Musculoskeletal (MSK) care is undergoing significant transformation, and LainaHealth is at the forefront by revolutionizing patient outcomes collection through its proprietary web AI and computer vision technologies. Recent implementations demonstrate the platform’s efficacy in significantly improving the process of collecting Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and key functional tests remotely via simple text messages, dramatically lowering associated costs.

In collaboration with ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), LainaHealth successfully deployed pre- and post-operative surveys and functional assessments for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) patients. Utilizing standard PROMs like PROMIS-Global, HOOS JR, and KOOS JR, alongside joint Range of Motion (ROM) and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSTS), LainaHealth achieved a patient response rate of 46%, surpassing the CMS mandated capture rate for ASCs.

The adoption of this technology significantly reduced costs associated with data collection by over 90%, representing a savings of $123 per patient dataset compared to traditional institutional costs. This substantial cost reduction was possible by automating the deployment through existing organizational databases, eliminating extensive staff effort and expensive licensing fees.

Moreover, comprehensive functional data such as hip and knee ROM, pain scores using the Wong-Baker scale, and sit-to-stand functional assessments provided clinicians with critical ongoing insights into patient recovery trajectories, supporting informed clinical decision-making and enhancing value-based musculoskeletal care.

Traditional methods of outcomes collection often encounter barriers including high staff workload, low patient compliance, and prohibitive costs. LainaHealth directly addresses these barriers by utilizing automated processes, straightforward patient interactions via text, and a cost-effective platform that significantly reduces administrative burden and enhances patient engagement. This novel approach promotes seamless integration into existing clinical workflows without additional hardware or software installations, thereby streamlining the adoption process.

The technology's user-friendly interface ensures ease of use for patients of varying demographics, effectively bridging the digital divide and fostering higher compliance rates. As evidenced by the high response rate, patients comfortably engage with LainaHealth’s accessible and convenient communication system, ensuring continuous and reliable data collection.
