Since launching Factorial Biomechanics in 2024, we have been committed to making motion analysis accessible to as many people as we can. It is our firm belief that knowledge is to be shared to foster growth, not to be privately hoarded.
We believe in the power of community. By openly sharing the process of building our company, we aim to connect with like-minded individuals, foster collaboration, and build trust.
We’re investing in collective knowledge; and asking you to join.
As social creatures, we learn from making observations, having interactions and conversations with those around us. We pay attention to those with more experience, and share our knowledge with beginners to help them along as we expand our own understanding of certain concepts by seeing them from new perspectives.
See one, do one, teach one; as they say.
Saving publicly benefits you and fosters community growth:
Showcase your expertise or specific focus to garner attention for your cause.
Share to professional and social channels to get your point across with evidence, quantifiable data, and easy to understand visuals.
Expand professional exposure and share your portfolio.
Collaborate in translational research.
Contribute to the community while expanding knowledge and getting feedback.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
What do we mean by public?
What is “public” is listed, searchable and shareable. The content is meant for the community, for education, for conversations and collaborative exploration. You can think of it as a motion analysis portfolio, and part of a continuous feed.
What about privacy?
As a user you’re not selling private data in exchange for access AND we’re not hoarding your data behind a paywall ⎯ you’re sharing data with the community.
If you require privacy you can still work locally on “free” and download your data and analysis, or upgrade your plan. If you’re concerned about a client’s privacy, know that with an upgraded membership, you can share anonymized motion data with the community, as well as keep your full analysis private.
What makes public analysis credible?
As other public scientific forums, we rely on the honor system, and publicly shared analysis will have profile information of the creator. Because the analysis is being made public, viewers are being invited to draw their own conclusions from the data, and generate conversation.
Why invest in public analysis?
Secure storage, especially for large files like high frequency and high definition video required for biomechanical data, is expensive. Because we believe in the impact it can have, we’re investing in our infrastructure, so more people can learn how differently humans move, and the reasons behind those differences.
Analyzing more kinds of bodies than those who usually get access to a traditional biomechanics lab will help expand understanding of more groups, be by specific actions, region, gender, age, comorbidities.
Public and private storage by membership tier
FREE
Free users can only save analysis publicly.
This means that you can re-visit later and keep going where you left off, or make changes with new information.
EXPLORER
Explorer members have unlimited public analyses and access to private storage, with up to 10 private sessions with advanced personal data security and anonymity features.
PREMIUM & ENTERPRISE
Premium and Enterprise memberships include unlimited private and public storage of video analysis.
You can share a full analysis privately which allows only certain authorized users to access it.
Book a time with the team to determine the right membership for you.
