Orthopedic orbit solutions

Your best guidance and motivation in the patient's hands, every day between visits

Guided digital support tailored to each procedure and each surgeon's protocol, carried through prehab, surgery, and the full recovery window, so every patient arrives ready and recovers as expected.

The whole practice, from the first consult through return to activity, across joints, sports, and spine.

A trusted digital guide your patients keep, from consult through full recovery, with PROMs that collect themselves.

Your protocol in your surgeons' own words, delivered when each instruction actually matters. Alongside the handout at discharge and the therapy referral, an orbit adds a consumer-grade digital mentor: engaging video, email, and text outreach that keeps patients prepared, motivated, and doing the exercises between visits.

Built to each surgeon's protocol before launch. Nothing added to your team's day.

One orbit, issued once, working for three audiences at the same time.

For the patient

They know what to do

A clear understanding of their procedure, their surgeon, and what recovery will ask of them

Prehab, clearance, and day-of instructions, on the day they apply

Their home exercise program week by week, with reminders that keep it going

Which symptoms mean call us, and which mean go to the ED

For your team

Nothing added to the day

Ordered from the workflow you already run, no new FTEs

Fewer calls asking what the discharge sheet already said

Each surgeon's protocol, not a generic recovery app

We build and maintain the content, including protocol updates

For the practice

You can finally see it

Who opened their orbit and who never did, by patient

Adherence and symptom check-ins routed back before the next visit

PROM completion by procedure, surgeon, and site

Optional: validated measures scored automatically

How to begin

Start with one, add the rest

Most practices start with their highest-volume procedure. All four run as one guide the patient keeps.

Procedure support. Joint replacement, ACL, rotator cuff, spine, arthroscopy.

Therapy adherence. The home program, week by week, with PROMs on schedule.

Nonoperative care. Injections and conservative management before surgery is on the table.

Activity and outreach. Seminars, screenings, and sports or senior activity plans.

A patient’s orbit can evolve as their journey needs change

One orbit supports the full journey, adapting as needs change

The same orbit advances through three versions on its own, with no new app or login for the patient.

AcquisitionBefore they are a patient

Seminar, screening, and referral outreach that helps people choose your practice, plus what is causing the pain and when a procedure is warranted.

Procedure supportConsult through procedure week

Prehab, clearance, logistics, and day-of instructions, delivered week by week instead of handed over in a packet.

Recovery with PROMsHome through return to activity

Weight-bearing, bracing, pain step-down, the home program, and validated measures collected on schedule.

How it deploys

Issued from the workflow you already run

From the CareOrbit app, a scheduled flat file from any EHR, a patient list, a QR code, or a text message.

No new FTEs. Nothing added to anyone's day.

White-label. Your brand, your voice.

Live in a quarter. From kickoff to first patient.

The understanding gap

Four visits inside a 120-day journey.

Those four visits carry the clinical decisions. Everything else, the exercises, the brace, the pain plan, and every judgment about what is normal, is handled at home by a patient working from memory. That is the understanding gap, and the figures below are what it costs. As visit time shrinks, extending your team's presence into those weeks matters more, not less.

What the gap costs

None of these days are billable, and none of them are staffed. A cancelled case, an unfinished home program, a brace worn wrong, or a call that becomes an ED visit all happen here, in the stretch between appointments.

Visits with you

One initial consult, then two or three follow-ups.

120 days

Length of the episode

From the first consult through return to activity.

2 weeks

Between each visit

Long enough for instructions to fade and a program to quietly stop.

116

Days on their own

Where the exercises, the brace, and every recovery decision actually happen.

Measurable ROI

How an orbit provides value.

Every orbit is built based on your target clinical and financial outcomes including revenue to protect, costs to lower, opportunities to expand and staff resources to support.

Fewer cancellations and delays

A cancelled case is operating room time you cannot get back. Prepared patients keep the schedule intact.

Higher therapy protocol adherence

Adherence is what separates a good surgical result from a good functional one.

Fewer avoidable readmissions and ED visits

The most expensive way to answer a question a patient could have had answered at home.

Fewer inbound calls per episode

Every repeat call is staff time spent re-explaining what was already covered.

Higher PROM completion rates

Bundled and value-based programs pay on documented outcomes. Missing scores are unbilled work.

Correct equipment use at home

Brace and weight-bearing errors cause the revisions and delays that erase an episode's margin.

Stronger referral and review volume

A guided recovery is the cheapest patient acquisition a practice has.

A visible practice differentiator

A branded recovery experience is something few competitors in the market can show.

Clinical evidence

The trial behind the platform.

The platform's controlled trial was run in surgical oncology, not orthopedics. We show it as measured and let you judge the transfer.

Controlled clinical trialSiteman Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine

Patients arrived better prepared, called less, and came back less

A controlled trial in hepatobiliary surgical oncology compared an orbit against usual care across the same surgical pathway an orthopedic episode follows: preparation, discharge instructions, home recovery, and the calls in between. The mechanism is comprehension, not oncology. Applying these percentages to an orthopedic population is a modeled transfer, not a measured orthopedic result.

Voices from the pathway

What it sounds like when recovery is guided

From live oncology deployments. Orthopedic orbits are built on the same platform.

Patients see it as incredibly easy to understand and use. We use it to open up dialogues so much faster. Families just run with it!

20 minutes. Your orthopedic pain points, our platform.

No demo script, no obligation. We get introduced, hear which orthopedic moments are costing your team the most, and give you a brief look at the platform. Then we decide together whether it is worth a second conversation.
