About OTSRS
A very common problem is that patients do not have access, whether for financial reasons or physical location, to physical therapy and rehabilitation services after orthopaedic surgery. In many cases, the exercises we ask them to perform are simple and can be performed at home. The problem is that patients cannot remember what they were supposed to do and have often lost the papers which showed them what to do and how to do it. They also do not remember to do their exercise every day and we have no measure of their compliance.
This system (web and mobile) not only allow the patient to see what he/she is supposed to do at this phase of recovery, but also let the patient see his/her progress againts other patients. The app allows the patient to record his/her compliance. It is connected to wearable monitor such as fitbit and ihealth, and can upload users everyday activity and health data to the server. A physician can then monitor the patient’s progress between office visits and determine is he/she is progressing as expected.
