eTRIAGE: The Future of Patient-Centric Care for Osteoarthritis
35 million North Americans suffer from osteoarthritis (OA), and with an aging population and obesity on the rise, the number of OA cases is expected to rise dramatically in the decades to come. This increase will present unsustainable challenges to the healthcare system and patients alike.
OAISYS has developed a unique application that improves outcomes through a value-based healthcare model. The eTriage application offers personalized, proactive, and predictable care focused on the needs and expectations of patients with osteoarthritis, along with providers and payors, in a unified and collaborative approach.
OAISYS MEDICAL
OAISYS is a pioneering medical informatics company dedicated to enhancing care for individuals with Osteoarthritis by leveraging cutting-edge applications and technologies. Our mission is to deliver value to the entire healthcare system, including providers, payors, and most importantly, patients.
We have developed a patented model for OA management that is built upon a solid foundation of evidence-based clinical research and the implementation of optimal business and clinical practices. At OAISYS, our primary focus is on meeting the evolving needs and expectations of patients with OA and their families.

While the general relationship between disability score and X-Ray grade is valid the exceptions are important to understand
OAISYS INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Our unique X-ray grading accurately quantifies the damage across the spectrum of knee deformity, giving physicians and their patients better data to help them make important medical decisions.
​
This technology helps us more effectively match each patient with the appropriate care options for surgery or non-surgery. The knowledge gives patients a role in deciding the best course of action.
EVERY KNEE IS UNIQUE
Did you know that a significant number of surgeries performed for osteoarthritis (OA) are deemed unnecessary or may result in increased discomfort and limited mobility for the patient? This unfortunate situation arises primarily due to a lack of comprehensive understanding about OA among healthcare professionals and their patients. Tragically, this leads to a high level of patient dissatisfaction, with up to twenty percent of individuals expressing disappointment following knee replacement surgery.
Our eTriage system aims to address this issue by providing better quality, personalized data that takes into account each individual's unique condition and the stage it is at. This supports them and their doctor to make better informed decisions about their problem together.

" In large scale epidemiological studies of knee osteoarthritis, including the Osteoarthritis Initiative, we have used results from OAISYS to examine the role of limb alignment in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis. his has involved problem free electronic transfer of several thousand images from the Coordinating enter at UCSF in San Francisco to OAISYS. OAISYS have always handled our images in a reliable manner analyzed them promptly and returned a complete set of clean electronic data. They have worked closely with us in helping to improve the quality of image acquisition, and have also been able to successfully extract the needed data from images of suboptimal quality. We continue to use them for large ongoing imaging studies and are enthusiastic about continued collaborations in the future for studies that require this unique measurement. "
