Physical therapists struggle to ensure patients follow post-operative rehabilitation protocols correctly when doing home exercise programs independently.

Workarounds Described

• verbally reminds patients what they should and should not be doing
• manually modifies HEP or specific exercises based on trouble patients are having

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that enforces protocol adherence by limiting available exercises and ROM based on surgeon or therapist rules
• Automated system to detect patient deviation from protocol and alert therapist

TheraTrack Protocol

A mobile app that enables physical therapists to assign customized post-op protocols with specific ROM limits and exercise modifications. Patients receive real-time guidance and reminders, while therapists monitor compliance and get alerts when patients deviate from protocol, reducing the need for constant verbal reinforcement.
