Value proposition

Ortho-tag is pioneering a new frontier in healthcare.

Ortho-tag develops technologies that enable and enhance wireless in-body communication, data exchange/storage, and nanodiagnostic functionality of medical implants - providing a versatile, in-vivo platform that connects digital health applications and implanted biosensors with the human body.

In-Body Communication

• A unique system in which to wirelessly communicate with implanted medical devices through the human body, utilizing proprietary transcutaneous volume conduction

• Volume conduction communications offers many advantages over traditional RFID, as well as enabling the highest level of data security

• Powering implantable chips/tags and nanobiosensors without the use of an internal battery

• Overcoming signal interference with other metallic implants


Implantable Data Exchange/Storage

• Real-time data access and secure exchange with implanted (high-capacity) chips/tags Identify patient’s implanted device with UDI compliance, including total hip/knee/spine prosthetic hardware

• In vivo system and method for storing data, information and images relating to a medical implant device

• Potential modifications and miniaturization can be applied to other medical implants and future applications


NanoBiosensor Technologies

• Radically reduces the potential for Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)

• Ability to detect, through integrated, custom designed nanosensors, the presence of surgical and prosthetic joint infection – in real time

• Early detection (and intervention) of a progressing infection provides an additional layer of post-operative patient safety
