Problem
Individuals with physical disabilities often face challenges in accessing appropriate prosthetic and orthotic (P&O) devices and in objectively measuring the effectiveness of these devices in improving their mobility and function. Traditional methods for assessing P&O outcomes can be subjective, time-consuming, and lack standardization, hindering evidence-based clinical care.
Solution
Orthocare Innovations develops and commercializes patient-centric technologies for the prosthetic, orthotic, and rehabilitation fields. Their offerings include advanced sensor and actuation technologies designed to monitor and analyze patient physiology, alignment, and gait in real-time. The Clinical Outcome Measures Electronic Toolkit (COMET) is a mobile application that provides a library of clinical outcome measures for P&O users and practitioners, simplifying the process of selecting, administering, and scoring relevant tests. COMET aims to standardize outcome measurement in clinical practice, enabling practitioners to document the effectiveness of P&O treatments and contribute to the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with physical disabilities, prosthetists, orthotists, rehabilitation specialists, and clinical researchers involved in the prescription, fitting, and evaluation of prosthetic and orthotic devices.
