PocketPhysio Business Plan Case Study
A short business case study that walks students through PocketPhysio, an AI phone app for at-home physical therapy, and asks them to think about the problem it solves and how a business plan maps out a new company. It builds reading comprehension, vocabulary (physical therapy, AI, business plan), and early business-thinking skills, and is written for a 3rd-grade reading level.
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a whole-class or small-group reading during a 30-40 minute social studies or ELA block, previewing the Key Terms box before reading the problem and solution sections.
- Discussion question: Why do you think many people stop going to physical therapy before they are healed, and how does PocketPhysio try to help?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pre-read the Key Terms together, then have students draw or label a simple picture for each of the three terms before reading the passage.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to name one thing a business plan should include (such as who the customers are or how the company earns money) and explain why it matters.
- Estimated time: about 30-40 minutes including vocabulary preview, reading, and one discussion question.
