Here are five points:
1. The health center will use software that Columbia, Mo.-based Oberd developed.
2. Patients will wear devices similar to fitness bracelets and track their recovery progress. When the patient hits a distance limit or heart rate limit, the device will ask a short question to record feelings in real time.
3. Surgeons will follow-up with the orthopedic patients, asking survey questions, while also tracking patients’ heart rate, range of motion and mobility.
4. The combined tracking program is designed to evolve with the patient’s recovery, avoiding redundant or inapplicable questions.
5. This technology is designed to provide patients in rural areas with quality care during the recovery process.
