KINEMATIX introduces wearable technology to the O&P sector
ORTHOMONiTOR can provide the documentation and device utilization justification to address payer demand for increased evidence of clinical efficacy and patients’ return to function; streamlining reimbursement and compliance with payer-related audits through greater accuracy, efficiency and transparency.
“ORTHOMONiTOR goes beyond the clinician visit care and provides continuous user friendly guidance and feedback” said Dr. Miguel Oliveira, Kinematix Chief Scientific Officer. "ORTHOMONiTOR supports treatment guidance and increases self-management, encouraging individuals to actively participate in their own care”.
Joseph Ternullo, JD, MPH, President of Kinematix US operations in Cambridge, MA commented, “ORTHOMONiTOR paves the way for a new generation of ‘smart’ orthotics and prosthetics and joins the family of Kinematix products that we believe will contribute to improved treatment of mobility related conditions”.
The ORTHOMONITOR has motion sensors and can be adapted to different orthotics and prosthetics.
