How The Self-Check Works

Translating evidence-based mechanical assessment into a simple, 3-step digital interface.

01

2-Min Digital Intake

Brief subjective screening to filter out non-mechanical issues and safety red flags before testing.

02

Movement Testing

Self-administer simple movement checks to observe how your symptoms respond and centralize.

03

Targeted Action Plan

Receive immediate directional exercise guidance or connect with specialized clinical care.

Educational information only. This tool does not diagnose a condition or replace professional medical care.

Platform Vision & Clinical Roadmap

Bypassing specialist waitlists with asynchronous, autonomous orthopedic guidance.

Phase 1: Free MVP (Live)

Instant D2C self-assessment tool for desk-bound professionals to validate movement patterns and directional preference response.

Phase 2: Human-in-the-Loop

Asynchronous clinical decision support system pairing Task-Oriented Dialogue agents with credentialed physical therapists.

Phase 3: Autonomous Care

Two-sided digital ecosystem linking validated autonomous triage engines directly with specialized MDT clinical networks.

Deterministic Glassbox AI

Sentioric utilizes a proprietary Hierarchical HyperGraph (HHG) reasoning and memory layer. By grounding multi-agent dialogue engines in deterministic clinical logic, we eliminate LLM hallucinations while enforcing strict domain policies and safety guardrails.

Traditional Healthcare Journey The Sentioric Platform
Delayed Access: 10-14 day wait times for specialist evaluations. Immediate Triage: Clinical-grade mechanical screening in < 5 minutes.
High Costs: Expensive co-pays, unneeded MRIs, and generic care. Targeted Guidance: Free initial screening focused on movement response.
Generic Plans: Generalized exercise sheets that ignore root cause. Dynamic Logic: Exercises adapted based on real-time symptom centralization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding mechanical back pain, directional preference, and self-management.

What is a directional preference in mechanical back pain? +

A directional preference occurs when repeated movements or sustained postures in one specific direction (such as lumbar extension/backward bending) cause symptoms to decrease, abolish, or move closer to the center of the spine. Identifying this pattern allows individuals to target the specific movement that triggers rapid recovery.

How does pain centralization indicate recovery potential? +

Centralization is the phenomenon where pain originating in the lower back and radiating down into the buttocks, thigh, or leg retreats back toward the spine's midline during specific mechanical movements. Extensive clinical literature demonstrates that centralization is a strong positive indicator for successful conservative self-management.

Why is range of motion and pain location re-testing critical? +

A quality mechanical assessment does not rely on static imaging alone. Instead, it measures baseline range of motion, pain location, and intensity before and immediately after repeated end-range movement checks. Observing whether spinal mobility improves or pain location shifts provides immediate signal on whether an extension or flexion strategy is appropriate.

Does the Sentioric self-check provide a formal medical diagnosis? +

No. Sentioric delivers educational self-screening driven by deterministic mechanical logic. It helps users observe movement-based symptom responses to determine extension responsiveness. It does not replace independent clinical evaluations by a licensed healthcare professional.
