Orthopedic recovery relies on X-rays and sporadic follow-ups. Surgeons depend on subjective patient self-reports, risking delayed & costly reoperation. Canary Medical knee sensor showed monitored patients have 51% fewer readmissions saving up to $5.8Bn for knee recovery alone. But they face adoption hurdles: size, implanted battery risks and change in surgical workflow.
OrthoSens solves this paper-thin, battery-free sensors that integrate into existing implants. SensApp turns implant-level data into actionable recovery insights and recuring revenues leveraging existing reimbursement codes.
Backed by $2M+ non-dilutive funding, 2 IPs with favorable FTO + 1st conditional LOI (>$1.4M revenue) we’re targeting $11.9Bn spine & $13.6Bn remote monitoring markets, impacting 30,000 lives by 2030.
