Systems And Methods For Surgical And Interventional Planning, Support, Post-Operative Follow-Up, And Functional Recovery Tracking
First Claim
1. A method of treating a patient, comprising:
- receiving pre-operative data regarding a patient, the pre-operative data including at least one of pre-operative pain data, pre-operative range-of-motion data, and pre-operative level-of-activity data;
collecting data from a force sensor embedded in a device inserted into a joint of the patient, the force sensor being configured to sense a force acting on the device;
devising a plan based at least in part upon the collected data;
receiving post-operative data regarding the patient following performance of a surgical procedure on the patient that was performed at least in part based on the plan, the post-operative data including at least one of post-operative pain data, post-operative range-of-motion data, and post-operative level-of-activity data;
comparing the pre-operative data and the post-operative data; and
determining an effectiveness of the plan based at least in part upon the collected data and the comparison of the pre-operative data and the post-operative data.

Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. In general, a patient can be tracked throughout medical treatment including through initial onset of symptoms, diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment. In one embodiment, a patient and one or more medical professionals involved with treating the patient can electronically access a comprehensive treatment planning, support, and review system. The system can provide recommendations regarding diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment based on data gathered from the patient and the medical professional(s). The system can manage the tracking of multiple patients, thereby allowing for data comparison between similar aspects of medical treatments and for learning over time through continual data gathering, analysis, and assimilation to decision-making algorithms.
