The Digital Musculoskeletal Clinic developer aims to reduce surgeries and opioid use for joint and muscle pain by offering a combination of motion technology, wearable pain relief devices and physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified health coaches.
HInge Health has raised more than $1 billion from investors. The company said it landed more customers in 2022 than the previous seven years combined and now serves 25 million members through more than 1,250 customers such as Boeing, Google and Verizon.
This year, Hinge Health hired James Budge as CFO and Deborah Conrad as the company’s first chief marketing officer.
CEO and co-founder Daniel Perez called Budge “an exceptional business mind with a track record for delivering consistent financial results.”
Conrad, meanwhile, had a 28-year career at Intel where she rose to VP and chief marketing officer.
“Deborah is an exceptional marketer and leader with a history of building world-class marketing organizations. … Her expertise will help us scale our business for greater impact as we enter this next exciting phase of our journey,” Hinge Health President Jim Pursley said.
