As healthcare systems face increasing challenges in scaling patient care, reducing costs, and improving treatment outcomes, innovative digital solutions are essential. EliteFit.AI, an AI-driven motion analysis platform, is revolutionizing healthcare and physical therapy by providing a scalable, frictionless, and cost-effective solution for musculoskeletal assessments, rehabilitation, and patient monitoring.
EliteFit.AI’s proprietary motion AI engine—accessible via APIs, SDKs, or HTML5—enables healthcare providers, insurance companies, and government organizations to integrate real-time movement assessments into their existing platforms. This technology enhances patient outcomes by improving compliance, providing data-driven insights, and enabling remote rehabilitation without the need for wearables.
Founded by Ani Bhalekar, a former McKinsey & Company Associate Partner and Microsoft product management leader, EliteFit.AI is already serving clients across Asia, including Siloam Hospitals and Fita/Telkomsel in Indonesia, SATA CommHealth, Active Health and the Health Promotion Board in Singapore, Pure Group in Hong Kong, among others. By eliminating the barriers of traditional physical therapy—such as high costs, limited access to clinicians, and lack of at-home monitoring—EliteFit.AI is redefining rehabilitation and preventive care, all while increasing revenues for its clients
Recognizing the transformative potential of AI in healthcare, 1337 Ventures, Malaysia’s leading early-stage venture capital firm, has invested in EliteFit.AI through its 1337 Capital 1. This investment will accelerate EliteFit.AI’s mission to become the world’s largest digital personal training and rehabilitation platform, providing universal and affordable access to motion-based healthcare solutions.
Bikesh Lakhmichand, CEO and Founding Partner of 1337 Ventures, emphasized the impact of this partnership: “The healthcare industry is in urgent need of scalable, tech-driven solutions that reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. EliteFit.AI’s AI-powered motion assessment technology is a game-changer, making rehabilitation and physical therapy more accessible and data-driven.”
For EliteFit.AI, this partnership with 1337 Ventures represents a crucial step in its expansion. “Collaborating with 1337 Ventures has been invaluable to our growth,” said Ani Bhalekar, CEO of EliteFit.AI. “Their expertise in scaling early-stage startups and deep understanding of digital health will help us bring AI-driven rehabilitation to a global audience, empowering healthcare providers and improving patient care.”

- Lower costs for patients through remote assessments and automated rehab guidance.
