Background:

Digitalisation is a significant trend in healthcare, accelerated by recent global events.
The orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) sector is undergoing a digital transformation.
Key industry leaders are exploring the drivers behind this shift.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and analyze the underlying trends accelerating the adoption of digitalisation in the customisation of prosthetics and orthotics.
To assess the convergence of technologies in 3D image capture, 3D modeling, and 3D printing within the O&P industry.
To provide an outlook on adoption rates and review regulatory and reimbursement impacts.

Main Methods:

Analysis of converging technological trends in 3D image capture, 3D modeling, and 3D printing.
Review of regulatory and reimbursement landscape impacting digital health adoption in O&P.
Development of a future digital scenario for O&P workflows.

Main Results:

Several trends in 3D imaging, modeling, and printing are converging, driving rapid transformation in the O&P industry.
Adoption rates are projected with considerations for probability and timing.
Regulatory and reimbursement factors significantly influence the pace of digital adoption.

Conclusions:

The convergence of 3D technologies is revolutionising prosthetics and orthotics customisation.
A collaborative effort from regulators, payors, clinicians, and patients is essential to realise the full potential of digital O&P.
The future of O&P is digital, offering enhanced customisation and patient care.
