The Digital Transformation of the Orthopedic Industry is Here and Now!
Orthopedic device manufacturers are embracing digital technologies to bring real-time data and analytics to the forefront. These technologies enhance patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and span various stages from initial interventional planning to surgery, patient recovery, and long-term self-monitoring. In fact, digital technology is being applied in all three phases of orthopedics: pre-op, intra-op, and post-op.
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) plays a pivotal role in this ongoing transformation. Specifically,
Continuous Monitoring Outside Hospitals:
RPM utilizes wearable devices and digital technology to continuously monitor physiological data such as heart rate, temperature, movement, and activity levels. This critical information allows providers and researchers to monitor patients outside of hospitals and surgical facilities.
Improved Post-Op Recovery:
Patients can recover at home, reducing inpatient time and improving cost savings for hospital systems. Access to RPM data enables physicians to assess and treat conditions earlier in the recovery cycle, leading to better patient outcomes.
Data-Driven Decision-Making:
RPM feeds vital statistics into a biometric data platform, which processes and analyzes the data. Providers receive this information in a secure and easily accessible cloud dashboard, allowing for informed decisions to be made and for personalized care to be delivered.
Orthopedic-Specific Applications:
RPM is particularly relevant in orthopedics, where it aids in monitoring joint replacements, fractures, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Wearable devices and smart implants contribute to enhanced data collection and better management.
The orthopedic industry is actively embracing digital solutions to enhance patient care, streamlining processes, and improving outcomes. RPM empowers healthcare providers by enabling real-time monitoring, early intervention, and personalized care.

Key contributions by Sensoria Health include:
Wearable Telerehab Solutions:
Sensoria socks: These smart socks have extended gait monitoring to a patient’s everyday life. By providing real-time data on foot pressure, time on the ground, and other temporal and spatial gait parameters, they empower clinicians to assess movement patterns remotely. For patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries or managing chronic conditions, Sensoria socks offer personalized insights and early intervention opportunities.
Sensoria Walk Dedicated Mobile Application for Android
Smart knee brace: Designed for post-surgery knee rehabilitation, this wearable can be applied to virtually any knee brace in the market and integrates sensors and a dedicated mobile app. It enables precise monitoring of knee movement, range of motion, and recovery progress. Orthopedic specialists can remotely prescribe multiple rehab exercises to prevent incorrect patient performance or lack of adherence and track and adjust treatment plans as needed.
OSAG, a leading orthopedic solutions provider in Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, will announce a strategic partnership with Sensoria Health at the upcoming ExpoSanita’ in Bologna on April 17th to April 19th. This collaboration marks a significant step towards digital transformation in the orthopedic industry, enhancing patient outcomes and revolutionizing the Ro+Ten product offerings thanks to a full remote patient monitoring system designed from the ground up with the patient, the orthopedic surgeon, and the physical therapist in mind.
The partnership aligns with Sensoria Health's mission to leverage technology for improved health outcomes. "We are excited to work with OSAG to bring the benefits of Sensoria Knee Brace technology to patients in Switzerland, Italy, and Germany" said Davide Vigano', Cofounder and CEO at Sensoria Health Inc. "Together, we can empower both patients and orthopedic professionals with actionable data and enhance the overall patient experience."
AI-Driven Insights:
The Sensoria Health’s platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patient data. By combining wearable sensor data with AI and machine learning algorithms, clinicians gain deeper insights into gait abnormalities, weight distribution, and biomechanics. These insights inform personalized treatment strategies and aim to improve orthopedic outcomes.
Diabetic Foot Ulcer Care:
The Diabetic Foot Boot, powered by Sensoria Health, addresses a critical need in orthopedics. It’s the first smart wound management footwear for diabetic foot ulcer care. By monitoring pressure points and detecting early signs of ulcers, it helps to prevent complications and enhance patient safety.
