Pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative patient management

Abstract

An end to end process is disclosed that includes an installation of a prosthetic component, a prosthetic joint, or repair a musculoskeletal system. The pathway of care comprises a pre-operative pathway of care, an intra-operative pathway of care, and a post-operative pathway of care. An application downloaded to a computer drives the process. The application can include integrated PROMS, pain scores, patient Q&A, surveys, a calendar of events (such as physical therapy visits), and contact to surgeon, doctor, or healthcare provider. The pathway of care is an end to end process utilizing wearable devices, implantable devices, sensorized equipment, and sensorized tools to generate measurement data that supports a pre-operative plan, surgery, and post-operative rehabilitation. The application couples to the devices disclosed herein above to engage the patient one or more tasks such that sensors on the devices generate measurement data. The process provides better patient care while allowing the surgeon, doctor, or healthcare provider to handle more patients.
