How Bonet works

What the app does, how it measures, and what it does not claim.

Three kinds of practice

Bonet is a practice tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Ask your therapist or doctor before starting.

Movement

Your camera finds body and hand positions on your device. The app uses them to count reps, show an estimate of range of motion and give form tips. There are 34 exercises grouped by body region.

Speaking

You say a word or phrase. The app compares what it recognised with the target and gives a score. It works in English and Cantonese, in 21 levels.

Brain games

Short games for memory, attention and quick thinking, with levels of difficulty.

What the measurements mean

  • Range of motion is an estimate from a single phone or computer camera. It changes with camera height, angle, distance and light. It is not a medical measurement. Compare yourself with yourself, not with other people.
  • Speech scores are automatic and can be wrong, especially with accents, background noise or a poor microphone.
  • The practice report and the words "improving", "steady" or "declining" only summarise the practice you did. They are not a diagnosis or a clinical assessment.

Why feedback and routine

Many people find it easier to keep up a practice routine when they can see what they did and get clear prompts. Bonet is built to make daily practice easier to start and to keep track of. We do not claim that it improves, restores or treats any condition.

What we have not done

  • We have not run a clinical trial of Bonet.
  • No medical regulator has reviewed or cleared it.
  • We do not publish outcome statistics.
