System and method for tracking patient recovery following orthopedic procedure

This invention describes a system that helps track how well a patient is recovering after orthopedic surgery. It uses a small device attached to the patient's skin to measure their walking activity, like steps taken, both before and after the procedure. This data, combined with their medical history from electronic records, is fed into a computer model that predicts their expected recovery path, including how much they should be walking and their pain levels over time. The system then compares the patient's actual progress to this prediction to see if they are on track.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in comfortable, long-duration epidermally attached sensors have made continuous patient monitoring more practical. Concurrently, specialized machine learning platforms have become more accessible for building predictive health models.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMachine learning model, EMR integration, custom sensor
