A 3D-Animated and Patient-Facing Solution That Facilitates Surgical Recovery and Rehabilitation While Reducing the Risk of Hospital Readmissions
Atlas Health’s 3D-animated, precision-scripted, and adherence-promoting Surgical-Recovery Application was designed to help patients achieve optimal recovery after knee-replacement surgery—and help outcomes-accountable providers get better clinical, financial, and administrative results in:
- volume-based fee-for-service (FFS) markets,
- value-based healthcare (VBHC) markets, and
- volume-to-value (V2V) transition markets.
This unparalleled solution for knee-replacement patients incorporates best practices in patient engagement, education, empowerment, activation, and adherence:
- A plain-language intro meets patients exactly where they are—mentally, physically, and emotionally—to promote health literacy.
- Easy-to-follow 3D animations show exercises from multiple angles—with instant-replay buttons to accelerate learning.
- Perfectly timed voiceovers offer clinical guidance with empathy and encouragement—to help patients feel as capable, supported, and inspired as possible.
Our market-leading surgical-recovery application works seamlessly on computers, tablets, and smartphones—and it delivers the best mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets for surgical recovery—so that patients:
- avoid post-surgical complications, ER visits, and hospital readmissions;
- overcome anxiety about post-surgical pain;
- master rehab exercises by watching animated videos from multiple angles;
- adhere to their recovery protocols, heal more quickly, and regain maximum joint function; and
- develop such gratitude for their knee replacements that they become referral sources.
Atlas Health’s easy-to-use 3D-animated patient-facing solution was:
- conceptualized by NASS faculty member Ryan Tauzell;
- seed-funded by an angel investor in Idaho; and
- subjected to practice-based research (PBR) in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and wellness centers in North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida.
The web-based application features:
- biomechanically correct movements from Scotland-trained kinesiologist-animator Keith Krugh,
- cutting-edge healthtech programming by Jamal Mohammed, and
- clinical-quality reviews from Kevin Patrick Jones, an outcomes-accountable musculoskeletal clinician who delivers Concierge Care to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and self-insured employers (SIEs) in the Greater Naples Area of Florida.
The pioneering surgical-recovery application is designed to:
- boost patients’ psychometric scores on the patient activation measure (PAM) scale;
- improve clinical outcome assessment (COA) results; and
- enhance patient-reported outcomes (PRO)—inclusive of activities of daily living (ADLs), health-related quality of life (QOL), and net promoter scores (NPSs).
Atlas Health’s results-focused MSK solution serves as a personalized recovery plan for knee-replacement patients, and it references “prescribed exercises” and the need to adhere to recovery protocols. The surgical-recovery application:
- encourages patients in their greatest moments of concern;
- addresses pain-related and foreign-object bewilderment head-on; and
- includes inspiring biopsychosocial instructions on mindfulness, physical movement, and emotional self-regulation.
The surgical-recovery application incorporates elements of motivational interviewing so patients focus more on their desired endpoints and daily progress than on their temporary pain and interim functional limitations. It educates patients about components of their musculoskeletal systems—bone, muscle, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue—and it helps patients embrace their high-tech implants as a physical upgrade.
The user-friendly MSK solution helps patients track their own progress in terms of improved flexibility, strength, speed, agility, and endurance—and it guides patients through a twelve-step journey from feelings of powerlessness and unmanageability to feelings of empowerment and heightened capability.
Atlas Health’s surgical-recovery application for joint-replacement surgeries helps patients and providers with surgical recovery, speedy rehabilitation, and reduced hospital readmissions across personalized medicine, population health management (PHM), and human performance optimization (HPO) programs.
It helps patients get back to the lives they love—and it helps healthcare providers exceed today’s clinical, financial, and administrative performance standards.
It is the most remarkable surgical-recovery application ever developed for knee-replacement patients.
