A network for students interested in evidence-based health care

Jeff Scott

I am a third year in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program at Elon University. I attended Clemson University where I received my B.S in Biological Sciences with a minor in Bioengineering in 2011. My professional interests include pediatrics, telehealth, orthopedics, technology in rehab, virtual reality therapy, and international health and wellness. I am the founder and CEO of PhysioLink Technologies, a medical and tech start-up whose mission is to revolutionize the way the rehabilitation field delivers home exercise programs with the use of state of the art consumer technology like the Microsoft Kinect and Google Glass.
