Orthopedic Remote Patient Monitoring

RPM is well established with significant clinical evidence, however is relatively new to orthopedics

The necessity to perform physical examinations has meant orthopedic care has been delivered using the same consultative-based model since its inception in the 18th century. Telehealth is now widely accepted, however the key to unlocking huge efficiency gains and more responsive care is access to clinical-grade examinations outside the consultation room.

Digital Knee® - The data standard for knee health

The Digital Knee® ecosystem is built around a goniometer-based sensor and the Digital Knee® Twin, a clinical data standard designed specifically for the knee health. The Digital Knee® Twin is a digital representation of a patients real knee which incorporates clinical data across four categories to build a holistic clinical picture of knee health;

• Anatomy: Active and passive terminal knee flexion / extension

• Function: Gait analysis incl. functional knee and hip ROM and spatiotemporal parameters such as stride length, speed & cadence

• Activity: Daily living and posture recognition using AI algorithms as well as adherence to surgical and rehab protocols

• Symptoms: Based on gold standard patient reported outcomes such as KOOS and pain scores

Studies have validated the accuracy and reliability of the Digital Knee® in the real world. Physicians can now trust remote data to make clinical decisions, identify at-risk cases and determine follow-up necessity clinic efficiencies.

Supporting existing clinic workflows and traditional care pathways

Its simple to add Digital Knee® to your practice without disruption. RPM insights can be used as much or little as you are comfortable with. As you gain experience the data becomes more embedded in supporting workflows and optimizing traditional care pathways

• Consultations: Printable reports used during scheduled encounters

• Telehealth: Objective data used for more interactive telehealth consultations

• Caseload management: Notifications enable early detection and intervention to improve clinical outcomes

• Expedited intake: In-app questionnaires optimize consultation time and reduce forms in waiting room

• Triage: Digital twin to identify appropriateness of specific intervention pathways to optimize outcomes and patient costs
