With the Hurt! application, patients can send photos, videos and messages to orthopedic specialists 24/7 and receive an instant response, according to a June 12 press release from the American Hospital Association.
Orthopedists can then recommend follow-up care with network partners or a visit to the emergency room in urgent situations.
The app can accommodate injuries from tears or pops in the shoulder; elbow or wrist injuries that occur during regular daily movement; and pain and swelling around the knee or ankle after twisting, stepping wrong or falling.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
