The First 10 Minutes of MSK Intake Determines the Next 90 Days of Care
Relying on unstructured patient histories leads to misdiagnoses, wasted clinical time, and inefficient utilization. OrthoPoP captures precise, clinician-informed data before the visit, turning vague symptoms into immediate clinical clarity.
38.5%
of initial MSK visits are misdiagnosed without structured intake.
~20%
of all healthcare visits are related to musculoskeletal conditions.

Solve the Challenge of Inconsistent Patient Intake
In musculoskeletal care, the earliest phase of evaluation often determines everything that follows. However, relying on vague symptoms or free-text descriptions often leads to inefficiency and poor decisions. Traditional tools simply replace paper forms with digital versions, leaving patient input unstructured and forcing providers to reconstruct patient history during the visit. OrthoPoP improves this critical first step by capturing clear, organized data before the appointment even begins.
A Structured Clinician-Informed Workflow
Our platform replaces generic descriptions with precise, clinically relevant information. See how our process easily turns vague symptoms into meaningful clinical insight:
Step 1: Visual Pain Mapping
Patients begin by identifying their specific pain location on an interactive, visual anatomical model. This ensures precision from the very first interaction.
Step 2: Structured Input
Following the pain mapping, patients answer targeted questions about the severity, mechanism of injury, and duration of their symptoms.
Step 3: Clinical Intelligence & Condition Matching
The platform applies clinician-informed logic to the patient’s specific inputs, instantly running red flag screening, identifying likely condition pathways, and generating urgency cues. This isn’t just simple data collection; it is active clinical intelligence that evaluates symptoms the same way an orthopedic specialist would.
Step 4: Clinician-Ready Insight & Routing Guidance
Instead of a generic form summary, OrthoPoP delivers a comprehensive, structured clinical output directly to the provider. The care team receives a complete briefing that includes precise localization, mechanism of injury, severity, red flag status, and exact routing guidance—empowering them to make immediate, informed decisions before the patient is even in the room.
Practical Solutions Built for Your Workflow
OrthoPoP fits directly into existing medical environments without disrupting your scheduling systems or EMR usage. By focusing on healthcare decision support rather than replacing provider judgment, our digital intake system delivers powerful results for orthopedic practices:
Better Patient Routing
Optimize patient flow with precise routing, ensuring each patient sees the right specialist at the right time.
Improved Efficiency
Reduce administrative burdens and enhance productivity with our intuitive digital intake system.
Clearer Imaging Context
Provide clinicians with detailed imaging insights, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
Reduced Unnecessary Visits
Minimize redundant appointments by capturing comprehensive patient information upfront.
Built by Specialists for Real Clinical Workflows
With over 70 years of combined clinical experience, OrthoPoP was designed by a team of practicing surgeons spanning Hip & Knee, Spine, Upper Extremity, Sports Medicine, and General Orthopedics. We didn’t just build theoretical software; we built a platform rooted in the realities of the exam room to capture the exact data providers need.
