Home-based physical therapy monitored by your doctor
Physical therapy (PT) is a critical aspect of orthopedic care and injury recovery, particularly following a surgery. Studies overwhelmingly show that patient pain is reduced and outcomes are improved when PT protocols are followed. PT helps prevent complications and in some cases, can prevent a need for additional surgery.
Dr. Gobezie recently co-founded PT GENIE, a patented, interactive and avatar-based reality PT training platform. Through a simple app on a tablet, PT GENIE provides an immediate connection between healthcare provider and patient.
Our patients now have the option to use the PT GENIE system as part of their recovery. PT GENIE acts as a personal coach. The system enables patients to complete exercises at home and gives instant feedback to the doctor for assistance when needed.
How PT GENIE Works
PT GENIE Patient Dashboard
The patient wears comfortable sensors while following guided exercise videos on their tablet. The sensors feed data to the system that allows Dr. Gobezie and our physical therapy staff to review progress and provide feedback in real-time. The patient dashboard in the app shows progress and encourages ongoing advancement through the protocol.
Our team will evaluate the results to determine if the exercises being performed are furthering the patient’s recovery. Most importantly, it enables both patient and doctor to recognize problems in the recovery stage and address concerns before a complication evolves too far. Additionally, PT GENIE keeps patients motivated to do the exercises and heal faster.
The exercises used in PT GENIE programs were created by the best orthopedists and physical therapists in the industry. Many of them served on the medical staffs of national sports teams.
