We’re building Moveshelf, the first all-in-one application for clinical movement labs. Why is that needed now? And for whom? We’re posting a series of blog posts answering that question. In this second part, we’re taking a look at how physicians such as pediatric rehabilitation physicians, orthopaedic surgeons and neurologists benefit from having Moveshelf in the movement lab.
Interactive motion data and video in the electronic health record
Moveshelf brings movement lab data into the Electronic Health Record (EHR). Just like the radiology department provides X-rays in addition to the radiologist report, Moveshelf allows the movement lab to present interactive motion data and video with a direct link from the EHR, using only a browser. Moveshelf has experience connecting to SAP, Epic, ChipSoft HiX, and data layers built on InterSystems’ IRIS for Health using HL7v2 and HL7 FHIR. The video below has a more in-depth look at this topic:
Uniform visualization of motion data
Because Moveshelf is vendor-neutral, its web application provides a uniform visualization of the underlying motion data, independent of the hardware that was used to measure. This reduces time spent in interpreting and understanding the presented data.
Appropriate normative data for individual patients
Each patient has their own unique characteristics. Generic normative datasets are often not appropriate for an individual patient. Because of the structured database underlying Moveshelf, gait lab operators can generate specific normative data appropriate for the patient. For example, based on pathology, gender, body height, or walking speed.
In the rest of the series, we’ll be taking on the perspective of more stakeholders around the movement lab: lab managers, IT managers, data protection officers and researchers.
