This collaborative project between ēlizur and the University of Pittsburgh aims to develop CuffLink, a telehealth system for post-rotator cuff repair (RCR) rehabilitation. RCR surgery is a common treatment for shoulder disabilities, but effective postoperative care is crucial. CuffLink integrates Strengthening & Stabilization Systems with remote monitoring capabilities, providing a safe and at-home solution for shoulder mobilization after surgery. The project involves a Delphi survey to understand current RCR best practices, the development of a mobile health system for patients and clinicians, and validation of CuffLink’s accuracy and reliability using RCR patients. This innovation aims to reduce in-person visits, increase accessibility, and enhance communication between patients and clinicians, potentially revolutionizing post-RCR rehabilitation. Successful completion may lead to clinical evaluation in a Phase II proposal. Dr. Bell serves ss the PI for this NIH-STTR Phase I project alongside Micheal McClincy, MD. Ancillary funding for this project was also received through CTSI’s Pitt Innovation Challenge (PInCh) award.
