Discover Orthosium

Welcome to Orthosium, a leading provider of weight-bearing monitoring solutions. Our goal is helping patients recovering from a lower-body injury or surgery comply with their prescribed recovery protocol.

There are approximately 1.4 million lower body injuries & post-surgeries in Canada each year.

​

Over 400,000 require some limitations on body weight applied.
 

Why choose us?

During the recovery process patients are prescribed a weight-bearing protocol. 

Studies indicate that 37% of patients are non-compliant, which increases to over 70% fo elderly patients. This can lead to an extended recovery period and even revision surgery.

What is the CastOff System?

Our solution is simple! The CastOff system is based on a sensor-based insole fitted in the patient’s shoe or walking boot. The information is gathered by the "Pod" attached to the patient's ankle.

The clinician, or caregiver will create a patient profile to set up the weight bearing protocol. 

Once the set up is complete, the Pod will alert, through sounds and vibrations when the patient has exceeded their prescribed weight limit.

The patient’s smartphone alerts & tracks recovery and provides a visual display of progress
