Millions of Americans suffer from chronic conditions that affect the hand each year, such as the 1.5 million people with rheumatoid arthritis and up to 10 million people with carpal tunnel syndrome. This week, Mayo Clinic forged a partnership aimed at improving treatment for these patients.

每年有数百万美国人患有影响手部的慢性病，例如150万人患有类风湿性关节炎，多达1000万人患有腕管综合征。本周，梅奥诊所建立了一个合作伙伴关系，旨在改善这些患者的治疗。

The health system announced a collaboration with Exer AI, a Denver-based startup focused on improving care for patients with musculoskeletal and movement disorders. Under the partnership, Mayo Clinic will use Exer’s AI platform to diagnose and treat dozens of acute and chronic hand and wrist conditions..

卫生系统宣布与丹佛的一家初创公司Exer AI合作，专注于改善对肌肉骨骼和运动障碍患者的护理。在合作关系下，梅奥诊所将使用Exer的AI平台诊断和治疗数十种急慢性手部和腕部疾病。。

Exer, founded in 2019, trained its proprietary AI engine to understand human motion. Specifically, the company trained its technology to understand a library of important functional assessments, such as total active motion, gait analysis, Kapandji score and fall risk, explained CEO Zaw Thet.

成立于2019年的Exer培训了其专有的人工智能引擎，以了解人体运动。首席执行官Zaw Thet解释说，具体来说，该公司对其技术进行了培训，以了解一系列重要的功能评估，如总主动运动、步态分析、Kapandji评分和跌倒风险。

What Healthcare Can Learn from Costco

好市多可以向医疗保健公司学习什么

The path forward is clear: employers must evaluate their health plan the same way they do their Saturday shopping excursion.

前进的道路是明确的：雇主必须像周六购物一样评估他们的健康计划。

“The assessments run on a tablet —  with the patient standing in front of the camera —  and take about 30 seconds. We don’t use sensors, straps or wearables. The measurements are accurate and objective to reduce variance among practitioners, faster than doing it manually and allow us to see ‘more stuff’ than a human can if they perform the same assessment themselves,” he declared..

“评估在平板电脑上运行，患者站在摄像机前，大约需要30秒。我们不使用传感器、带子或可穿戴设备。测量准确客观，以减少从业者之间的差异，比手动操作更快，如果他们自己进行同样的评估，我们可以看到比人类更多的东西，”他宣布。。

Exer seeks to improve diagnosis and treatment for musculoskeletal and motion disorders wherever the patient is — whether that be in their provider’s office, their home or via telehealth appointment — Thet pointed out.

。

He also noted that the company designs its software for clinicians across multiple specialities, including orthopedics, neurology, spine, geriatrics and physical therapy.

他还指出，该公司为多个专业的临床医生设计软件，包括骨科、神经病学、脊柱、老年医学和物理治疗。

“The platform offers our healthcare customers accurate, objective functional assessments that run on common mobile devices without extra hardware or sensors, freeing up time and resources by optimizing patient volume and efficiency across the continuum of care from referral through to recovery,” Thet stated..

Thet表示：“该平台为我们的医疗保健客户提供了准确、客观的功能评估，这些评估在普通移动设备上运行，无需额外的硬件或传感器，通过优化从转诊到恢复的整个护理过程中的患者数量和效率，节省了时间和资源。”。。

Under the new collaboration, Mayo Clinic will be using Exer’s technology to perform assessments in the clinic, in remote settings and via telehealth visits.

在新的合作下，梅奥诊所将使用Exer的技术在诊所、远程环境和远程医疗访问中进行评估。

Dr. Steven Moran, a Mayo Clinic surgeon and president of the American Society for the Surgery of Hands, will be working with his team to co-develop and distribute a clinical module for hand assessments inside Exer’s platform, Thet said.

特特说，梅奥诊所外科医生、美国手外科学会会长史蒂文·莫兰博士将与他的团队合作，在Exer平台内共同开发和分发一个用于手部评估的临床模块。

“We’ll develop and validate that module with their team, and we’ll aim to present the outcome findings to the society as a new global standard of care/approved protocol for hand and wrist injuries,” he stated.

“我们将与他们的团队一起开发和验证该模块，我们的目标是将结果结果作为新的全球手部和腕部损伤护理标准/批准协议提交给社会，”他表示。

Exer is currently serving nine health systems, though Mayo Clinic is the only one that Thet is permitted to name at this time, he said.

他说，Exer目前为九个卫生系统提供服务，尽管梅奥诊所是目前唯一被允许命名的诊所。

Though there are other digital health companies in the musculoskeletal space, such as Hinge Health, Thet said that his company is the only one with software that runs exclusively on mobile devices.

尽管在肌肉骨骼领域还有其他数字健康公司，如铰链健康公司，但Thet表示，他的公司是唯一一家拥有专门在移动设备上运行软件的公司。

“We’re often competing with legacy hardware — big machines that do these measurements, often with sensors, straps or wearables. In health systems, that could be something like a gait analysis lab, or Microsoft Kinect sensor systems,” he explained.

。

The big difference is that Exer’s platform is “pure software,” like an app in the App Store, Thet declared. He pointed out that this brings the advantages of portability and easy implementation, which makes it easier to conduct rollouts across large health systems.

Thet宣称，最大的区别在于Exer的平台是“纯软件”，就像应用程序商店中的应用程序一样。他指出，这带来了可移植性和易于实施的优点，这使得在大型卫生系统中进行推广变得更加容易。
