Introducing SMARTSTEP™

SMARTSTEP is a digital care management platform, developed exclusively by Blatchford. Built into our prosthetic and orthotic devices it has been developed to provide Healthcare Professionals and wearers with access to detailed device data to improve outcomes, reduce rehabilitation times and simplify care delivery.

Gait Visualiser

Our innovative and unique Gait Visualiser transforms the fitting process, and ongoing care, by allowing clinicians to:

  • View video recordings of the wearer’s movements alongside device sensor data, this enables clinicians to use data to adjust the settings of the device to achieve an optimal fit.
  • Help clinicians assess the wearer’s functional abilities at specific points of the gait cycle and track their progress over time, providing valuable insights before clinic appointments.
  • Create time-stamped data, to support wearer notes and demonstrate medical necessity to support reimbursement claims, demonstrating the wearer’s progress and capabilities.

Personalised Rehabilitation

SMARTSTEP allows wearers to record and share activity sessions remotely, allowing clinicians to track progress to reduce delays in rehabilitation.

Improved Wearer Outcomes

Enhances wearer engagement by providing tools to help track mobility, leading to better adherence and improved outcomes. Additionally, remote monitoring facilitates early detection of potential issues, enabling prompt interventions to prevent complications.

Save Time and Resources

Reduces the need for frequent in-person visits through remote monitoring and check-in surveys, saving time for both clinicians and wearers. Additionally, SMARTSTEP automates data collection and management, lessening administrative burdens and allowing clinicians to prioritise care.
