Make resistance usable
Translate familiar rehabilitation principles into a device that can be configured for facial movement patterns.
About ISO Metrik
A rehabilitation gap became a decade-long design mission.
ISO Metrik was founded to give clinicians and patients a more structured way to apply resistance, progression, and continuity to facial neuromuscular rehabilitation.

Founder origin
Designed from lived experience and persistent problem-solving.
After experiencing facial weakness associated with a mini-stroke in 2012, inventor Capri McGhee encountered a familiar problem: facial recovery work could be difficult to standardize, progress, and continue outside therapy. That experience began years of device development focused on making resistance-based facial rehabilitation more practical for clinicians and patients.
Our mission
Create the infrastructure for a stronger care pathway.
Keep providers in control
Build around evaluation, clinical judgment, safety, documentation, and planned progression.
Extend care beyond visits
Support continuity by carrying the provider’s device setup and exercise parameters into home practice.
Build evidence responsibly
Pair innovation with transparent research, careful claims, and meaningful clinical outcomes.
How the idea evolved
From prototype to a configurable therapy platform.
The device combines intraoral stability, indexed direction, movable lip contact, and adjustable resistance. The result is a platform intended to serve different movement axes, therapy modes, and provider-directed programs without losing the connection between clinic and home.
- Human-centered device iteration
- Interdisciplinary clinical input
- Protected intellectual property
- Training and workflow development
- A research agenda built for transparency
What guides us
Four commitments shape the work.
- 1
Patient dignity
Facial change can affect identity, communication, and confidence; the care experience must respect the whole person.
- 2
Clinical credibility
Products and programs should fit professional reasoning, safety, documentation, and multidisciplinary care.
- 3
Practical continuity
A good plan should be teachable, repeatable, and understandable beyond a single appointment.
- 4
Evidence integrity
We distinguish design intent and scientific rationale from claims that require direct clinical proof.
Our vision
Make facial rehabilitation a clearer, measurable category of care.
For patients
A defined pathway with professional guidance, meaningful goals, and a home plan connected to clinical care.
For clinicians
A configurable tool, common terminology, training, documentation, and progression framework.
For health systems
A pilot-ready model that can connect service lines, referral networks, outcomes, and responsible research.
Next step
Help build the next chapter of facial rehabilitation.
We welcome conversations with rehabilitation clinicians, referring providers, researchers, and health-system partners.
