Clinician-directed hybridRoadmap pathway
Protocol-based care · Wave 2
Preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation
The app can be valuable between visits when it follows the exact procedure, date, precautions, weight-bearing status, and surgeon or therapist protocol.
This pathway is part of the product roadmap and is not currently available as a Cost Plus PT treatment program.
Potential pathway scope
Use cases the product may support.
These are product and research categories—not a self-diagnosis list. A released pathway would still need to confirm that the person, symptom pattern, environment, and goals fit its exact approved rules.
- 01ACL reconstruction
- 02Meniscus repair or meniscectomy
- 03Total knee replacement
- 04Total hip replacement
- 05Rotator cuff repair
- 06Shoulder stabilization or replacement
- 07Achilles repair
- 08Ankle stabilization
- 09Fracture fixation after clearance
- 10Spinal surgery recovery
- 11Carpal tunnel release
- 12Hand, finger, and tendon surgery
- 13Preoperative strengthening and education
How the platform could help
Useful technology with bounded jobs.
Each capability must be validated for this pathway. Approval of one camera task, condition, or population does not authorize another.
Large-movement camera
A validated camera task may observe broad movements such as walking, squats, steps, transfers, range, or balance while preserving a not-observed result.
Close-up camera
A separate close-up camera mode may support a hand, wrist, finger, elbow, or foot task after task-specific calibration and validation.
Hands-free voice
Voice can deliver setup, timing, concise cues, and bounded commands while captions and touch remain complete fallbacks.
Functional progress
The pathway can follow a repeatable life or task measure instead of relying only on pain or exercise completion.
Education and pacing
The app can provide approved education, activity modification, pacing, recovery expectations, and flare-up guidance.
Caregiver-supported mode
The pathway may include an explicit caregiver role for setup, supervision, communication, or safe task completion.
Care ownership
Who and what the pathway still needs.
Every episode must encode surgery date, procedure, precautions, range limits, weight-bearing rules, wound escalation, and the responsible clinician’s protocol.
Clinician-directed hybridThe app can coach and measure home work, but a licensed clinician or medical protocol should establish and supervise the plan.
Camera boundary
Visible does not mean diagnosed.
The camera may help document allowed movement and repetitions; it cannot inspect a wound reliably or override postoperative restrictions.
Required behaviorLow-quality or unsupported input must produce retry, manual mode, or not observed—never a normal result.
Before patient release
A pathway is more than exercise content.
Every family moves through its own clinical, evidence, technical, and operational approval. A later status change should update the catalog, not bypass these gates.
