03
30-Second Sit-to-Stand

Lower extremity strength and functional endurance indicator.

04
Modified 4-Stage Balance Test

Static balance progression, objectively scored every reassessment.

Rules-based decline detection automatically flags clinically meaningful change — every reassessment compared against the patient's own prior performance. Surfacing risk before it becomes an event.
Inside the Platform

A working clinical platform — not a concept.

Real reassessment workflow, real alert engine, real longitudinal trajectories — running on a Canadian-hosted backend. Below are screenshots from the live platform.

Longitudinal trajectory

Every reassessment plotted against the patient's own prior performance, across all four outcome measures — the trend signal EMRs never deliver.

Triage dashboard

Patients sorted by who needs the clinician's attention today. The alert engine surfaces decline before the patient or family does.

Reassessment in < 8 minutes

Tap-to-start timer, manual override, previous-vs-current visible at every step. Designed for the home visit, not the clinic desk.

Plain-English decline alerts

Rules-based, auditable, defensible. Every flag traceable to a specific MDC/MCID threshold — no LLMs in the clinical decision path.

Technology

Built for Canadian clinics. Built for the home visit.

A modern, privacy-first architecture designed from day one for the realities of home-based rehabilitation in the Canadian regulatory context.

P

Tablet-first PWA

Next.js + Tailwind. Installable on iPad and Android tablets. Offline-capable for home visits with autosync.

S

Secure Backend

Postgres with authentication and row-level data isolation between clinics — with Canadian data residency from day one.

L

Privacy-First Architecture

PIPEDA-compliant, BC PIPA-aware, PHIPA-ready. Role-based access and an immutable audit-log data model for protected health information.

R

Rules-Based Intelligence

No LLMs in the clinical decision path. Deterministic, auditable, explainable decline detection.

Compliance

Built Canadian. Built compliant.

functionIQ is not a US product retrofitted for Canada. Compliance is architectural, not bolted on.

What It Delivers

Objective answers for everyone who cares about the resident.

Brief, evidence-based assessments establish a clear functional baseline for each person. From there, functionIQ tracks change over time — so you can see, objectively, whether someone is progressing, declining, or holding steady.

For residents

Physical function is monitored proactively — not discovered after something goes wrong. Every resident gets a clear baseline and a documented trajectory over time.

For your organization

A documented picture of resident health trajectories across the community — informing programming, care decisions, and resource planning, with declining residents surfaced early.

For families

Real, objective information to help plan ahead — whether that's adjusting an exercise program, scheduling rehabilitation, or simply understanding what's changing and why.

No one is doing this in a structured, longitudinal way for seniors in residential settings — an opportunity to lead, not follow.

Nicolas Marchant

Founder, functionIQ · Founder & Operator, PhysioHome

functionIQ was built by a working clinician, for the clinicians and communities that serve seniors. The founder runs a home-visit physiotherapy practice across Vancouver's Lower Mainland — the problem functionIQ solves is one lived daily, not researched at a distance.

Domain depth across geriatric rehabilitation, home-care operations, clinical workflow design, and direct patient care in the target population.

Why Now

The right platform. The right country. The right moment.

An aging population. A strained system. No purpose-built tool — until now. functionIQ is built and running in Canada, by a clinician-operator, for the communities that need it most. We'd be glad to walk you through how it fits your team and calendar.
