Company Profile

Since early in 2017, th data w0uld suggest that Greenleaf Medical Systems is probably oit of business. The firm had been developing medical hardware and software pioneering the development of computer applications that were designed to breaking down barriers for the disabled. Greenleaf's Glove TalkerTM was honored as a new communications technology for people with even the most limited physical ability and speech. The centerpiece of the system is a sensored glove worn by the user, who transmits pre-coded hand or finger signals to a computer which translates them into voice-synthesized speech. Current product listings include: TeleRehabilitation System is the first online clinical management system for musculoskeletal disorders (“MSD”). The Greenleaf System is a computer-based system capable of delivering, measuring and dynamically monitoring MSD rehabilitation at home or in the workplace, all in concert with the clinician. The system, which can also be used for injury prevention, allows the development of a rich database of clinical information that allows the development of evidence-based, patient-specific treatment protocols; accurate evaluation of patient progress versus norms; and optimization of treatment and prevention programs. The TeleRehabilitation System dramatically improves rehab results, return workers to the job faster and save employers money. Greenleaf has created a fully-integrated telerehabilitation system by: * Connecting sensor-enabled rehab devices to a PC (or other central processing unit). This allows patients to receive immediate feedback on their exercise performance. * Incorporating engaging content (e.g., personalized games) to help motivate the patient to perform the prescribed exercise and make the exercise regimen an interesting (rather than boring) activity. This leads to greatly improved patient compliance. * Connecting the patient’s PC via a server to the therapist’s PC to allow therapists to accurately measure patient progress, make daily (rather than weekly) adjustments to treatment programs, and provide ongoing support and encouragement to patients. * By developing back-end software to handle administrative tasks; issue non-compliance alerts when patient performance falls outside pre-set limits; and analyze outcomes data to prove system efficacy and allow for the development of evidence-based treatment and prevention protocols; WristSystem: The WristSystem tracks wrist movement in real-time utilizing WristSensor™ gloves and Greenleaf's Movement Analysis System (MAS) software. Measurements help identify tasks that contribute to repetitive stress, cumulative trauma and other disorders. The WristSystem is portable and can also be used to evaluate workstation design at a job site by a qualified medical or ergonomic consultant. WristSystem features include insulated glove sensors that measure flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation; a DataRecorder worn by the subject at the work site to measure wrist movement for up to 8 hours; graphic plots and reports that reveal frequency, direction and degree of repetitive movements; and printed reports that include maximum, minimum, mean and standard deviation values for all sensors, as well as joint velocity and acceleration data. The DataRecorder may also be programmed to alert the subject when wrist extension, flexion or deviation exceed high risk angles; Eval System: The EVAL System consists of software and instrumentation for measuring, diagnosing and analyzing hand and upper extremity movement and strength. The EVAL systems calculates impairment automatically using Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, published by the American Medical Association. Patented, precision tools (e.g., a pinchmeter, hand goniometer, upper extremity goniometer and a customized dynamometer) are used in conjunction with the EVAL software to provide electronic measurement of patient range of motion, pinch strength, and grip strengths; Eval Solo System: The EVAL Solo System is a portable version of the full EVAL system that provides the same group of strength and range of motion examinations as the EVAL System. The SoloSystem offers a customer the option to upgrade from a SoloSystem to a full EVAL System at a later time, and also provides to clinics installed with EVAL the opportunity to add satellite units for measurement and data collection that can be downloaded to the main EVAL System. The SoloSystem includes the standard electronic measurement devices (pinchmeter, hand goniometer, upper extremity goniometer, and customized dynamometer), providing objective measurement and storage of range of motion, pinch strength and grip strength data. As data is collected, it is stored digitally to a portable data control unit. The data can be recalled, transferred to a computer file, or printed. EVAL SoloSystem is sold to clinics with multiple therapist workstations, research environments and physical therapy clinics treating proportionately fewer hand patients; Q System: The Q System is a laptop and PDA-based patient management, documentation and outcomes reporting program for physical therapists is designed for the general outpatient, orthopedic/sports clinic and is ideally suited for clinics seeing a high volume of patients or trying to respond to the demands of managed care by managing information through the establishment of electronic patient record. Q comprehensively addresses objective and functional impairments, allowing the physical therapist to optimally manage patient goals and treatment and exercise plans, toward improved patient outcome and payor reimbursement. Functional progress can be modified at each patient visit and is updated automatically for inclusion with external reports. Operational efficiencies allow management to focus on improved clinical processes and to see more
