Design of Remote Real-Time Monitoring and Biofeedback System to Connect Patients and Clinicians During Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

The ORME (Orthopaedic Rehabilitation for ME) is a comprehensive solution developed by NTR Biosensors to address the issue of uncertain weight monitoring during orthopaedic rehabilitation. It consists of multiple ultra-thin force resistance sensors-equipped insole, microelectronics for data processing and transmission, a dedicated smartphone app called ORME control app, and a cloud platform called ORME PRO for remote monitoring by clinicians. The system alerts patients and clinicians to overload events by offering real-time biofeedback and providing haptic and audible cues to correct gait during telemonitoring or telerehabilitation. This minimizes the risk of new injuries and prevents overloading-related setbacks during rehabilitation, while also enabling gait analysis and plantar pressure monitoring. The ORME & ORME PRO systems present an innovative solution to enhance home care, telemonitoring, and tele-orthopaedic rehabilitation outcomes, empowering patients and specialists with an effective tool to monitor and manage the telerehabilitation process and patient-reported outcomes.
