Problem
Post-operative orthopedic patients often experience dissatisfaction due to incomplete rehabilitation and a lack of continuous monitoring outside of clinical settings. This can lead to poor recovery outcomes and reduced patient compliance with physical therapy regimens.
Solution
InkWell Health provides a remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) solution that utilizes a temporary tattoo applied to the skin to track patient recovery following musculoskeletal surgery or injury. The tattoo collects medical-grade data on swelling, temperature, and range of motion, transmitting it to a mobile application. This data is then shared with clinicians, providing a comprehensive view of the patient's healing progress between office visits. By providing real-time information and visualizations, InkWell Health enables clinicians to adjust treatment plans and ensure patients achieve their recovery goals, promoting better outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
