Ortho-Tag

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
