Mission
empower individuals to lead active lives while effectively managing MSK conditions.
Vision
Curfly stands at the frontier of a healthcare revolution, offering wearable technology that
harnesses the prowess of electromechanical, gyroscopic, and biomechanical sensors to
empower individuals in monitoring and managing their MSK health proactively. Our
products transcend traditional healthcare approaches by offering continuous, real-time data
and insights into users' musculoskeletal health, fostering preventative care and personalized
interventions.
Executive Summary
Curfly's flagship product is a range of wearable sensors that precisely monitor the motion of
human limbs. These sensors can be easily attached to various body parts and are linked with
our user-friendly application. The application provides real-time motion visualization,
recommends specific exercises to alleviate MSK pain, and corrects body motion.
Over 20 million people in the UK, nearly one-third of the population, suffer from MSK
conditions, resulting in pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. These conditions lead to a
significant economic burden, with over 30 million working days lost annually and up to 30%
of GP consultations in England.

resources, responsive customer support, collaborations with healthcare professionals, and
partnerships with retailers. We will also leverage social media platforms, email marketing,

acquisition.

user-friendly landing page for order placement. We will build a network of healthcare
professionals to recommend our products and explore collaborations with health and
wellness retailers.

Why UK
In recent years, the UK has experienced a steady surge in the prevalence of musculoskeletal
(MSK) conditions, impacting a significant portion of the population. These conditions are not
just a health concern but are also weighing heavily on the economy and the healthcare
system. The rising numbers delineate an urgent need for innovative solutions like Curfly to
alleviate the adverse effects of MSK conditions. This report encapsulates why the UK market
is a focal point for implementing Curfly's solution.
The Current Landscape of MSK Conditions in the UK
As it stands, nearly one-third of the UK population is grappling with a form of MSK condition.
This translates to over 20 million individuals enduring ailments such as arthritis or back pain,
which profoundly impair the quality of life and individual independence. These ailments
manifest through a variety of symptoms including chronic pain, stiffness, and limited
mobility.
Furthermore, MSK conditions have far-reaching impacts, transcending personal health and
infiltrating the economy. It's estimated that upwards of 30 million workdays are lost annually
due to MSK-related conditions. This represents a significant dent in productivity and
contributes to economic stagnation.
The healthcare sector is increasingly burdened with the mounting cases of MSK conditions.
Annually, MSK ailments account for up to 30% of GP consultations in England, and this figure
is on an upward trajectory.
Moreover, an aging population exacerbates the situation, with projections indicating that by
2030, over 15.3 million individuals in the UK will be aged above 65. This demographic shift
foreshadows an impending surge in the demand for MSK services, presenting a window of
opportunity for solutions like Curfly to play a significant role in addressing this looming
healthcare crisis.
Furthermore, the global scenario also presents an encouraging picture, with the United
States leading the charge with a projected revenue of USD 59.36 billion in 2023. Such figures
emphasize the extensive market potential and the necessity for innovative solutions that
Curfly proposes.
Given the current state of affairs, the introduction of Curfly's wearable technology solutions
is not just timely but crucial. By offering a proactive approach to managing MSK conditions,
Curfly stands as a beacon of innovation, ready to transform the lives of millions in the UK.
Through continuous monitoring and gathering vital kinematic data, Curfly empowers
individuals to regain control of their lives, potentially averting the progression of MSK
ailments.
Market Research
The musculoskeletal disorders market is projected to reach $7.9 billion by 2027, growing at a
CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2027. Musculoskeletal disorders, affecting muscles, nerves, and
joints, are prevalent globally with 1.71 billion individuals impacted, as per the 2019 Global
Burden of Disease study. These disorders range from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis to injuries such as fractures. The increasing prevalence underscores the vast

In 2023, musculoskeletal conditions were notably prevalent among the elderly population in
the UK. Data revealed that the age group between 75 and 84 years exhibited the highest
prevalence, with 63% of individuals within this bracket living with a musculoskeletal
condition. A clear pattern emerges when examining the data; as age increases, so does the
populations, underscores the pressing need for effective MSK treatment devices. These
devices, which range from wearable sensors to advanced orthopaedic equipment, play a
pivotal role in diagnosing, managing, and treating various MSK ailments, enabling patients to
regain mobility and alleviate pain. As modern lifestyles contribute to an increase in MSK
disorders – from sedentary work patterns to increased physical activities – the demand for
innovative, efficient, and accessible MSK treatment devices is more pronounced than ever.
Moreover, with the healthcare sector's shift towards personalized and remote care, these
devices not only provide immediate relief but also empower patients with data-driven
insights into their conditions. Given their transformative potential in enhancing quality of life
and reducing long-term healthcare costs, MSK treatment devices stand out as an
