Rehabilitation outcomes for small labrum tears in the shoulder are inconsistent, with no clear tool to predict which patients will succeed with physical therapy versus requiring surgery, or to prevent persistent pain after surgery.

Existing solutions (PT vs surgery) lack a data-driven decision support system to predict rehab success, leading to trial-and-error treatment and suboptimal outcomes.

It uses a machine learning model trained on thousands of outcomes to help clinicians and patients make evidence-based choices, reduce unnecessary surgeries, and improve long-term results.

Key Features

Patient outcome prediction model for labral tears based on clinical and imaging data
Customized rehab protocol recommendations with probability of success
Long-term outcome tracking dashboard for clinicians to monitor patient progress
Shared decision-making module to visualize risks and benefits for patient discussions

Target Users: Orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, and physical therapists in outpatient surgical centers and orthopedic clinics treating shoulder labral tears.
