Motion analysis without a lab.

Movalytics is a web app where you upload a video and get joint angles, gait parameters and forces back within minutes — no markers, no gait lab, and without the inverse-kinematics pipeline the rest of the field uses.

Babon Innovations is a small team in Utrecht with one product. Movalytics runs on EU infrastructure in Paris (Scaleway, no data leaving the EU) and is built for physiotherapists, researchers, and movement-science programmes.

The extraction method — pulling clinical joint angles directly out of the rotation matrices of a parametric body model, without the usual IK solver and without an intermediate skeleton — was filed as a patent in April 2026. Movalytics is categorised as an MDR Class I medical device; the self-declaration is in progress and we expect CE marking in the course of 2026. A validation paper, co-written with Hogeschool Utrecht, is on the way.

Three ways to use Movalytics

Physiotherapy and research are free in exchange for the right to use the anonymised data. Education is a separate service with its own pricing because education recordings come with different quality guarantees and do not belong in the research database.

Physiotherapy

Objective documentation in daily practice

You upload a gait video of a patient and get a clinical report back within minutes — joint angles, gait parameters, symmetry. That is an objective measurement alongside your clinical judgement, usable in the patient record and in the conversation with the patient. Free for practices that join the database: we keep only the movement parameters (no video, no patient data) and use those to build normative references — references that in turn make the tool better for everyone.

Research

Free analysis, in exchange for data and co-publication

If you have video data from a specific research project — back pain, post-surgical recovery, sports, elderly care — we analyse it for free, including support during processing. In exchange we get to use the anonymised kinematics and we publish together. You keep control over your protocol and over what happens with your data. Serious graduate projects count as research too.

Education

Learn biomechanics by measuring it yourself

For movement-science and movement-health programmes. Students record themselves and each other, upload the videos, and see the movement come back as joint-angle charts and gait parameters — comparing the theory from lectures with the reality of their own gait. Honestly: this mode is still batch-only right now, so what you upload today you get back tomorrow. Fine for classroom use, not for the clinical flow. Pricing and setup are agreed per programme.

Database-these

Why is the physio version free?

A good clinical movement dataset — large, representative, labelled — does not exist yet. Not because nobody wants it, but because a gait-lab recording costs tens of euros per measurement and is out of reach for almost every practice and most researchers. The analyses everyone would want to run (age-based norms, cross-diagnosis patterns, recovery reference sets) simply do not exist as a result.

Our analysis costs cents per recording. That changes the arithmetic: if the tool is free for physiotherapists and researchers, and every recording going through it anonymously contributes to the dataset, then the dataset builds itself while its users simply do their work. We will develop the tool either way; the dataset that grows underneath it is where the long-term difference lies.
