Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthotics and Prosthetics

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.
