About us
Our Story
TheBioSparrow was founded in 2017, by two young, spirited entrepreneurs, who met at business school and graduated with business ideas! Our first product, Squegg, was launched in 2019 after a successful kickstarter campaign where we raised $22k with 577 backers.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a smart solution that can improve clinicians’ assessment for upper extremity, enable them to plan treatment and provide them with tracking patient’s progress both in person and remotely. Our solution will be geared towards improving patient compliance for therapy through gamification.
