Private practice physical therapy, remote patient monitoring, and wearable tech are changing how PTs measure progress and deliver care. In this episode, Jimmy talks with researcher James Heathers about bad science reporting, wearable devices, and what real data could mean for clinic growth and patient outcomes.
James Heathers is known online for the viral “Just Says In Mice” project, which highlights how research headlines often exaggerate findings from early-stage studies. But his work goes far beyond that — he now helps build wearable technology designed to help physical therapists track movement, measure progress, and improve patient compliance remotely.
For clinic owners and PT leaders, this conversation hits an important question: how do we separate hype from real innovation? From research literacy to remote monitoring tools, understanding where healthcare technology is actually heading can help clinics make better decisions about operations, patient care, and growth.
If you’re running a clinic, managing staff, or thinking about the future of telehealth and wearable tech in rehab, this episode gives a clear look at what’s coming next.
