WE DEVELOP ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS™ FOR ADVANCED O&P SOLUTIONS.
Orthocare Innovations is a leading research organization in the field of orthotics and prosthetics focused on commercializing advanced technologies throughout the product development life-cycle.
Building on proprietary sensor and actuation technologies, Orthocare Innovations is developing products that monitor, analyze and react in real-time to changes in patient physiology, alignment and gait.
Orthotic and prosthetic devices have traditionally been comprised of inert components and unforgiving materials that are incompatible with the human body’s physiology. These technology limitations have necessitated prosthetic users to adjust to their devices to accommodate changes in size, volume and gait, and to navigate environmental barriers.
Orthocare Innovations seeks to change the prosthetic user experience through paradigm-shifting products in the following four categories: Advanced Patient Interfaces, Active Alignment Components, Microprocessor Controlled Devices and Neuroprosthetics. The company’s product development approach is to produce products that are consistent with, and contribute to, evidenced-based practice demands for verifiable clinical efficacy.
Orthocare Innovations was named the top technology-based economic development opportunity through Oklahoma EDGE in a 2008 statewide competitive process.
