Portland (WGME) – David Holomakoff, a graduate of the University of Maine, has transformed his interest in visualizing body movements into a global company.
Holomakoff founded Kinotek, a company based in Portland, Maine, which uses light detection and sharing technology to create graphics and 3D reports. This innovation helps individuals understand their movements and how they relate to pain.
“Helping personal coaches to show their customers in a whole new way that they really evolve and how it has an impact on certain things they feel,” said Holomakoff.
Holomakoff says that Kinotek was made possible by teaming up with the local frame Pat Panaia, at the University of Maine, Maine Technology Institute and the financing of venture capital.
Kinotek’s technology has been a headlight of hope for many injuries, according to CEO Pat Panaia.
“When you can improve them, when you can identify them early, just get a little corrective in there, it will make a huge difference,” said Panaia.
Revenue director Joey Spitz explained technology capabilities.
“Using AI, this technology identifies the shoulder, the knee, the elbow and once we have these markers, we measure the corner distance in 3D space,” said Spitz.
Maine -based technology is now used in 400 locations worldwide, covering fields such as physiotherapy, physical training, professional sports and chiropractic work.
“Here in Monument Square, we have developed the technology that we have not only exported not in the country, but in the world as far as the Philippines, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and this list is only growing and growing,” said Spitz.
Kinotek collaborates with the University of Maine, the hiring of trainees and graduates who seek to stay in Maine and pursue careers in engineering.
Dillon Kelley, a graduate of Umaine employee in Kinotek, expressed his enthusiasm about the evolution of the company.
“It is crazy to be part of the products constantly evolving. You go out with an idea that we are going to sell to physiotherapists. We will give them a range of movement data, then where we are now with a lot of sports and physical trainers,” said Kelley.
Spitz highlighted the importance of Portland as a base of the company.
“There was no better place to start our business, if you can believe it, that here at the heart of it in Portland,” said Spitz.
Kinotek is on the right track to reach $ 1 million in income in the coming months.
